The Daikin Youth Design Competition 2025 reached its peak on 20 November at the Daikin Malaysia Customer Care Centre, bringing together young designers to present their works inspired by this year’s theme, “Echoes of the Heart.”
Hay Wen Xuan from Diploma in Interior Design and Yap Jet Yee from Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Interior Architecture and Design participated with energy and dedication, presenting thoughtful and original design concepts.
Both students impressed the panel of industry judges with the originality, narrative depth, and emotional resonance of their projects. Their works earned them places among the Top 10 Finalists in the Residential and Commercial categories. In recognition of their achievements, Wen Xuan and Jet Yee were each awarded the Bronze Award in their respective categories, stressing their creativity, passion, and ability to translate heartfelt ideas into practical design solutions.
Hay Wen Xuan shared, “This competition reminded me that design is more than visuals. It is a language of emotion — Echoes of the Heart pushed me to create with sincerity, and I’m truly grateful that my work could resonate with others.” Yap Jet Yee added, “Being part of Daikin Youth Design Competition 2025 taught me the importance of staying authentic in a digital era. Winning bronze is an honour, but the real achievement is learning to design with purpose and heart.”
The event concluded successfully, leaving students motivated to continue designing with intention and emotional impact.
