About The Name of Sewing Residential Apartment
The Name of Sewing is a residential apartment interior design of 80 square meters in New Taipei City, Taiwan. The concept was drawn from the homeowner's memories of her father, a cobbler who made boots for her 45 years ago that are still kept in a display cabinet. The homeowner later became a fashion designer, so sewing links father and daughter. Cement surfaces of low chroma highlight the collected objects, while titanium plated panels, a stainless steel frame and glass bricks form the television wall. A trumpet shaped chandelier recalls the father's music.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The design concept for this residential space was derived from the homeowners precious memories towards her cobbler father, as the boots which her father made for her 45 years ago that are well-cherished in the display cabinet. She became a fashion designer later on, where sewing became a connection between father and daughter.
- Inspiration
- Sewing may be applied to footwear and garments. Time can be remembered and continuing ticking. This project used several fashion design elements to demonstrate the diversity, creating quality conflict. Her father used to play musical instrument, hence chandelier in the shape of the trumpet is applied to concretize her missing emotion of her father, building a continuing connection of space and time for them.
- Research
- The kitchen used a massive amount of titanium board decorations, while the side table is integrated on the column, forming block-faced integration with the cement sculpted wall surface, where the special patterned wood texture and the metal complements each other, such that the ceiling subverts the imaginations towards the kitchen.
- Challenge
- The shimmering metal and cement blurred the border of style to perform a dreamy space. Symmetry is not the emphasis on the unique parts where different materials combine together. The greatest unique part to this project is depicting the borderless spatial design, accomplishing the contrast between coarseness and exquisiteness, endowing strong visual conflict while featuring memories and qualities of the residents.
- Realization and Technology
- The living room and bedroom are optimized, while the dining room is presented in the form of a side table. Allow the slightly coarse and low chroma cement base to highlight the collections with stories, as well as create a different quality as compared to common residence. The homeowner has also collected a half body mannequin from the 18th century, and stands it by the wall behind sofa as if it is an artwork for display while also symbolizing the passion towards her own career.
- Operation and Interaction
- The television wall used titanium plated panel with stainless steel frame and glass bricks on both sides to create visual transparency and depth of field. The black track lights and exposed pipelines on the ceiling, creating a unique modern industrial trend with the specially made light fixture.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project finished on the 15th of June 2018, locates in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
- Specifications
- The property is 80 square meters.
