From Bito Studio in Taipei, Taiwan: “The concept of Golden Pin Design Award this year is ‘Gala @ 23:59’ which raises awareness about the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
“Bito wants this opening film to inspire the design community to take urgent action for sustainability by following #SDGs.
“We believe that positivity is essential to overcoming this apocalyptic challenge we all face together, and therefore he calls it a “Gala”, linking it together with the time “23:59” to signify the last moment before a new dawn.
“The bluebird is like a human, undertaking the pressure by severe changes on earth. 23:59 is ticking, do designers really have a chance to change this?”
The work is rendered in a very wide format, we suggest watching full-screen:
