Designer of the Day Interview

4 May 2020

In 2010, I led the local villagers of Pingtian together to open a studio in the village, about a dozen people in scale, they insisted on manual production, and the layers of craftsmanship were meticulous and solid. From gathering into bamboo joints, planing into bamboo slices, subdividing bamboo filaments, weaving into bamboo weaving utensils, to deburring to mildew and insect control in the later stage. Dao Dao's manual operation, Pingtian's bamboo weaving products are all made by the village's masters with decades of bamboo weaving experience. I knit with these masters every day, that's when I first started designing.

Out of interest and enthusiasm in art, l entered into college to study art.However with-in-depth study,I found art not aiming at solving problems as design, thus changed the major to design.But,as far as I know,art and design,of course,have something in common.For example,the imagination required by art is also most important for design.

Human science and technology or humanization of science and technology may not be a style, making design closer to people and ignoring design is a design method.

It is best to have calm after excitement.

Guangzhou, China, before we tried our best to get close to our traditional culture, then we found that we needed to stay away to get closer, so-called

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lushan, only because I am in this mountain". Only when I look at my mountain from other mountains can I be more real. The current situation in China, from the perspective of various industries, is full of opportunities and the design is at the right time.

We have paid close attention to some industries and hope to do some industrial design to lead design companies to the development path of enterprises.

Sincerity and love may be the panacea for career development.

Real design is something to be proud of, but we will face many fake designs without realizing it.

Imagination and criticism, ideal and reality, persistence and compromise coexist.

Long-term research, calm judgment and honest implementation will lead to good results in design. Good design is the design that hides the design the deepest.

A thinking process is designed that can guide the design itself to requirements.

Designers are equivalent to the director of a movie for products. They have social responsibilities both materially and spiritually, minimize waste of resources materially and advocate sustainable consumption spiritually.

Design Legend Interview

4 May 2020

Our team members are all graduated from art and design colleges and universities, with academic qualifications ranging from specialized to undergraduate.

We make design plans according to the research and judgment of the industry market. Because of the professional reasons and love of design, we have become designers.

It is all because of choice, a choice without regret.

We mainly design luminous products. If we have the opportunity to go further, we want to do some format design combining lighting and energy industries.

Sincerity and love may be the panacea for career development.

The difference lies in why the design.

Long-term research, calm judgment and honest implementation will lead to good results in design. Good design is the design that hides the design the deepest.

A good design conforms to the goal specially determined at the beginning of its design. The design has the logic of antecedents and consequences. A good design is the realization process of this logic. A design loyal to the goal reflects the value. This design is worth investing in.

Design an industrial model, specially designed for the replacement of industries.

We gave up some interesting design angles found in traditional handicrafts because it was not in the same direction as where we went.

This is totally something like echoes, but we need to stand further and higher to look at what we are doing now and criticize it.

Some Japanese designs have inspired us, but the inspiration given to us by the design circle is far less than that given to other categories, such as science and philosophy.

Some Japanese designers have unique vision.

We exercise our ability and patience to find opportunities from ordinary times. The idea of magnetic attraction linkage adjustment in this design comes from the most common observation, but it is very suitable and great here!

Think like a philosopher, study like a scientist, and then step by step with down-to-earth feet.

It may be a kind of craftsman.

Design is a process of thinking and realization with clear goals. First, it is close to people's needs, second, it is close to industry and commerce, and then it is close to other things, such as thoughts and feelings.

Teamwork is very important.

Different angles of thinking and a mentality that can compromise for the actual situation.

Create a wider design space.

Go to the show through normal.

The project will become more and more exciting. It is cross-industry and worth looking forward to!

New designs keep popping up.

Don't listen to what you say and watch what you do. It doesn't matter who it is. What matters is whether the design is worth looking forward to.

Sincere design, good design.

Study a new industry and find some exciting angles.

This design is very satisfactory to us. If you have used it, you will know that it is worthy of pride and satisfaction.

Design more for the industry, not for the sake of design.

It is bound to move closer to the industry, and designers are bound to become a profession in the industry.

There are both lengths and lengths. We hope that the design will be presented at the right time and the market needs it.

Industry research.

Questioning and denying.

Although good design may guide the trend, it is only a guide.

Technology is the foundation of design.

Basic design software is used.

The design of the final scene is related to these factors, which serve the use of the scene.

Yes, we are doubting ourselves.

Yes, design must be multidisciplinary.

Basic scientific researchers or some craftsman with special expertise.

Philosophical books and scientific magazines.

Consider the problem in an all-round way and sort out feasible clues.

Einstein, many questions need to be asked to him.

This is only a kind of recognition. There are many forms of recognition.

Black, Quiet Corner, Vegetarian, Autumn, New Technology and New Materials Conference, Some Brands Bravely Developing Application Design from Basic Research, such as Huawei and DuPont.

It was found that design really did not belong to a strict industry.

The design can be sold and loved. Attention to the ordinary from an unusual angle can bring new senses.

No, it's more artistic.

Design will become very common, as common as a thousand years ago, and even more common in a thousand years.

We have more stable channels of understanding than I do our online shop.

Designer Interview

Out of interest and enthusiasm in art, l entered into college to study art.However with-in-depth study,I found art not aiming at solving problems as design, thus changed the major to design.But,as far as I know,art and design,of course,have something in common.For example,the imagination required by art is also most important for design.

PTLIFE is an innovative company focusing on luminous products design, with a creative and enthusiastic team of designers and engineers . It hopes to design and manufacture the products combining the modern science and technology with nature and traditional culture,organically and perfectly,using which people can enjoy the convenience of science and technology ,feel the gracious calm from nature and touch textures of the nation’s traditional craft.

Design is an opening and a solution. Design is the result of a dialectical thinking process. Design makes the past newer, the present better and the future have a way to follow.

I like to design works that are not paid attention to in daily life but have great room for improvement. I like to think from different angles.

I like simple and powerful works that really touch the essence of needs and conform to subconscious habits.

A thinking process is designed that can guide the design itself to requirements.

Natural materials and comfortable experience are combined with photoelectric information technology to make science and technology present as human beings.

Finding a new angle and entering the early stage of a design project are the most passionate.

Pay great attention to whether the design pays attention to the nature of the demand. For example, lighting is sometimes not for brighter, but for darker.

It is best to have calm after excitement.

After a good design is implemented, when you see the satisfactory results, you will have a kind of astonished divine emotion: this is what God guided me! ?

Try to think thoroughly, practice the operation, often stand on their own opposition, it is easier to make the design successful.

Whether it is really satisfied with the use, and whether it is really liked by people.

Designers are equivalent to the director of a movie for products. They have social responsibilities both materially and spiritually, minimize waste of resources materially and advocate sustainable consumption spiritually.

The design field has been changing all the time. It changes according to the changes of various industries. The future of design lies in industrial design.

We have an exhibition in Shanghai in September 2019 and an exhibition in Shanghai in September this year, every year.

Design inspiration comes from participation and careful observation of life. Constantly changing angles and learning different knowledge are ways to maintain imagination and creativity.

Human science and technology or humanization of science and technology may not be a style, making design closer to people and ignoring design is a design method.

Guangzhou, China, before we tried our best to get close to our traditional culture, then we found that we needed to stay away to get closer, so-called

"I don't know the true face of Mount Lushan, only because I am in this mountain". Only when I look at my mountain from other mountains can I be more real. The current situation in China, from the perspective of various industries, is full of opportunities and the design is at the right time.

We will try our best to choose companies with complementary and technical backgrounds to cooperate.

Adhere to your unique development path and choose designers who can persist and dare to break through to cooperate.

Research Industry-Narrow Scope-Find the Right Point-Design Intervention

Imagination and criticism, ideal and reality, persistence and compromise coexist.

Real design is something to be proud of, but we will face many fake designs without realizing it.

The negative is that you will experience many failed designs and know many failed designers. The positive is that we are still full of hope and stick to it.

Keep thinking and always doubt.

Cognition of essence and handling skills of beauty misguided and trivial matters.

Common design software will be used, but it is more important to know that tools are only tools, not the design itself.

Design is a work that is inseparable from life, so design is a part of life, but the design task of project initiation requires strict time planning and management.

There are both advantages and disadvantages. Some designs last for several years, because the implementation of the design cannot be too advanced or lagging behind. The design needs the support of the market.

Is that the only way?

Recognizing that design must be attached to the industry, design is a job in the industrial chain.

We hope that our customers are directly from thousands of households. We do not pursue the individuality of design, but the universality.

I like works that skillfully solve essential problems, because ingenuity requires wisdom, while seeing essence requires philosophy.

We have paid close attention to some industries and hope to do some industrial design to lead design companies to the development path of enterprises.

Everyone is limited and must work in a team.

The design currently in progress is about the improvement of traditional conventional products, hoping to find market space and improve the way to solve the problem within the existing scope.
