2020-03-26
For the past decades, design awards select design works of high quality from around the globe, presenting the generation and change of design to the designers and design lovers around the world. They are the windows exploring the trend of design and the platforms on which designers exchange ideas. As the last completed international design award in 2019, the CGD Award 2019 demonstrates good designs from 49 categories and perspectives under the motto “Pursuit of Contemporary Good Design”. This year’s CGD Award Winners present four focuses including the latest trends in Geographical Culture, Technological Application, Human Interaction and Social Responsibilities.
Highlight One:

Good products not only focus on the quality but also on the experience of beauty. Among the applicants of CGD Award 2019, many are unique in their creativity, providing new solutions for design problems. Those works pay attention not only to the careful selection of materials and forms, but also to human needs, desires and emotions, which intensified the competition of CGD 2019 compared to previous years.
Highlight Two
Does globalization conflict with local design?

Among the winners of CGD Award 2019, many enterprises added local culture elements into the design to win the heart of users. Under the context of globalization, the global designs still hold competitive edges. But we can find that the competition between local design and global design is reconcilable where the portion of high technology embedded within the product plays an important role.
Highlight Three
How should a product live its full life cycle
to shoulder social responsibilities?

With the advance of society, available resources are diminishing with increasing ecological problems. The product design plays an important role in the solution of ecological problems which requests designers to consider the usage and recycling process and the planning of the product life cycle in terms of the production, recycling and regeneration. Among the CGD Award 2019 winners, we are glad to find those thoughts and considerations. Many designers have offered their solutions and conscientiously shouldered the social responsibilities.
Highlight Four
Any new insights in the integration of intelligence, technology and users?

Over the past 10 to 15 years, good design not only pursues a good appearance, but also embodies science-based thinking. On the one hand, product design tries to incorporate human experience into digital world, serving people’s preferences, imaginations and expectations. On the other hand, with the advantages of advanced technologies such as 5G, big data, human intelligence and Internet of Things, the high-tech products interconnect with each other, building an intelligent environment together. The above two typical trends that shows the combination of intelligence, technology and users is obviously demonstrated in this year’s CGD Award winners.
