@epill
So you are really liking China, from what I see...
Question for you mate, do you see any progress in design for their internal market? A few years ago only the exporting industries looked half reasonable.- hmm tough question, since i am almost 24/7 in the factories solely working on my develops..e-pill
- i think asking mydo or jevad or ephix that you will get a better answer.. but..e-pill
- i will say that technology has come a long way from everything being made by hande-pill
- or cut and sew by hand.. now they have nice cad machines all doing it 3D printers and moree-pill
- getting developments completed today takes less than half the time it used to.e-pill
- not really sure how to answer the internal part as i am an outsider..e-pill
- the city i am in is rather small so i still feel like im back in china from last decade..e-pill
- in the big cities like hong kong, taipei, shanghai, beijing im sure the progress in design is high!!e-pill
- while the other large cities like shenzhen, dong guan, fuzhou are mainly factory cities..e-pill
- design yes, but a different aspect of it.. since its just factories.. of all kinds..e-pill
- from what i know. they are still very keen on copying everything. or just design them cute and childish. that's a sure sell. or have a pop star's face on it.pango
- ... sell. or have a pop star's face on it. it is getting better though. but the general public (china) just don't buy what we called design in western society.pango
- ...design in western society. Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia on the other hand is really booming (IMO). Taiwan has semi good design scene but highly influenced by japanese style.pango
- oh i went a bit side tracked...
depends on the city your at. ShangHai and HongKong definitely has a pretty good design scene.pango - just realized sentence got cut off... taiwan has semi good design scene but highly influenced by japanese style.pango
- its the same in any big city asia or elsewhere, individual identity shines with design n creativitye-pill
- however in the smaller cities struggling to have any identity there is lacking lots of design.e-pill
- the factory that does our production knocked us off directly. they use our designs..e-pill
- our logo, our hardware, our materials and even our hangtags.. their name is ..e-pill
- SWISSWIN.. while we are SWISSGEAR. they sell in china only and the parent company-e-pill
- Wenger cant do a thing about it..because this is china and design is out the door.e-pill
