Interview with Lien-Wu Chen

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.

I chose to be a designer, it was natural.

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.

Be brave and pursue your dreams without giving up any opportunities .

good designers borrow , great designers steal .

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.

I have strived to embrace challenges since the beginning thus is always pushing boundaries through innovation and creativity.That is a spirit of design !

I actively seek the opportunity to experiment with a diverse range of assignments. No limited!

To be master's teacher!

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.

Most of the people I get inspiration from are great people from different fields, such as painters, musicians, and novelists.

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.

The best is always next.

Go to various places to give lectures and promote my design concepts.

Being a designer is my only choice ！

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.

my clients

Obstacles come from myself. Face the difficulties directly and seek solutions. I believe that all the power of the universe will help me!

Being well-known can certainly help in communicating with customers, because from another perspective, being well-known is actually a kind of affirmation of professionalism. It is a positive record and image when talking to customers. On the contrary, sometimes high visibility makes the design itself become a vassal of fame. You may become obsessed with fame-focused management, but the improvement of design capabilities is restricted, and you become incapable of listening and understanding other designers. Well, it may become a bit conceited, and you may care too much about other people's evaluations and ignore self-precipitation and inner improvement. I believe that when the work reaches a certain level, is enough to convey its own concept, and is affirmed by a certain proportion of customers, then marketing will be effective.

A 2,700-square-meter office and factory design is a plan to remodel the corporate image of a fifty-year-old brand.

As designers, we can not only create a physical space, we can also create happiness.

A curious and unconstrained heart is the artistic force that drives a creator to move towards a broader sky.

The function of design is to amplify some details in life and make people see things that are originally invisible. Because of certain connections, people have feelings of happiness and beauty.

Be a teacher and spread happiness

I once received a design request from a "four sisters"... It was a house left behind by their mother after her death. They hope that their mother’s memories can always be preserved in that house. When he heard such design requirements, he felt stressed. When it was finally finished, there were some structurally unreasonable parts. People who couldn’t understand it might think it was beautiful. Those who understood it would see a blessing left by Chen Lianwu to them: “Everything you make is an illusion. It’s good to keep this memory in your heart, the important thing is to face a better tomorrow.”

Let AI-assisted design become a more positive development

Cross-domain design integration with AI

one to three years

I will make myself think like an onion, which is layer by layer, so one layer of thinking may be very rational and professional, while the other layer is irrational and can be unconstrained, and then try to do something. some collisions.

Go with the flow, so that it will be natural and leave no traces. No need to say anything, you can understand it in your heart. And every small step forward is a small step towards the inner truth.

Both，because we do work related to people

Tools to assist with creation and communication

Any software that can assist with drawing and rendering effects is used, as well as multimedia applications.

Just like condiments and ingredients in a delicious plate of food

When you see my design, you will understand it without further explanation.

What concept does he want to explain?

We are a professional design team that specializes in serving high-end customers and has a good understanding of each other. The design process is also as smooth as a cloud!

Every client has a different philosophy of life. Learning from the clients will open up more possibilities and make your own designs broader and more innovative!

Father's Biography: Intangible, Light Sense, Chen Tao-ming

Keep seeking new knowledge and trends, and always stay curious!

my father

I would like to quote Steve Jobs's famous saying: "stay hungry, stay foolish." In fact, popularity is external. As long as you work hard to do what you believe in or are good at, in this field If you study deeply, ask for advice humbly, and communicate and learn from all kinds of clients, manufacturers, and even competitors or fellow employees, you will definitely become better on the road to professionalism. Image and popularity are not achieved through marketing, but through recognition from others.

It's hard for me to say which color I like best. Maybe I can choose a transparent color. Light is transparent, and a beam of light can illuminate all colors.

Often I'll go back to an client's home a year or two later and I'll see something that makes me really happy. Sometimes I understand it from the perspective of design, such as arranging a sink. We make the top and bottom of the sink transparent, just because we don’t want the light to be blocked by the sink.
When I went there again, the client planted green plants under the sink.
Then she told me: "Do you know how great it is? After I wash my hands, I just pour water down there.
Most people have to wipe their hands with a towel after washing them, but I just water my beloved flowers directly.
My water can also nourish my flowers. "I can begin to imagine her scene and mentality at that time, living another life. But this life was not given to her by me, but by them. And I just rationally wanted to give her more light sources, So this is the part that moved me. I saw this part in many cases, and it also made me understand what life is. I realized that what I really want to know is this aspect, not just light... (Of course these are the basics)
But what is the most important thing about light? It's still that person, not a line or the beauty of light and shadow.

The fun thing about designing is that you can constantly absorb interesting things while working. Some people may find it difficult to absorb, or may think that in this era of information explosion, I have not absorbed enough. But if you treat it as a hobby, it will become a pleasant thing, and you can also draw inferences from one example. You will string together many things, and it will become a more fun thing.

I believe that this ability comes from God and is also one of my missions in this world.

Human beings can complete the design with their own consciousness

You can think that a certain person's design is good, but don't worship idols. Think more about what you want?

My company is not big but exquisite. Our company culture is "open", in terms of space and communication. We have global perspective and diversify interior design company. Our design is not limited in certain style but full of creativity and ideas.

For me design is art and living.

I can put my crazy idea and creativity into reality. And see my client live in an art place and bring them joy everyday.

comfortable and beauty

exciting and touched

Designers need to make our living more convenient and happier and prettier. Do less harm to environment.

My design comes from art. I often visit art exhibition and gallery to feed my brain. Traveling, to release my brain and put more nutrition into it.

I live in Taipei, Taiwan. I think in some aspect it influence me a lot. Here people believe Feng-shui so I often need to compromise and satisfy clients spiritual need and believes.

Among my design, which design is my favorite?

I work as a team
