Congratulations to the Winners!

April 23, 2008 - PRLog -- Rockville, MD --- Blissliving Home is thrilled to announce the winners of the first Blissliving Home Global Design Competition.

The winner is Wang Ying Ying from Beijing China; her interpretation of Blissliving Home’s Autumn Chic trend, a romantic and elusive story for fall, has been formally awarded the first place at the awards gala held at the J.W. Marriott hotel in Beijing on April 17.

Wang Ying Ying was ecstatic to be the first place winner and to attend the awards ceremony. “I am delighted to be given this opportunity to display my work in the public. I am so thankful to Lan e-Mag and Blissliving Home.”

Her design, which she has named “Ko Bo Ya”, is a creation of fluffy and tousled florals in a color story denoting the coming of fall.

“Wang Ying Ying’s design is a superb interpretation of our Autumn Chic trend”, stated Blissliving Home creator Mei Xu. “The design is drawing from nature and fashion with a wonderful feminine attitude and hints of masculinity. Wang Ying Ying’s work is innovative, fashion-forward, and unique - yet very saleable. I foresee a bright future for Wang Ying Ying in this fascinating industry.”

The second place was awarded to Qiang Xiao Ning, an arts student from Xi An, China. The third place winner is Malgorzata Ewa Czuchraj, a designer from Krakow, Poland. All three winners were delighted to attend the awards gala at Beijing’s J.W. Marriott Hotel.

Mei Xu, host of the ceremony and driving force behind the Lan-Blissliving Home Global Design Competition, was thrilled with the interest the competition has generated in the U.S., China and around the globe. “The high number of submissions and the outstanding quality of the designs we received has exceeded our boldest expectations. The high level of participation highlights the importance of design in our industry. Design has the power to convert utilitarian products into objects of desire. Only through design can brands make their product stand out. We were pleased to see how many talented designers are out there, and how committed they are to their work.”

The awards gala was attended by members of the Chinese media including Marie Claire, Good Housekeeping, Modern Weekly, Elle Décor, Cosmo, Woman’s Day and many more, industry influentials such as designer Wu Haiyan and Lan e-Mag Editor in Chief Zhu Yun, and business leaders such as Robert Poole, VP of the US-China-Business Council and Wang Hanjiang, President of the China Chamber of Commerce.

Blissliving Home launched the Global Design Competition in October 2007 in partnership with a prominent Chinese magazine, Lan e-Mag, and the Chinese Academy of Art.  Aspiring designers were invited to create an original design for a new, complete bedding ensemble for Blissliving Home.

Mei Xu and the Blissliving Home and Lan e-Mag team congratulate the winners, and wish all participants the best of luck for their future success.
