廣州設計周
我們來自中國，誕生于2006年。
我們是中國設計產業資源整合運營平臺，
在中國服務室內設計及相關產業。
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

中國有900多萬室內設計關聯從業者，
包括建筑設計、室內設計以及家居產品設計等...
過去十三年，
其中超過50%與我們交流和互動過。

including architectural,interior,
home product design and so on.
In the past 13 yeas,
over 50% of them have interacted with GZDW.
這些畫面是我們交互時的場景，
當然只是極少的一部分。
You can tell from the below picture.
Of course, what you see
on the page as only the tip of an iceberg.
在中國，我們已建立
有超過100座城市的設計師服務運營站點，
他們在所在城市開展
與當地設計師的日常交互與服務工作。
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.
十三年來，我們圍繞設計師的
設計推廣、榮譽盤點、學習提升、
視野開拓、產業對接等各級需求，
逐步構建了廣州設計周
“展會+獎項+論壇+游學”設計師成長服務體系。
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

我們策劃舉辦了許多不同題材的項目來供設計師參與。
在中國，設計師親切的將廣州設計周稱之為他們的家。
而每年廣州設計周舉辦年度展會的時候，
便成為了他們回家歡聚的日子。
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，他們歡聚的場景是這樣的。
Let's review the Guangzhou Design Week 2018.
當然，這種場景2019年還將繼續!
12月5-8日，歡迎大家回家再聚!
Of course!

我們每年還會增加新的題材項目，
今年也不例外，
比如以“色彩無界”為主題的設計師攝影展。
New projects will be added every year
and no exception in this year.
For example, COLOUR UNBOUNDED
for photographic exhibition.
比如為撐起設計半邊天的女性設計師而設立的
“她設計獎”，
當然還有更多新的策劃項目會持續推出…
Hers Design Award for female designer
and more new projects.
我們擁抱世界，
所以今天來到了米蘭。
我們希望從米蘭出發，
搭建中外設計營商橋梁。
把國外的好設計和品牌介紹到中國，
把中國的好設計和品牌推向全世界。
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.
我們有一支專業的團隊來從事這項工作，
他們分別是廣州設計周國際事務顧問，
縱橫歐美尖端產品設計領域多年的新加坡華人Kelvin，
對中外設計與產品貿易往來非常有經驗的Bruce，
以及廣州設計周國際事務團隊
James、Jeannie、Cassy和Jein。

同時我們也在全球范圍建立了合作伙伴聯盟，
目前已經在全球幾十個地區和城市擁有了伙伴聯盟成員。
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，
他們已經在行動了，
他們認為今天的中國設計與品牌，
到了需要被全世界重新認知與定義的時候了。
I am 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.
他們說八個世紀前馬可波羅發現了中國，
并把中國介紹給了全世界。
今天，他們希望來發現中國的好品牌，
并將中國的好品牌推介給全世界。
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，面向中國泛家居產業發起了
一個Best of Brands的行動。
新加坡人給它起了一個非常響亮的中文名字，
叫“世界的中國品牌”計劃。
As a result,
a program was launched for
Chinese home furnishing industry,
which is called Best of Brand
by the Singaporeans.
經評定委員會審核，
唯有在企業的使命與責任、
品牌質素、國際視野、設計原創
等指標上全面卓越的品牌方能入選。
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.
而希洛系統門窗、木里木外
就是這樣的世界的中國品牌
它們致力于做全世界最好的系統門窗
和世界最頂級的東方感木作品牌，
對設計創新和工藝品質的極致追求值得稱贊，
不輸給世界任何同類品牌。
And the CIVRO & the Iwoodstory
are the Best of Brands in the world.
They are committed to being
the best in the world.
The ultimate pursuit of design innovation
and process quality are more commendable
than other brands in the world.
期待更多世界的中國品牌崛起！
也期待今年12月與你們相聚在廣州設計周！
謝謝大家..
