追求卓越，超越自我。這是我所認識的porada，也是porada 風靡全球的原因。
The pursuit of excellence, surpass oneself. This is the porada I recognize, and this is why porada is all the rage in the world now.

 

築硯美學創辦人James Liang如此說道：「今年的porada國際設計獎已邁入第八年，我在這一次的評審過程中看到這個可能性，人們對於家具的設計不只滿足功能與需求，而是更多文化的軌跡與脈絡融入在當中，透過設計的轉化，讓文化自然地在當代得以被傳承，進而讓作品發展出更多元的文化價值，我認為這就好像porada的品牌精神『當家具不只是家具、更是一件藝術品』。」
James Liang, the founder of Juyan International Co. Ltd. said, "This is the 8th year of porada international design award. I saw the possibility in the jury review process, the designs of furniture not only meet functions and demands, but also integrate more cultural tracks and contexts. Through the transformation of design, culture can be inherited naturally in the contemporary, and allow the projects to be developed more diverse cultural values. I think this is exactly the brand spirits of porada "Furniture is not just furniture, it is a work of art."

 

 

porada是一支偉大又具有領導性的全球品牌，過去我們站在先人的根基上乘風破浪，而如今成為世界的巨人，我們又能為下一代做些什麼？於是我們舉辦了這個國際設計獎，希望與年輕人共創一個站上全球的平台，讓有才華的年輕設計師可以藉由這個比賽向世界說話，使得家具界與設計界看到他的卓越與創意。
Porada is a great and leading global brand. In the past, we stood on the foundation of our ancestors to ride the wind and waves, but now we became the giant of the world. What can we do for the next generation? Therefore, we organized this international design award, expecting to create a global platform with young people. Offer the chance for talented young designers to speak to the world through this competition, so the design and furniture industry can see their excellence and creative design.
