About
CDR (Chinese Designers’ Region) is a creative community based in London. It aims at promoting Chinese contemporary design internationally and raising the profile of brilliant Chinese designers especially those who are pursuing their design career in UK. Following the direction of building up a network of resource and support, CDR dedicates its efforts to create an experimental and cross-disciplinary platform through both formal activities (exhibitions and lectures) and informal events (meetings and parties) to prompt discussions and dialogues between Chinese designers and the international design world. Founders include William Hailiang Chen (Architecture), Lei Bao (Graphic Design), Ann Xiao (Animation), and Shanshan Quan (Visual Culture).
