2025 Design Dim Sum
Date: March 18-21, 2025
Location: Guangzhou, China, Canton Fair Complex
Organizer: China International Furniture Fair (CIFF)
Curator: Hongchao Wang
Design Dim Sum is an annual design event known for its flexibility and forward-thinking nature. Every year, the theme of the event is adjusted based on current social trends and global events to ensure that its discussions align with societal issues. For example, this year’s focus is on how cross-cultural niche lifestyle products can improve quality of life. Through showcasing global design brands and discussions, the event explores how innovative designs can improve modern living.
The core of Design Dim Sum 2025 is the diversity of cross-cultural design products. The focus shifts away from pure manufacturing capability and instead highlights how unique products can convey quality of life and promote cultural and design exchanges between global and Chinese markets. The mission of Design Dim Sum is to sync with global design trends every year through CIFF and, by offering multiple perspectives, deeply explore the global search for a better life through design.
This year, XJTLU Industrial Design will participate with the exhibition MOSAIC: A Hub for Design Exploration and Innovation.
Guangzhou: The Global Hub of Trade and Design
