China International Designer Works Exhibition and Trade Fair DOD

The China International Designer Works Exhibition and Trade Fair DOD has been a key innovation engine and communication platform in the field of original design in China since its inception in 2012. It is renowned as the "venerable exhibition that fosters emerging designers." Over the past decade, DOD has committed itself to discovering and nurturing new designers while supporting original design brands.

Serving as a bridge between designers, brands, manufacturers, and distributors, DOD provides an efficient platform for communication, exchange, and trade. It gathers design elites from around the world and collaborates with top domestic design media to organize a variety of exciting design activities over four days, witnessing an increasing number of Chinese original designers stepping onto the global stage, showcasing the power and charm of Chinese original design.

Founded at a pivotal moment when "Made in China" transitioned to "Design from China" in 2012, DOD not only witnessed the mainstream emergence of originality but also experienced the change of local designers from "self-expression" to "market co-creation."

The "Young by DOD" program, launched in 2019, offers a practical platform for emerging designers from inspiration to implementation, creating a bottom-up ecological cycle of originality.

In 2025, DOD will reset its path under the theme "REFRESH Design," promoting the transition of originality from creative acts to industrial actions and shifting from isolated events to sustainable mechanisms.

Concurrent Activities: The DOD Design Forum serves as a collision space for designers, gathering original designers from around the world to share design inspirations, exchange creation insights, and discuss industry trends, providing the best platform for the collision of design thinking.

The trade matching service connects designers and brands with potential business partners, promoting the commercialization of design works and achieving a perfect fusion of creativity and market. Here, there are no isolated ideas, only tangible values.
