The Wallpaper* Chinese Edition Design Awards, launched in 2021, adopt the perspective of "Happening in China, Developing in China, Thinking in China." The awards evaluate entries based on social value, innovation, future development potential, and public influence, spanning multiple fields such as architecture, design, art, and fashion. The jury comprises top international experts, including Pritzker Prize laureates, Oscar winners, and international curators from various countries, making it one of the most prestigious and highly regarded awards in the global design community.
Wallpaper, a British magazine founded in 1996, profoundly influences global design trends and high-end lifestyles with its unique perspective and ultimate aesthetic standards. It is often referred to as the "Design Bible."
Mr. GaoXueming is the founder and Chairman of NorthGlass. In 1995, he established Luoyang NorthGlass Technology Co., Ltd., one of China's earliest high-tech enterprises dedicated to the R&D, design, and manufacturing of glass deep-processing equipment. Under his leadership, the company developed China's first horizontal roller-type glass bending and tempering furnace unit, breaking the monopoly of foreign companies. In 2004, NorthGlasssuccessfully developed a new generation of "truly flat and distortion-free" tempering units, providing key glass products for several national projects, including the National Centre for the Performing Arts and Olympic venues. Up to now, NorthGlasshas accumulated over 400 patents.
Mr. Li Chunchao, Marketing Director of NorthGlass, attended the awards ceremony on behalf of Chairman GaoXueming and delivered a speech. He reflected on the company's 30-year journey: "In the first decade, we established standards from scratch; in the second decade, we transitioned from standards to 'non-standard'; and now, in the third decade, NorthGlassis steadfastly expanding globally, creating more possibilities within the 'non-standard' realm."
在颁奖晚宴上,著名演员黄渤先生恰当地指出:“标准适用于产品,而非标准则适用于艺术”,这完美地呼应了今年颁奖的主题“非标时代”。这个主题强调了独特性、持续的实验和创造新的个人表达——这与NorthGlass的 corporate文化“无限创新,坚持是成功的关键”深深共鸣。从打破垄断到技术领先,从建立标准到超越标准,NorthGlass的每一个突破都展示了真正的创新始于对标准的尊重,并通过探索“非标”而蓬勃发展,这都源于对创新的坚定勇气和开拓精神。
