5th Anniversary Design Salon

——Honorary Director of Red Dot Design Museum Xiamen

Prof. Cai Jun

▲ 沙龙现场

Rather than a straight-forward expression of innovative idea, design is an internalized presentation of the designers' in-depth reflection on lives.

On the afternoon of 28th, a large number of guests gathered at the event site of “Live Design Talk: ACCOMPANIED BY GOOD DESIGN”, the 5th Anniversary Design Salon of Red Dot Design Museum Xiamen. International jurors Prof. Cai Jun, Dirk Schumann and Dr. Joseph Francis Wong focused on the three major design issues of science, humanities, and society, and talked with CGD award-winning designers, representatives of famous brands, and design media on the scene of the salon, discussing and interacting with each other, and opening up a "brainstorming" about the future development of design.
