Design Legend Interview
29 September 2018
I born in a traditional, middle-class Taiwanese family.
The country is not developing right now, the atmosphere is stressful and filled with depression.
I choose to get into design filed because I feel things strongly.
At first, I didn't know what is design but I like to find the relationship between objects and human. That how it is started.
The education I would talk about Shih Chien University more.
It's an experimental design institution.
The Industrial department has a different specialty instructor, such as physiologic, sociologic, philosophy and of course with the ID/UI/UX/Mechanism.
So, it's an integrated design school to let students explore their mind.

The reason that I become a designer because I feel things, read stories, create stories. Exploring the feeling of emotion, sensation, conscious. Finding the stories beyond the object, people, connection. Creating the stories of the object, relation. If I'm not a designer, I might be a movie director, writer, filmmaker.
Become a designer isn't the most important thing. Be a integrity, decent person is the main purpose. I'm a designer, and I'm not perfect so I put the effort of myself to make design driven by integrity, the decent mindset.
I wish I could create more objects like furniture, living electronic products which are stayed with people but in the silence way.
The legend just a title. Be true to yourself.
A good designer has good technique, mindset, vision.
A great designer has those things, but it has more social consciousness as a dignity, decent person.

Bestseller products make you become a good designer to make the profit, fame. Make the statement of social consciousness, culture could bring you to the higher level. But forgot those levels or steps first, be a good person first.
For finance, it earns the profit.
For humanity, it brings vision.

Bouroullec brothers, Naoto Fukasawa, Jasper Morrison, Keiji Ashizawa, Tomoko Azumi, Konstantin Grcic, Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby.
In this contemporary era, I select "Serif TV". Most of the electronic brands are pursuing make an ultra flat one. But the Bouroullec brothers gave it a new language of TV. The TV likes go back to 19 century which has a standard, could put something above it. The form doesn't look like electronic products, it is more like a furniture at home. To me, this is an impressive design for me.
Ning collection, the way that conserves the aesthetic of Chinese object.
If I'm not a designer, I might be a movie director, writer, filmmaker.
As a methodology, in the future, many people will get involved in the design field. For an architect, designer, an artist still needs to learn the aesthetic, history of arts and design, Human science. For nontraditional design people, the design means not only make thing functional, beautiful, logical. The design will be a methodology to explore their mind as a tool which helps people brainstorming, reviewing the results. Then, if people still love to get into the traditional design filed they still need to take the process to know aesthetic, history of arts and design, Human science.
My family, instructor, friends, lover.
Be true to yourself.
Lie to yourself
Show the true things from yourself.
Furniture, because it's the closest object with human life, body.
It brings the memories to your life.
It brings the memories to your life.

There's no need to do it, just put mutual respect to each other.
By carefully research, compassion, conscious.
Use industrial design method to solve environmental problem.
None, the process of cooperation make me satisfy.
Brings more story to the public.
More and more un-general for everyone, pretty sad thing.
The wording, writing the keyword of the perspective.
Silently integrity.
It depends on the situation.
But I would say, design set the trends in the start. Then we have human objects so we can define the trends from the human objects.

Dahong Wang.
iF design award, Red dot design award.

Some young designers wish that I could give them some advice, but I just too nervous so I couldn't speak out any words.
The expectation from my friends, instructor, mentor, family. That pushes me to dedicate myself to improve myself.
No.
There are some people who have a mindset that I'm born to be somebody.
But I'm not this kind of person.

Even our conscious become digital, but we need to design the way let people feel tangible things in an intangible environment.
Nope, the questions are great.

The last exhibition was held in 2016 in the old town of Taipei city.If I find the producer or brand to cooperate with, the next exhibition I hope could be held in 2020. Because the design needs times to deal with the cooperator.
My inspiration is following by feeling. It might be an extraordinary landscape, a part of a relationship, a sense of emotion, a paragraph of books, new perspective of technologies.
It's hard to justify my design style by myself. I love the objects which creates an elegant, tranquil atmosphere, therefore dedicate myself to make objects in a peaceful, calm characteristic.But if I design conceptual design, I make the design become more vivid, full fill with emotion, experimental.
I live in Taiwan which has the variety of culture. Taiwan has the multiple cultural heritage of Chinese, Japanese, Netherland, aboriginal. Besides many cities are transforming fiercely from traditional to modern, from local to international. Therefore, the place where I live has the energy of living "Changing for the future, Remain the fact of history".
Listen, have a conversation, listen to what they really need, share my perspective and vision, and conversation.Like, treat to your lover.
Guild designers to know more about the companies. Like, find your lover and let him/she know more about yourself.
1.Conversation.The conversation is the priority to make clear for the client and designer himself.2.Research. The research is the most important thing to explore the view, perspective.3.Prototyping. Prototyping through sketching, making objects, rendering to see the results of the idea and improve it.4. Creating. Find the real thing and create a new story for the design.
Couch, Bed, the grip of the door, door, kitchen.
A day starts with a cup of tea and a light breakfastA day end at the gym.Between of those, checking the design website for daily updates and grab a magazine or book for inspiration.Then, work with my colleague and friends, discuss our projects and share our new ideas and perspective of design.
Try, fell, learn from failure. Be courage, decent, integrity for your design.
For a designer who would like to start a career. The positive is that you will need to take responsibility for how to run a business. The negatives that you might need to take part in a studio, cooperation first to learn how to run a business. Then integrate those experience and decide which kind of designer you would like to be first, and decide what you want to be in the future.
Curve needs to be done in G2 at least.
Feeling, thinking, reflecting.Before you create something, feel, think, reflect the ideas are more important than just making things.
Rhino, Keyshot, Vray, the lectures on the youtube, books.
In this time, the design needs to know that beyond the design what things are also important to you?The family? Healthy status? Exercise? Reading? Learning?. Then, you need to put them into your schedule first, then the rest of the times should be put yourself all into the design case.
