 Taiwan inventions and designs shine on world stage
Taiwan was crowned the biggest winner among 15 participating countries at the 2010 Invention and New Product Exposition (INPEX) held in the U.S. According the award list released June 19, Taiwan’s delegation garnered 24 gold, 25 silver and five bronze awards, as well as seven special awards. The Taiwan delegation to INPEX this year included 42 members with 56 entries.
Apart from the INPEX event in Pittsburgh, Taiwan also stood out at two other top invention shows—the iENA trade fair in Nuremburg, Germany and the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, Switzerland. Taiwan obtained 26 gold awards at the iENA trade fair in late 2009, and 28 more golds at the Geneva event this April.
The National Taiwan Craft Research and Development Institute presented the Yii design brand at the prestigious Milan International Furniture Fair this year and received widespread acclaim from master designers and major media from around the world.
The spirit of the Yii brand is rooted in “nature, cultivation and sustainability.” In the Cocoon Plan collection inspired by silkworms, for instance, Rock Wang and Chen Kao-ming developed a series of cocoon-shaped sofas and stools made from bamboo and silk. Meanwhile, the Brick Plan series and the exquisitely lacquered “Calligraphy Cupboard” showcase extraordinary creativity by combining Taiwan’s unique traditional elements with sophisticated craftsmanship.
The word “Yii” is derived from three Chinese characters with identical pronunciation, referring to original design, exquisite craftwork, and the ever-changing and unchanging laws of nature—altogether representing artistic creativity and skillfulness.
