Designer Interview
20 October 2019
Actually, my original degree is English Literature, after I found out I have great passion towards interior design, I then studied abroad and obtained the BFA degree as Interior Architecture and Design in Academy of Art University in San Francisco, USA.
I founded Studio One in 2017, my company emphasize on the method of form follows function. We believe design is a solution towards better living, so we always try to achieve that kind of principle to applied onto our projects.
A solution towards better living, and its role as a bridge to connect human being and environment.
A project with simple forms yet arouse people's sensational perceptions towards ordinary objects, a phycological approach to effect people's life. The essential things in our life is sometimes invisible to our eyes.
Always eyes on next project...
Usually started form studying their company background, their ideologies and principles towards the brand, through the conversations and discussions, tried to find out their needs and problems they were facing currently and came up with design solution.
I like the material contrast. For example, in the Molding Space retail project, I adopted the rustic concrete columns to make contrast with the fine white cubics, boards and client's sophisticated handmade leather product.
When client have a specific goal and let me adopt my own way to present it.
The abilities to arise sensational perceptions and introduce my interpretation of aesthetic value towards a space.
Calmness and excitness at the same time.
Satisfied.
a successful design for me is to solve the client's needs and also achieve my aesthetic value.
For me, a good project is practical yet with aesthetic value.
To arise people's sensational perception towards the environment we live in.
From the daily object I've encountered, discover the beauty from ordinary objects.
Maybe more like minimalism, usually I intend not to using too much materials, I prefer the space provides a sense of calmness and prove people a way to perceive objects with less distractions.
Study the client background, discovering the certain feature that could transfer to design motif or inspirations, achieve function with minimal forms.
Proportion with aesthetic view, less materials involved.
Creativities.
I usually do hand drawings for inspirations then applied it onto software.
Make sure what's the priority and invest more time on it, and manage to solve the trifle things during fragmented time.
For a residential project, it will take maybe 3 months, but commercial case, it would be quicker.
What's your design inspiration comes from?
A project with specific goal and could interest people.
By email or the website.
