Globalization and cross-country migration due to education, work, and tourism have increased cross-cultural interactions between various countries. These cross-cultural interactions occasionally create diaspora communities of families from countries with different cultural backgrounds. Advances in transportation, information, and communication technology also make it easier for people from different cultural backgrounds to interact with each other. Facing this situation, education in design colleges needs to equip students to meet the needs of user groups from different cultural backgrounds through cross-cultural design. This study aims to understand the value of cross-cultural design learning. This study uses a case study research method. The case study is about ten cross-cultural interior designs belonging to mixed Japanese and Chinese families, which ten students designed. The things analyzed are (1) how to dialogue between Japanese and Chinese cultures, (2) how to represent the dialogue between the two cultures in a hybrid design, and (3) the values learned from the resulting hybrid designs. The results of creating hybrid designs are lessons on thinking in a middle way, having an open attitude, tolerance, respect, and prioritizing dialogue between cultural differences.
