How did you become a designer?
I'm a designer, born in an artistic family, And my father is Mr Chen Tao Ming, one of the founders of the Ton Fan art Group.
Which emotions do you feel when designing?
I believe that design should not be restrained by style, but challenge past creativities and subvert existing forms and ideas. As such we focus on the comprehensiveness and fluidity of concepts.
What particular aspects of your background shaped you as a designer?
Be brave and pursue your dreams without giving up any opportunities .
What are your advices to designers who are at the beginning of their career?
I have been promoting art through various projects to aspire higher standards of aesthetics and quality. And also provide professional art purchase and consulting services to clients who feel unfamiliar but would like to learn more about art. Our latest venture also extends to artist management and exhibition collaborations with major art galleries to further infuse art into daily life.
You are truly successful as a designer, what do you suggest to fellow designers, artists and architects?
I have strived to embrace challenges since the beginning thus is always pushing boundaries through innovation and creativity.That is a spirit of design !
What is your day to day look like?
I actively seek the opportunity to experiment with a diverse range of assignments. No limited!
How do you know if a product or project is well designed? How do you define good design?
I think the most important task of an interior designer is to thread the needle. Part of it is to enable the homeowners who entrust their homes to us to gain more happiness and strengthen their happiness through our designs. The second part is the relationship between people. In too many cases, we met clients at different times and through different channels. They actually knew each other, and through me, we deepened their relationship with each other. I would like to say to my younger self: Your job is to thread a needle and thread. You must cherish your fate and keep all the threads from falling. Only in this way can the string become longer and longer, and there is no guarantee that you will have bigger surprises. Don’t cut any thread easily.
How do you decide if your design is ready?
Most of the people I get inspiration from are great people from different fields, such as painters, musicians, and novelists.
What is your biggest design work?
Duchamp's urinal, because he opened up the thinking about what art is, and also made it possible for design to enter the art museum.
Would you tell us a bit about your lifestyle and culture?
Go to various places to give lectures and promote my design concepts.
What are your philanthropic contributions to society as a designer, artist and architect?
To break market formula and advocates "post-stylism," because we believe that design should not be restrained by style, but challenge past creativities and subvert existing forms and ideas. As such we focus on the comprehensiveness and fluidity of concepts.
