IDA Awards Ceremony | Mr. Li Sheng, Founder of Asia Design Week, Invited to Attend the 19th IDA Awards Gala

During the 2026 Bangkok Design Week, Mr. Li Sheng, Founder of Asia Design Week, was invited to attend the 19th IDA (International Design Awards) Gala as a jury representative. He also served as a presenter, conferring honor awards upon the winning designers.

This year's awards ceremony was grandly held at ICONSIAM, a landmark riverside complex in Bangkok, Thailand. As one of Southeast Asia's most influential high-end commercial and cultural landmarks, ICONSIAM, with its international positioning and artistic atmosphere, provided a highly symbolic stage for the event. The ceremony brought together top designers, jury representatives, and industry leaders from multiple countries and regions around the world to collectively witness of the year's design achievements.

The IDA International Design Awards, founded in the United States, is one of the world's most influential comprehensive design awards, covering multiple categories including architectural design, interior design, product design, graphic design, and fashion design. IDA is dedicated to discovering and honoring innovative and design works from around the globe, promoting international exchange and development within the design industry.

As one of the IDA jury representatives, Mr. Li Sheng not only participated in this year's professional evaluation process but also presented awards to the winners in the Product Design category at the ceremony. Mr. Zhang Zhejun, Deputy Secretary-General of the Asia Design Week Organizing Committee, also attended the event, engaging in exchanges with designers from various countries present. During their conversations at the venue, they noted that the power of Asian design is continuously rising on the global stage, and cross-cultural exchange and cooperation will become a significant trend in future design development. Asia Design Week will also continue to build international platforms, promoting deeper linkages between Asian and global design organizations.

This invitation to attend the IDA Awards ceremony further demonstrates the influence of Asia Design Week in the international design field and lays a solid foundation for future cooperation between Asia Design Week, international awards, and design week platforms.
