Earlier understanding of domestic furniture design
Most are those who ignore the government
The money and idle designer do things
At least in the college at that time
Few furniture design major
The design of those big factories
Most of them go to overseas exhibitions to take pictures and do it
It seems that the situation is much better over the years
Many domestic brands show an original road
There is a good return in the market
There are inconspicuous series of furniture
I won the nearest Red Dot Supreme Award twice
I will introduce this one today
Liang Chen, founder of Mingdu Design
In 2016, Mingdu Design was created in Hamburg, Germany
You can tell you
Just start from college when you graduate
I drank a bowl of the most popular chicken soup at that time
“You haven’t even observed the world
Where is the world view? “
I feel like something makes sense
I have to see the world
So wearing a T -shirt depart from Shenyang
Go to 4 countries, 50 cities
A person carrying a bag for 185 days
After half a year, wearing a down jacket home
The world has seen
There is no worldview
….
I just graduated
The sense of design is limited to the classroom
And after -school homework
On the way
I never expected to treat my future
What is the impact on your profession
Sometimes it is empty now
Think again
This journey has gone through different places
I’ve seen something incredible
And the person with all kinds
There are too diverse life, too many possibilities
No “standard answer”
The same is true in the face of today’s design
It’s hard to use “good and bad”, “beauty and ugly” definition
The more you do
You are even unable to define what is “beauty”
The proposition that can be left is
Design is the possibility of exploration
See, life is always tribute to you without trace
I felt nothing at the time
No matter how sensitive you are
You are always passively infected
This journey comes to an end
Still want to return to the right track
With the ability to design
Give up to yourself and ask for life
After two years
Duplicate content
Make yourself unwilling to work with peace of mind
I want to see the world again
When going to school
Knowing that Germany is the birthplace of contemporary design
Although I only knew Bauhaus at the time
Later discovered the unified German day
It is the same year as me
The most important thing is not tuition fees
Go and see there
When you are going to leave
I think I took three lessons
These are what I didn’t have been in China before:
In the first lesson, I learned to ask “Why?”
The first class of my school
Just take a bunch of sketches on the table to find a professor
Want to let him look at my masterpiece
But his first sentence is “Why do you design it?”
I stunned and said, “I think this is pretty good
Metal and glass
I feel very interesting “
He asked me
“You look at this window frame
It is also a combination of metal and glass
Do you think it is interesting?
There are tens of thousands of different side tables in the world
You are in shape, structure, material application
Or is there innovation in design theory?
If not, why do you do this? “
I didn’t answer up
First lesson
Let me know
“I think this is pretty good
It is not a foundation of an innovative design
To ask more deeply
“Why do you do this design?”
This proposition
Even now I have been in my mind
Ask my thoughts and answers
Second lesson
Learn “It must be rational, precise!”
In a ceramic design project
I told the ceramic master
This plate thickness is probably “one finger width”
She asked without thinking about it
“Is your fingers wide or mine?”
At that time, I was circled
Later, docking with the factory at work
If the designer’s CAD drawing
Is there no precision to the screw m6 or M8
This detail factory will send emails to confirm again
If there is a situation of “approximate, almost the same”
No one will treat you as a professional designer
To design is rational and precise!
Third class
Learn “doing tools”
I spent 2 years at the time
Systematically learned woodworking, gold workers, fine gold workers, and plastic molding
From manual to machine operations are very proficient
When a project proposal
I use almost all handmade methods
Created a “cool” chair
When I still feel good for my “crafts”
Another designer
Take out a strange tool
And a chair I don’t know how to make it at all
It turns out that the core of his design is the tool for his own design
And this tool can quickly mass -produced chairs
I thought before
If the existing machine cannot make a thing
That is, it can’t be created, unless it is handmade
That class made me realize
Originally a new product
If the existing machine cannot make it massage
Then use the existing machine
Create a new machine or tool to complete it
This process is design
Such as the intersection of rivers,
Such as flowing,
The name of “flowing chair” comes from this.
Due to the classic circle chair,
The overall shape is to use a computer to generate bidon surface,
It is completed through the mechanized processing of the 8 -axis CNC milling machine.
Try to reproduce traditional classics with modern craftsmanship
Speaking of the loofah series that has won the prize in the past two years
Original intention
It is because I am a Northeast
I didn’t buy a bath towel in Germany at that time
Later, I found that loofah can also be
In fact, it is very accidental to choose this material
At that time, I felt that its texture was very beautiful and warm
Just try different possibilities in the studio yourself
Use different processes, combine with different materials
It even grinded loofah into powder
Just take Chinese medicine orally
When the loofah series 1.0
Try to combine loofah with the inconspicuous multi -layer board
A very unique surface treatment process was formed
Can be used in furniture design
When the loofah series 2.0
It is transformed from a flat two -dimensional to a three -dimensional three -dimensional
Turning loofah directly as a support structure
In the parameterized algorithm combined with 3D printing technology
Let the other parts of the product
“Grow” through the structure and texture of loofah
Let technology and design follow nature
I will continue to study this series
I also look forward to what the loofah series 3.0 will look like
It is “Lilglon Series 1.0”,
Selected in natural materials loofah,
The texture is delicate and warm.
Touch the smooth texture on the surface of the stool,
Makes warm and warm.
In addition, it is a detachable structure,
Easy to transport and assemble.
Maybe it is the most inconspicuous furniture item,
But it fully interpreted “small and beautiful”.
I like the design
The appearance will look quieter
Pursuing innovation
Only release within the necessary elements
Avoid unnecessary
Simply talk about the visual part of the product
It’s like talking about a person’s hairstyle or clothes
Maybe it’s just a shell
Of course it can’t be too bumpy
At least size, proportion, color matching is comfortable
So I think
A work except the appearance
If in structure, materials, and manufacturing process
There is a greater breakthrough
Maybe it is more “meaningful” design
The core of the “Lilgrea Series 2.0” design is to combine primitive natural materials with modern digital molding technology.
The 3D printing part from the external shape to the internal structure and the surface hollow,
All algorithms that use computer parameters are “growing” along the structure and texture of loofah.
These two years
Because of the epidemic, we have all experienced a lot
Also in such an environment
Stimulated our exploration of new environment and new things
We are more concerned about the relationship between materials and materials
The relationship between nature and technology
The relationship between tradition and modernity
We hope to find more possibilities from it
And design is the way we explore every possible method
“We tend to appreciate nature and seldom think about life.”
“We often only appreciate nature, and rarely consider living with nature.”
—Scar Wilde
No matter how technology and artificial intelligence develop
People and technology should learn more from nature
Rather than saying “nature” cannot be replaced by technology
It’s better to make “nature” a teacher of technology
Let technology follow nature
This is a pet bag,
Its design is inspired by origami,
Use one felt and a few buttons,
You can convert a flat felt into a three -three shape and unique use function.
Half -closed design,
Can let pets cover it,
You can also interact with the owner at any time.
In addition, it can be transformed into a large number of pet travel bags,
You can roll up the storage,
Convenient to clean and storage.
In fact, design is character
It is also the value of the designer
I even seeks those visual design and innovation
Pursue those roots that can stimulate innovation
Not the result of innovation
This will make the “answer” more different
I feel very interesting “
“Why do you do this design?”
“Why do you do this design?”
