NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- On October 18, 2014 (US Time Oct. 17), in Four Seasons Hotel on 5th Avenue in New York City, the Global Pioneer Design Association, the Global Pioneer Design Award Organizing Committee and Pioneer Design News Web (http://www.xfsjxw.cc) jointly held the award presenting ceremony of the Annual Excellent Design Award of Global Pioneer Design Award for 2013 and 2014. Ms. Shashi Caan (US), Judge of Architecture Group, an international interior designer and the President of International Federation of Interior Architects and Designers, made a special-purpose trip from Britain to New York for acting as the distinguished guest to present the plate and certificate of the Annual Excellent Design Award of Global Pioneer Design Award to the designer ZHENG Yanghui (Fuzhou City, China), the winner of 2013 Annual Excellent Design Award of Global Pioneer Design Award and SU Yang (Xiamen City, China), Design Director of Xiamen Sulin Design Studio, the winner of 2014 Annual Excellent Design Award of Global Pioneer Design Award.

Global Pioneer Design Award is held once every year. Judges from different countries first select 48 Gold, Silver and Copper winners from 7 project groups and then select the only Annual Excellent Design Award winner. Participants are all talented, about 60% of them are from Hong Kong and Taiwan while the number of participants from Mainland China is also considerable, including well-known designers from Shenzhen, Beijing, Shanghai and other regions. Receiving the award is considered as the greatest honor one designer can have in his/her design career, with the competition for the Award being so fierce.

ZHENG Yanghui, the winner of 2013 Annual Excellent Designer Award of Global Pioneer Design, has been working hard in interior design industry for over a decade. His work was commented by Judge Jurgen Bey as a model for China's culture to lead the development of modern interior design. SU Yang, the winner of 2014 Annual Excellent Design Award of Global Pioneer Design, has Dali's fantasies, and insists on giving his company's sculpture to America's MOMA Modern Exhibition House so as to enable the world to see and feel the power of creation of Chinese designers. Both designers, as representatives of China's design circle, have brought Chinese designs to the US and the international stage and created a new model of communication for Sino-US design cultures.

Ms. Shashi Caan, the award presenting guest and the President of International Federation of Interior Architects and Designers, congratulated the winning designers and expressed her positive outlook for the globalization of Chinese designs. Partner Design leads the latest design culture. Chinese designs will definitely go global and attract the world's attention with an increased level of interaction between China and the US design communities.

Ranran, the Executive Director of Pioneer Design, also known as the first organizer of a well-known designers' forum, said, "The winning designers' works are unnecessarily better than those well-known designers' works I have seen in the past decade, but they are definitely special in some extent and are pioneer designs of an exploratory spirit. Design serves life and the future so there is a space for them. I hope, just like the Pritzker Prize and the Red Dot Award, under the leadership of Global Pioneer Design, we would present Chinese designs to the world and meanwhile, adding new blood to the world of design."

Global Pioneer Design Association is building connection and cooperation with some design associations and organizations and professional universities in the US, Netherlands, Italy, France, India, Hong Kong and Taiwan. In the future, we will focus on the award presenting ceremony of the Excellent Award Global Pioneer Design Award so as to construct a wider scope of design cooperation between China and all nations in the world and assist Chinese designs to go global.
