At a star-studded ceremony this evening in Taipei’s Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, the Golden Pin Design Award announced 30 Best Design winners and 2 Special Annual Award winners for Circular Design and Social Design. The winning designers were invited on stage to accept the coveted Best Design trophy and deliver their acceptance speeches, conveying gratitude to the design community.

The Golden Pin Design Award 2019 Grand Ceremony gathered together the design community from Taiwan, Asia and beyond to celebrate the very best designs of the year, and to usher in new design trends for the future. Celebrating the dawn of an emerging trend in design for sustainability, this year’s award ceremony focused on the design industry’s role in implementing the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals under the theme “Gala @ 23:59”. The award ceremony’s creative director, Keng-Ming Liu (Founder and Creative Director of Bito) curated the entire event around this theme, from the key visual to the opening ceremony video, and the feature video where Bito interviews the jury members about design for sustainability.

Luisa Bocchietto (Former-President of the World Design Organization) praised all examples of circular design on the shortlist, predicting growth in the trend of design for sustainability. Shu-Chang Kung (President of the Chinese Society of Interior Designers) highlighted professional curation in the integration design category, complementing the excellent integration of design, culture, and industry. Ching-Yueh Roan (Professor in the Department of Art and Design at Yuan Ze University) notes a humanized design focus among product entries from Taiwan, by which he means designers enhance the perception of warmth between people and objects.

The Golden Pin Concept Design Award 2019 Final Selection jury also gathered together 10 global design experts, covering all award categories. Wei-Hsiung Chan (Founder of Business Next Magazine) was impressed with the level of animation, especially those from China that discuss social issues such as alienation and domestic violence.
