Theme of the Chinese Design Day will be "Chinese Design Culture and Tradition". From way back China has a rich cultural tradition. But the present generation of Chinese Designers grew up in an era when culture was non existant. After the Cultural revolution and the following stormy embrace of western values Chinese contemporary designers are now searching for a new Chinese design identity.

Together they will exlplore what binds them, where their roots are and how they can develop a uniquely Chinese set of design values and new design language for the new China. Tradition and revolution; Burden or relief?
 
The ten speakers are carefully selected based upon their authority in the profession, unique vision on Chinese design and excellence in story line. The Chinese presentations will be translated simultaneously into English.
 
 
In addition to the "Chinese Design Day" over 40 Chinese designers will attend the World Interiors Meeting and enjoy an extended program with tours and excursions to recent highlights in Dutch interior design.
