Interview with Xin Chen

Design is a way to solve people's higher needs. It is difficult for me to define it, because the design originates from the inner thought of the individual, and it has always been biased by the individual.

I like to design a product that can be continuously improved, such as furniture. When you review a work after two weeks, you can always see where it needs to be modified.

I prefer the design of Kenya Hara, it conveys a very empty state. His definition of design is "just like this", and his design is very inclusive.

I like wood. Since ancient times, wood is an indispensable material for life. It is a gift from nature.

When I take a walk, I can focus on the things around me, and the natural growth can sometimes provide inspiration for my style.

I will think twice about the message that this work can convey. The second is its shape and size.

Sometimes I design very ugly things, I feel disappointed, powerless and a little angry with myself.

Of course, a great work will bring a very high sense of accomplishment.

Love design.

Good design I can feel the designer's thoughts or emotions.

The designer needs to lead the public in a sustainable direction, and the designer needs to be responsible for the impact of his products.

The future of design is to summarize the past experience, the design field divides us into various types of designers, which makes us more professional.

My design inspiration comes from many things, it may be a branch, it may be a shark, I will keep a lot of creativity by browsing a lot of things.

The quick drawing of the sketch is the first step. It allows you to quickly find a suitable shape. Secondly, I will go to build the model and modify the details repeatedly until I am basically satisfied with it. At this time, I will make it and think Product details and structural stability.Finally, of course, modify it.

Design is a very broad field, everyone can join, even if you may leave one day, but this is a very meaningful journey.

Inspiration comes from life, and details determine the height of the product.

Aesthetic ability and emotional intelligence.

Books, videos, sceneries are all my inspiration sources. My tools are sketchup, ps, ai, rhino, etc.

Are we over designing this product?

At the beginning of this year, I participated in the design of a sustainable business model, also known as SDG. It made me realize that design is an industry that can bring huge social value. Designers can directly promote environmental protection and improve the mode of getting along with people. Career, it is very important and necessary.
