Design,
an infant industry, plays an important role in cultural life and
economy. Especially in China, numerous opportunities will definitely
emerge in the rapid developing period. Many advance designers try to
discover every new possibility to mature the design industry, aiming to
usher in a colorful life style filled with creativity.
"Thinking
thing: Seeking soul" is the theme of the new Asian generation product
exhibition. "Thinking thing" dates back to the saying "express
aspiration by describing things"(Tuo wu yan zhi). Design works are not
in common with those original items. Designers bestow the thoughts and
ideas on the products, the "things" are not only seen and touched but
also to inspire and move people.
Among this, "Seeking soul" will
fully express Asian cultural features and its cultural difference from
the western countries through the products. Traditional Asian culture
pays much attention to the "soul". And the products are the
spokesperson to reflect how the designers and artists think. This
exhibition shows how the designers and artists seek their souls.
