Taiwan and Thailand Sign Cooperation Agreement to Connect Design Industries Taiwan Design Research Institute (TDRI) is collaborating with Thai Lifestyle Product Federation (TLPF) to enhance connections between the design sector in Taiwan and the industries in Thailand. To achieve this goal, TDRI Vice President Mr. Oliver Lin and TLPF President Mr. Supat Sriwannavit signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on May 16th, 2024. This collaboration is an affirmation of the design capabilities of Taiwan by the industrial sector in Thailand, said TDRI Vice President Oliver Lin, and it marks a new chapter in this cooperative relationship. The agreement offers the Taiwanese design sector opportunities to engage with industrial organizations in Thailand and provide design services for Thai industries, while also elevating both sides’ international influence. On the day of the MOU signing, TDRI also invited Johnason Lo 羅申駿, the founder of JL DESIGN , and architect Chen Wei from Meta House, a Golden Pin Design Award Mark winner, to attend. The Thai side extended invitations to Mr. Niphon Ratana-arporn, President of the Thai Housewares Trade Association, Mrs. Mrs.Sununta Subhapholsiri, Vice President of the Home Decorative Design and Lifestyle Products Trade Association, and Mrs. Vilasinee Churat, President of the Thai Gifts, Premiums, and Decorative Association, to witness the ceremony.

On the same day, TDRI also held a Golden Pin Design salon in Bangkok at AUA Ratchadamri with local media partner art4d. It focused on “inspiring creativity to shape values, ideas, and statements in design for a better world”. Four design practitioners from Taiwan and Thailand discussed how to respond to contemporary challenges with innovations to achieve meaningful changes. Both the MoU and the salon have driven design collaborations forward between Taiwan and Thailand, and deliver new opportunities and paths for the industries on both sides.

#InternatioanlDesignDay April 27: Is it Kind... In celebration of International Design Day with the theme "Is it Kind," we're excited to share the news about the "School Textbooks Design Award," Taiwan's pioneering design competition dedicated to educational textbooks! This isn't just another competition; it marks a significant step towards nurturing kindness through education. By encouraging publishers to engage in independent design and development, and with the support of the "School Textbooks Design Guidance Program," we're fostering connections between the publishing and design industries. Through design thinking, we're promoting innovative solutions that enhance learning experiences and foster kindness among students. Textbooks are more than just tools for learning, they're also vehicles for empathy, understanding, and inclusivity. Our mission is to merge Taiwan's educational and design expertise, starting with cultivating children's aesthetic sensibilities through textbooks. Quality educational materials not only aid teachers in their instruction but also empower students, sparking curiosity and creativity while promoting kindness and compassion.
