Globalization has brought people all over the world closer. Contemporary designers have been thinking the issue of how to retain differentiation in regional cultural characteristics under the trend of universal design for a long time. Taiwanese designers have intended to introduce Taiwanese design to Europe through exposure at international conferences and exhibitions. They have hoped that by conducting the dialogue between modern thinking and design features of different countries, unique cultural value will be created. It is believed that this will not only take into account the development and sustainability of local culture, but also build up new horizons as well as fun with creativity by breaking away from barriers of modernism. The future will see a new era truly witnessing synchronous development of globalization and regional features. Taiwan has always promoted Taiwan aesthetics.
