UDL Partner and Art Director Liao Zicheng was invited to join the jury for the 2025 ZCOOL Top 100 Design List, alongside leading design practitioners from China and abroad to review this year’s submissions.
As one of China’s annual design rankings open to global submissions, the ZCOOL Top 100 Design List combines public nominations, recommendations from professional designers, and platform data analysis in its selection process. In 2025, the program was further updated with a stronger focus on identifying design that is genuinely made “for people” — work that responds to its time, serves everyday life, and opens up new possibilities for the future.
Submissions for the 2025 edition opened globally on April 30. We look forward to joining ZCOOL in recognizing work that demonstrates the value of design across life, business, and the future.
