Following the establishment of offices in Hong Kong, New York, Singapore, Tokyo, and London, CCD has officially launched its Milan office.
[Milan, April 8, 2025] — The global design community once again turns its attention to Milan Design Week. Today, CCD (Cheng Chung Design) and renowned World Class Design Master Marcel Wanders officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement in Milan to jointly establish Marcel Wanders + CCD Affiliated Design Studio in Europe. Positioned as an open design resource integration platform, the collaboration aims to serve the European and global markets by delivering premium design solutions for international clients, empowering brands in their strategic global expansion.
The signing ceremony was attended by Marcel Wanders and Renee Cheng (Partner and Vice President of CCD), alongside global design elites, industry leaders, and media representatives, witnessing this milestone moment.

The collaboration stems from the profound synergy between Joe Cheng and Marcel Wanders—two visionary figures in the design world—who share a deep alignment on the philosophy of "boundless design." From aesthetic harmony to complementary business logic, their dialogue has forged a new paradigm for collaborative design innovation.

"Design is a universal language that transcends geographical and cultural boundaries," remarked Renee Cheng in her keynote speech. "When CCD’s holistic design system meets Marcel Wanders’ signature narrative approach, the result is not just brilliance in individual projects, but a multidimensional platform for design collaboration, brand synergy, and commercial co-creation."
This partnership exemplifies design as a "global language". The establishment of the Marcel Wanders + CCD Affiliated Design Studio not only elevates creative value but also seeks to answer a defining question of our time: How can design serve as a bridge in an era of cultural convergence and globalization?
