Share & Enjoy

台灣設計師週今年的主題是「享・設計」，是分享，也是享受。誰來「享・設計」呢？設計師與設計圈當然是人選，但更要邀大眾一起。

因為「享・設計」，就是想設計的更多可能性，替使用設計的人著想，讓大家的生活更美好，這樣一來，想設計的過程就會更加令人Enjoy！

台灣設計師週也有更多可能性了。在華山1914創意園區舉辦，這裡提供了一個跨界多元融合的場域，今年不但主題展覽陣容更堅強，還多了產業形象區、好設計徵選、設計市集等新單元，並有許多國際設計團體或設計師前來參展，延伸了台灣設計師週的範圍，也讓設計氣氛感染到城市個角落。

Eight programs were included at Taiwan Designers’ Week’09: There are 36 curated exhibitions at “Theme Zone”; “Design Market” for design lovers to shop at the pop-up weekend market; “Taiwan Good Design Selection” presented 20 pieces of work; “Let’s Talk Design” expanded to 12 talks which invited people to learn more about design, “Open House” with 7 studios opened their door to share their concepts and ideas; “Buy Design” the online campaign in collaboration with Seven-Eleven; “Go Design” introducing design hotspots and fun events all over the city between August and September. The whole fair attracted 250 designers with 300 pieces of original works participated, including exhibitors from Sweden, Germany, China, Japan and Holland. The fair was supported by 160 volunteers over the 10 days and has reached almost 50,000 visitors.

Design should not be exclusive, sharing and enjoyment is the essence of design. Taiwan Designer’ Week not only values the importance of design process, but also attaches importance to the response and output of the users. Our lives are surrounded with design, through the exhibition platform and related activities we hope to share the concepts, so that everyone can enjoy the design!
