On July 3rd, the Red Dot Design Award, which is the most prestigious design competition in the international design field, and one of the top three design awards in the world, announced its list of winners. The work presented by Cai Xudong from the Industrial Design Department of School of Guangdong-Taiwan Industry Science and Technology beat more than 10,000 design works from over 50 countries to win the “Red Dot” award.

Cai Xudong’s work “Shadow” is a multi-functional emergency rescue product. In addition to its simple expansion and transformation, it has many functions—it can be used as a buoyancy aid, life blanket, and a simple sleeping bag, and can be used for emergency rescue, outdoor adventure, and other applications. This work fully embodies the design concept of respecting life and caring for humanity and can save many precious lives.
