Envoys to China visit Xiamen to help the World Heritage Convention

Published

on

The World Heritage Conference is about to be held. Fujian is ready to organize the conference at a high level to better show the world the Chinese style and tell the Fujian story. At the invitation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 22 foreign envoys were in Fujian from July 13th to 17th. They went to Xiamen, Longyan, Ningde, Fuzhou and other places to visit the Gutian conference site, inspect Ningde’s Xiaqi village, etc., to understand the economic and social development of our province. 22 foreign envoys arrived in Fujian. At the first stop, they came to Xiamen, known as the “Sea Garden”. The envoys admired the achievements made in the development of the Xiamen Special Economic Zone.

Visit the Yundang Academy to understand the practice and results of ecological governance and protection

After getting off the plane on July 14, the envoys went straight to Yundang Academy to learn about the practices and results of the ecological management and protection of Yundang Lake. Somalia’s ambassador to China, Awale Ali Kurane, also took notes seriously. The comprehensive management of Yundang Lake has promoted the black and smelly waters and the extinct fish and shrimps of Yundang Lake to become the “Xiamen City Meeting Room” with clear waters and green shores and the fragrance of birds and flowers. It has become a good place for citizens to relax. “I really appreciate Xiamen’s achievements in balancing economic development and environmental protection, which are also closely related to Xi Jinping’s thoughts on ecological civilization.” Samoa’s ambassador to China, Tapsaray Toomata, said Xiamen’s experience It is worth learning and learning from all countries. He who has been to Xiamen before has witnessed the changes in Xiamen with his own eyes: “The city is getting more and more beautiful, and its development is getting better and better. I also heard that Xiamen is an immigrant city. I believe that it can attract so many people and it is naturally unique. Charm.”

Set foot on Gulangyu Island and revel in the unique cultural atmosphere here

Afterwards, the envoys took the “Lujiang 99” passenger ship to visit the scenery on both sides of the Lujiang River and were excited about their upcoming visit to Gulangyu, the Museum of Architecture of the World. The Minister of the Syrian Embassy in China, Bruhan Al Khatib, has not put down his phone, and recorded video after video, “I will send these videos to my friends in various countries to let them know what a beautiful city Xiamen is. .” Set foot on Gulangyu Island, this is a cultural tour of Xiamen. Visiting the Gulangyu Historical and Cultural Exhibition Hall, Shuzhuang Garden, walking through the streets to the homes of local residents to listen to family concerts… The compact and substantial itinerary allowed the envoys to fully indulge in the unique cultural atmosphere of Gulangyu. “This afternoon was very beautiful. I fully felt Xiamen’s great emphasis on the protection of cultural heritage and its unremitting efforts in the inheritance of historical and cultural heritage.” Shang Mugan, Minister of the Malaysian Embassy in China, said that Xiamen is an important place for cultural heritage protection.

The charm of Xiamen is everywhere

Private envoys, just like many ordinary tourists who come to Xiamen, also like to “take freely”, but compared to other tourists, they are more obsessed with digging Xiamen’s local culture. For example, knowing that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in Yundang Academy has a good meaning in traditional Chinese culture, the envoys named it “Lucky tree” and immediately triggered a wave of group photos. They appreciate Xiamen’s rapid development while retaining its own characteristics. There were also some interesting details at the scene. For example, the Mauritian ambassador to China Wang Chunwan wore a Tang suit, which stood out among the envoys. As a descendant of Chinese descent, he has a natural kindness to China, and this is also his fourth visit to Fujian. He said that Xiamen makes him feel particularly cordial because he has the same blue sea and blue sky as Mauritius. And Tapsaray Toomata, who has been to Xiamen many times, misses Xiamen’s sunshine and seafood in his heart. He said that Xiamen is one of his favorite Chinese cities. The moment he landed from rainy Beijing to sunny Xiamen, he really felt very good, “and I can eat Xiamen’s seafood again.”

ELFBAR’s ELFX and ELFA Pod Systems Win German Design Award and CMF Design Awards

Published

on

Four reusable devices recognised by two international juries for refined industrial design

United States, 29th May 2026, Global vape brand ELFBAR said today that four products in its reusable pod system lineup have been honoured by the German Design Award and the International CMF Design Awards. The recognised devices are the ELFX Mini, ELFX 2, ELFA Master Stein and the ELFA pod system.

ELFBAR's ELFX and ELFA Pod Systems Win German Design Award and CMF Design Awards
 

The German Design Award, organised by the German Design Council, named the ELFX Mini and the ELFA Master Stein as 2026 winners. The International CMF Design Awards, which evaluates excellence in colour, material and finish, recognised the ELFA Master Stein and the ELFX 2. ELFA Master Stein and ELFX Mini are now available in Germany.

The awarded lineup

The four products sit at the centre of ELFBAR’s reusable portfolio for adult smokers and ex-smokers looking for an alternative to combustible tobacco. The range spans compact entry devices through to the ELFX 2, which goes on sale in Germany in June 2026.

Each device shares a restrained visual language. Casing materials are selected for grip and longevity. Colour palettes are subdued. Branding is kept small. The shapes are contoured for one-handed use, and the surface finishes are tuned to feel calm in the hand. The ELFA Master Stein, named after the stein vessels of European drinking culture, uses a textured casing that references the heritage of stoneware and glass.

On the design approach

“Good design should feel confident, not loud,” said Becky Liu, Head of Industrial Design at ELFBAR. “With ELFX and ELFA, we focus on a clean-cut form, precision, and a calm material touch-feel to bring an elegant and intuitive user experience.”

The recognition follows a multi-year effort inside ELFBAR’s industrial design studio to move the brand’s product language away from the bright, single-use silhouettes that defined the early years of the vaping category. The company has been steadily replacing those formats in its lineup with longer-lived devices intended to look and feel more like other categories of mature consumer hardware.

Engineering details

Beyond the look of each device, the awarded products share a set of practical features that ELFBAR describes as central to its reusable design approach.

Pods are secured magnetically and click into place without alignment fuss. E-liquid levels are visible through windows on the casing, making refill timing intuitive. Status displays communicate battery and pod information at a glance. Airflow and power settings are adjustable on the relevant models, allowing users to shape the draw to their preference. Modular construction lets pods and cartridges be replaced rather than discarded, extending the useful life of each device.

For the ELFX 2 specifically, the upcoming launch introduces the new ELFX POD 2.0 cartridge generation. The generation adds a child lock, an upgraded airway designed for richer flavour, and a 5A leakproof system intended to keep e-liquid contained under everyday pocket and travel use.

The German context

The design recognition lands in ELFBAR’s largest European market. According to internal data, the brand leads the German pod system category with about 60 percent market share. Prefilled and refillable products — including the ELFX and ELFA pod systems and the ELFLIQ e-liquid range — now account for around 80 percent of the company’s shipments to Germany. Single-use formats, once a defining part of the category, no longer drive the brand’s German business.

European regulators have meanwhile sharpened their focus on disposable vapes and on packaging waste. Brands that can demonstrate genuine reusability, supported by replaceable components and durable design, are increasingly being separated from those that cannot. The awarded ELFX and ELFA products are positioned within that shift.

What comes next

ELFBAR said it plans to introduce the award-winning ELFX and ELFA designs to other European markets in due course, with the ELFX 2 leading the next wave from Germany in June 2026. Specific dates, pricing and channel availability will be confirmed market by market.

OVIOS x Studio F. A. Porsche Debuts AERO EVO on the Nasdaq Tower in Times Square

Published

on

United States, 29th May 2026, – The Evolution of Living in Style Arrives at the Crossroads of the World

NEW YORK, May 2026 — Global furniture brand OVIOS officially unveiled its latest collaborative masterpiece, AERO EVO, created together with Studio F. A. Porsche, on the iconic Nasdaq Tower in New York’s Times Square. The appearance marks a milestone moment for OVIOS as the brand continues to bring elevated contemporary living experiences to a global audience.

Displayed across one of the world’s most recognizable digital landmarks, AERO EVO represents far more than a furniture launch. It symbolizes the convergence of modern luxury living, aerodynamic artistry, and German precision engineering — all expressed through a new generation of sculptural furniture design.

Inspired by the concept “The Shape of Air,” AERO EVO was designed around the invisible flow of movement and fluid dynamics. Every curve, contour, and proportion reflects a philosophy of purity and functional elegance. The result is a seating experience that feels simultaneously futuristic, calming, and deeply human.

OVIOS x Studio F. A. Porsche AERO EVO limited collection living space

“The collaboration between OVIOS and Studio F. A. Porsche is not simply about creating furniture,” said the OVIOS design team. “It is about engineering a new lifestyle language — one where comfort, precision, and emotional design coexist seamlessly.”

At the core of the collaboration lies the shared vision of “The Evolution of Style.” OVIOS brings its signature philosophy of Living in Style together with the uncompromising functional aesthetics of Studio F. A. Porsche, creating a collection that transcends conventional home furnishing.

The AERO EVO collection will be strictly limited to 919 pieces worldwide, with each piece individually serialized and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. The number “919” represents the relentless pursuit of refinement, symbolizing hundreds of iterations dedicated to achieving aesthetic and structural perfection.

“A single silhouette, redefined 919 times,” the campaign states. “Because Living in Style is not a destination, but a relentless pursuit of perfect balance.”

The Nasdaq debut also reflects OVIOS’s accelerating international growth and increasing influence in the premium home furnishings category. Known for blending accessible luxury with modern functionality, the brand has built a strong following across North America through its indoor and outdoor furniture collections.

With AERO EVO, OVIOS enters a new chapter — one that pushes beyond traditional furniture design and into the realm of emotional architecture, immersive living, and timeless modern aesthetics.
