Shortlist Exhibition

Award360°

The Award360°2025 Shortlist Exhibition, as the centerpiece of the Design360 Festival, will present 411 shortlisted works and 8 Emerging Designer Award works to the audience.

The works span 14 categories including commercial branding, book design, packaging design, poster design, and experimental design, showcasing the current state and potential trends of Asian design from diverse perspectives.

Special Exhibition

The "Special Exhibition" aims to position designers as active expressers, exploring and showcasing more possibilities of design through curation.

This year, Design360 has collaborated with design studio Y17studio and designer Wu Yongkai (Su Wukou) to bring you two design exhibitions with different perspectives.

They Are: artist and worker

They Are:artist and worker is an ongoing project. It is a project based on reality, whose predecessor was a garment factory selling workwear worn by factory workers.

The workwear has collaborated with photographer Wing Shya on apparel collections, as well as co-branded projects with Salomon, Vans, Umbro, etc.

This exhibition brings together designers from multiple countries, using work display and workwear creation to interpret the relationship between designers, artists, and workers from different cultural backgrounds and contexts.

Design wiki

Design wiki is a small attempt by Design360to venture into public design education.

Design is never far from us; it exists in every corner of life. We hope to use a relaxed and fun approach to chat with everyone about those "aha!" moments of design knowledge within "clothing, food, living, transportation, knowledge, and entertainment".

2 Design Market

The design market with the most design atmosphere in 2025 will be held at the Design360 Festival. This section features 80+ participants from various creative fields such as design, books, cultural and creative products, typography, illustration, and music.

3 Brand Planning

The "Brand Planning" unit of the Design360 Festival 2025 is fully upgraded. This year, it is co-creating with 10+ brands including Founder Type, Meisheng Paper, Achmeism, Ltd.Ltd, and many others., to bring richer, more interesting, and more fun limited-time brand activities.

4 Design Forum

The Design360 Forum 2025 will be held on Nov 22 and 23 at the Hangzhou Light Theatre, divided into the "Judges Forum" and the "Thematic Forum".

This year, the Design360 Forum will present two major annual topics: "Graphic Design in the Asian Context" and "Slow Brand, Slow Design".
