2011 China Textile Design Competition announced in Nantong, a home textile distribution center. This means that there are new nodes in China's home textile design. Home textile design always goes forward in the summary. Although the final gold and silver bronze award is not gorgeous, it shows the whole level of home textile design.

The outstanding advantages of this prize winning work are more attention to detail, more focus on technology and closer to the market.

Looking forward to the future

Perhaps, such as golden sun won the gold award works may not represent the leap forward pace of home textile design, but the home textile design thinking, thinking about the status quo coordinates, thinking about the way forward, thinking about the future trend...

"From this competition, we can see that many works try to find connotations from ancient symbols, and then create them again."

Xu Ping, vice president of the school of design, China Central Academy of Fine Arts, said, "for example, the symbolic meaning of bamboo, or lotus, water...

Combine these elements of East and West, ancient and modern, and use rich imagination to re deduce and create something new.

He said that five thousand years of civilization means that China will become the leading role in the world. As a home textile designer in China, we have the confidence and responsibility to bring the real "Chinese style" to the world.

"A good home textile design must carry the artist's view of history and humanity.

The designer's profound local culture is the foundation of design works.

Xu Wei, a professor at the school of fine arts and design, Nantong University, said: "this is not the same as that of writers and painters.

The style reflected in the design should also be functional and technical.

"Chinese elements should not be simple symbols found in old paper piles.

When foreign designers have applied Jin Mu's concept of fire and water to design, if we still stay at the level of Chinese knot, we should really introspection.

Xu Bohua, chairman of waltay International Textile Co., Ltd. believes that "as a home textile designer, we need to express Oriental philosophy in a more diversified way and incorporate Oriental wisdom into modern design."

"How to integrate your understanding of life in design and how to make the work more cultural?

This is perhaps what every designer is striving for.

Liu Xiaodan, editor in chief of home furnishings magazine, said: "cultural connotation is not a stack of elements but a cultural accomplishment of designers.

Increasing the attractiveness of works requires constant accumulation in life.

"Home textile products, regardless of style, color and function, can express modern style and form a dynamic trend.

Therefore, it requires designers to constantly design new styles and create works that are consistent with the spirit and trend of the times.

Zhan Binghong, Dean of the school of art and design, Beijing Institute Of Fashion Technology, said: "the future home textile design must integrate the world and lead the future."

In fact, looking back at all the design competitions, the works of this competition have made great progress in material selection, process application, style design and pattern matching, especially in the fields of towels, curtains and cloth art.

After the match, Jin Qingzhe, President of the Korean friendship planning company, said with emotion: "in the near future, China will pform from a big weaving country to a design power, as long as there is fertile soil and lasting endurance and encouragement and strength from all sides."
