Founded in London in 2013, China Design Centre (CDC) was established by a mission-driven team of architects and designers with a global network. Prompted by the stereotype of ‘made in China’, we are dedicated to sharing the original and pioneering  designs from Chinese creatives, creating an innovative platform between China and  UK to drive value creation, and providing professional services to facilitate the deep collaboration.

We showcase the unique design vision emerging from a country with a long history and rich culture, whose dynamic economy is generating a new wave of talent in architecture, arts and crafts, furniture, jewellery and fashion. We showcase the best of contemporary Chinese design, whilst presenting the new Chinese aesthetics and lifestyle. Fostering the cross-cultural exchange of ideas, knowledge and expertise, our platform is the ideal place to explore collaborative opportunities between designers from China, UK and the rest of the world.

China is at a crucial stage in its current development, where economic growth and rapid social transformation is generating a growing awareness of cultural identity. Creativity is seen as the key to unlocking a new realm of social and commercial possibilities. This has led to an increasing desire in China not only to seek out and learn from the world but also to share its own distinctive creative vision in global partnerships.

With professionalism and extensive knowledge of Chinese and British culture and the design industry, CDC have successfully accomplished numerous prestigious innovative projects connecting the East and West during the past 6 years. CDC is recognised as one of the most influential platforms for promoting Chinese design overseas. Contact us for partnership opportunities.
