今年大會主題展「AROUND」特別邀請了不同設計領域，包含產品設計、平面設計、服裝設計、金工創作、插畫、攝影等，希望參與的創作者回歸到「人」與「生活」的原點，觀察存在於周遭的人事物或現象，發掘更多創新的可能性，將其問題與感受化為靈感源頭，提出多樣性的觀點與見解，藉由23名創作者對於型體、材質、手法、色彩、功能或創意等獨特的品味，讓大眾得以體會到「設計」如何環繞於我們生活之中，成為人與人、人與空間、人與生活的媒介。

此外，在展覽空間設計上，以回字型的概念結合雙樓層的規劃，藉由樓梯的上與下，空間的出與入，形成一個無限循環的展覽空間，民眾觀賞作品的同時，除了享受一種「環繞」的趣味以外，亦可登至高點體驗「被環繞」的感覺。希望藉由精彩的作品與空間，引領民眾體會今年台灣設計師週大會主題「AROUND」的意涵與精神，感受被設計師們獨特思維與創意所擁抱的幸福與樂趣。

This year, for the theme of Taiwan Designers’ Week, “Around”, we specially invited designers from various design fields, including product design, graphic design, fashion design, metalwork design, illustrations, photography, and etc. We hope the participating designers can think in the aspect of “human” and “life”, to observe the phenomenon, events, people, objects among us; to discover more creative possibilities, eventually, turn the problems and sentiments into inspirations, in order to provide the manifold insights and solutions. With the unique taste of forms, materials, color, creativity, and functionality from the designers, it enables visitors to realize how “design” plays a medium of people and people, people and space, people and life. 

Furthermore, the designer was inspired by the form of Chinese character “回”, and applied it to the double floor exhibition space, with the image of ascending and descending the stairs, going in and out the exhibition, it can create an atmosphere of infinite cycle. While visitors are appreciating the design works, not only will they be entertained by the circular environment, but they also can feel the feeling of being surrounded when they ascend to the top floor. We hope by proving the unique exhibition space and design works, visitors can understand the spirit and meaning behind “Around”, meanwhile, being embraced by the unique philosophy and creativity of the designers.
