我们选择在这里，

米兰·雷奥纳多·达芬奇国家科学技术博物馆，

举办这次活动并向这位伟大的天才致敬。

It is the 500th anniversary of

Leonardo Da Vinci’death in this year.

Why we chose to held the event in

Museo Nazionale Della Scienza E Della

Tecnologia Leonardo Da Vinci

is that we pay tribute to the great genius.

也希冀开启中国与意大利

乃至全世界设计交流合作的新篇章。

And start a new chapter of design exchange

and cooperation in Italy and all over the world.

广州设计周

我们来自中国，诞生于2006年。

我们是中国设计产业资源整合运营平台，

在中国服务室内设计及相关产业。

Guangzhou Design Week (GZDW),

which comes from China and was born in 2006.

It's a business interactive platform

of China design industry,

which serving for interior design

and related industries.

中国有900多万室内设计关联从业者，

包括建筑设计、室内设计以及家居产品设计等...

过去十三年，

其中超过50%与我们交流和互动过。

Over 9 million practitioners

who related to interior design in China,

including architectural,interior,

home product design and so on.

In the past 13 yeas,

over 50% of them have interacted with GZDW.

这些画面是我们交互时的场景，

当然只是极少的一部分。

You can tell from the below picture.

Of course, what you see

on the page as only the tip of an iceberg.

在中国，我们已建立

有超过100座城市的设计师服务运营站点，

他们在所在城市开展

与当地设计师的日常交互与服务工作。

GZDW has set up more than 100 cities

partners around China.

They carry out daily interactions and service

with local designers in their own city.

十三年来，我们围绕设计师的

设计推广、荣誉盘点、学习提升、

视野开拓、产业对接等各级需求，

逐步构建了广州设计周

“展会+奖项+论坛+游学”设计师成长服务体系。

GZDW focuses on designer's demand,

such as design promotion, honor inventory,

learning improvement, expanding horizons,

industry linking, etc in 13 years.

Gradually form a design industry revolution

which is FAIR & AWARDS & FORUM & ACADEMY

in Guangzhou Design Week.我们策划举办了许多不同题材的项目来供设计师参与。

在中国，设计师亲切的将广州设计周称之为他们的家。

而每年广州设计周举办年度展会的时候，

便成为了他们回家欢聚的日子。

GZDW has organized many projects

with different themes for designers to participate in.

Guangzhou Design Week,

a place the designers can call HOME friendly.

It's a gathering day when Guangzhou Design Week

holds the annual exhibition.

2018年，他们欢聚的场景是这样的。

Let's review the Guangzhou Design Week 2018.

当然，这种场景2019年还将继续!

12月5-8日，欢迎大家回家再聚!

Of course!

On December 5th-8th ,2019,

welcome back home and gather again.

我们每年还会增加新的题材项目，

今年也不例外，

比如以“色彩无界”为主题的设计师摄影展。

New projects will be added every year

and no exception in this year.

For example, COLOUR UNBOUNDED

for photographic exhibition.

比如为撑起设计半边天的女性设计师而设立的

“她设计奖”，

当然还有更多新的策划项目会持续推出…

Hers Design Award for female designer

and more new projects.

我们拥抱世界，

所以今天来到了米兰。

我们希望从米兰出发，

搭建中外设计营商桥梁。

把国外的好设计和品牌介绍到中国，

把中国的好设计和品牌推向全世界。

GZDW embraces the world and prospects to

build a bridge for sino-foreign design business,

for bringing great foreign

Design & Brand to China,

also promoting China Design

& Brand to the world.

我们有一支专业的团队来从事这项工作，

他们分别是广州设计周国际事务顾问，

纵横欧美尖端产品设计领域多年的新加坡华人Kelvin，

对中外设计与产品贸易往来非常有经验的Bruce，

以及广州设计周国际事务团队

James、Jeannie、Cassy和Jein。

There is a professional team

which including international affairs consultant

Mr.Kelvin Goh who has been in the field of

cutting-edge product design in

Europe and America for many years,

and Mr.Bruce Wang who is experienced with

sino-foreign design and trade,

and Mr.James Peng, Ms. Jeannie Huang,

Ms. Cassy Liu and Ms. Jein Chen to do that work.

同时我们也在全球范围建立了合作伙伴联盟，

目前已经在全球几十个地区和城市拥有了伙伴联盟成员。

At the same time, Guangzhou Design Week

International Alliance

has been established globally.

Currently, there are partners in dozens of

regions and cities around the world.

很欣喜的是，

他们已经在行动了，

他们认为今天的中国设计与品牌，

到了需要被全世界重新认知与定义的时候了。

Iam very happy that they have done so.

They believe that Chinese design and China brand

need to be re-recognized and

defined by the world.

他们说八个世纪前马可波罗发现了中国，

并把中国介绍给了全世界。

今天，他们希望来发现中国的好品牌，

并将中国的好品牌推介给全世界。

Eight centuries ago,

Marco Polo has discovered China

and introduced it to the world.

Today, they strive to

bring China brands to the world.

于是，面向中国泛家居产业发起了

一个Best of Brands的行动。

新加坡人给它起了一个非常响亮的中文名字，

叫“世界的中国品牌”计划。

As a result,

a program was launched for

Chinese home furnishing industry,

which is called Best of Brand

by the Singaporeans.

经评定委员会审核，

唯有在企业的使命与责任、

品牌质素、国际视野、设计原创

等指标上全面卓越的品牌方能入选。

After review by board member,

only the brand with a comprehensive

excellence will be selected.

The evaluation criteria includes

relevance and responsibility,

a label of quality, international visibility,

originality of design and other indicators.

期待更多世界的中国品牌崛起！

也期待今年12月与你们相聚在广州设计周！

谢谢大家..
