From November 7th to 8th, the highly anticipated Asian Healing Design Conference was successfully held in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The conference brought together many leading figures in the design field, including Pan Hongbin, Chen Dejian, Fang Zhenhua, Lin Weier, Jia Wei, Ruan Wentao, and Ke Limin, as well as outstanding designers from all over the country, to discuss how to create healing living spaces for modern people through design language.
With increasing public awareness of physical and mental well-being, “therapeutic design” is becoming a significant trend in the field of space and product design. This conference also focused on this theme, providing attendees with a high-quality platform for exchange and learning. As a brand actively following the forefront of the design industry, Cabello invited several outstanding designers to participate in this industry event, discussing the emotional value of design and the healing power of space with colleagues from all walks of life.
On the first day of the conference, in his presentation “Art to the Left, Design to the Right,” Jia Wei profoundly elucidated that spatial beauty is the application and expression of art and aesthetics. This viewpoint aligns perfectly with Cabernet’s philosophy of creating art-level wall effects. Subsequently, Chen Dejian, through a hotel design case study, pointed out that the future of design depends on the warmth of humanity; designers are not merely builders of space, but also healers of emotions. Ke Limin also pointed out that the core of the healing economy is providing “emotional value.” Ruan Wentao then sparked reflection among the attendees on the healing power of space and its connection to society through interactive discussions. These cutting-edge perspectives resonated strongly with the designers present.
The following day, in his sharing session on “Urban Healing Design,” Professor Pan Hongbin proposed that nature-oriented design should integrate natural elements into the space, transcending traditional functional orientation and shifting towards shaping emotional value. This coincides with the Cabello “Seeking Color” series’ advocacy of drawing inspiration and color from nature. Professor Fang Zhenhua emphasized that design should be people-oriented, establishing emotional resonance with clients. Finally, Professor Lin Weier shared his insights on design and art based on his own experience. Their reflections all pointed to the essence of design: responding to the true nature of life with humanistic warmth, making space a container for emotions, and reaching the deeper value of design.
During the conference, invited designers participated in numerous thematic presentations and design forums, engaging in in-depth exchanges and intellectual discussions on cutting-edge design topics and several top-tier case studies. They expressed that the conference not only broadened their design horizons but also provided them with valuable inspiration and insights into “healing design.”
For Cabernet, participating in this conference was not only a chance to gain insights into trends, but also a confirmation and deepening of its product philosophy. As a high-end art paint brand with over 1,200 distributors and 1,300 retail stores nationwide, serving over one million families , Cabernet has long been committed to integrating health, aesthetics, and emotional value into its product research and development and design.
In terms of environmental protection and health, many of Caparol’s products have obtained authoritative environmental certifications such as French A+, US GreenGuard Gold, Finnish M1, EU REACH, China Green Building Materials, and China Environmental Label, fully demonstrating its high standards in health and environmental protection. According to data surveys by Shangpu Consulting from 2021 to 2023, Caparol’s formaldehyde-free artistic paint has been the top-selling brand in China for three consecutive years, becoming a well-regarded brand among users.
In the realm of color and aesthetics, The Cabral has collaborated with numerous experts to develop four major color systems: “Van Gogh,” “Macaron,” “Morandi,” and “Guochao” (Chinese Chic). Recently, The Cabral has further partnered with Mr. Qiu Qingnian, a representative inheritor of the national intangible cultural heritage of traditional Chinese painting pigments, to explore the colors of traditional Eastern intangible cultural heritage and integrate the millennia-old aesthetic charm of Eastern colors into modern home spaces. This is not merely a modern translation of intangible cultural heritage techniques, but also a connection between the warm, harmonious, and time-honored Eastern colors and the spiritual home of users, creating spaces that possess both artistic value and emotional resonance.
In the field of product quality, Caparol was recently awarded the title of “2025 National ‘Quality Month’ Quality Integrity Initiative Enterprise,” and also won five honors: “National Quality Inspection Trustworthy Product,” “National Consumer Quality Credit Guarantee Product,” “National Leading Enterprise in Coating Industry Quality,” “National Product and Service Quality Integrity Brand,” and “National Advanced Enterprise in Quality Integrity.” These awards demonstrate Caparol’s comprehensive strength and leading position in the field of artistic coatings from multiple dimensions, and are also strong evidence of the dual recognition of Caparol by authoritative institutions and the market.
This participation in the Asian Healing Conference represents a deep exploration and reflection by Cabral in the field of “healing design.” Moving forward, Cabral will continue to deepen its research into the relationship between color, materials, and spatial emotion, actively participate in industry exchanges, and integrate more forward-thinking design concepts into product innovation, creating truly healthy, aesthetically pleasing, and emotionally healing home spaces for users.
