In 2016, Kim Buck, who is regarded as the most prestigious Danish contemporary jewelry designer, visited Nanjing and designed the "Golden Joy Card" inspired by the traditional gold foil craft, which contains golden blessings and surprises behind each piece of gold foil. He also used the paulownia wood, a cultural symbol of Nanjing, and gold foil as the materials to condense into the golden "Light of Nanjing". A small brooch carrying the designer's "ideal of gold leaf" and "paulownia complex" is reflected on the wearer's chest like a flowing spot of light, just like a bit of golden light worth remembering in life.


JUJU WANG designed a unique and innovative gold foil screen, using the lightness of gold foil to make it flow slowly with the liquid in each fan leaf, flowing under the light; Dutch designer Tjeerd Veehoven designed a floating installation of two hydrogen balloons inspired by the glazed pagoda of the Great Reward Temple, called "Heaven and Earth", an abstract tower meant to make gold as a precious metal take off in the lightest image.



The products of Jinling Gold Foil have been exported to more than 40 countries and regions, including the United States, Japan, Europe and Southeast Asia, etc. The export volume of gold foil accounts for more than 70% of the national gold foil exports, and once became an inspection-free product. In recent years, Jinling Gold Foil has increased the development of deep-processed gold foil products and cultural and creative products, and the thousand-year old non-traditional heritage has also embarked on the international stage.
In July 2015, the "Nanjing Week" of Milan Expo was held in Milan, and five major intangible cultural heritage works, namely Jinling Gold Foil, Jinling Folding Fan, Xingyao Sand Ware, Nanjing Velvet Flower and Blue Printed Fabric Printing and Dyeing Technique, were presented one after another. The cultural and creative products, business gifts, home gifts, gold leaf paintings and gold leaf food products exhibited by Jinling Gold Foil were all appreciated and admired by visitors.


In September 2017, Ma Cong led the Fuyou design team at the London Design Week 100% Design exhibition, bringing 15 large and small screens, incorporating double-sided embroidery, cloud brocade, lacquer engraving, gold leaf, wood grain gold, mortise and tenon and dovetail, presenting a thousand years of Chinese handicraft skills, and was praised as "the most beautiful work in the entire exhibition".
