On September 5, at 19:00 Beijing time, 932 Designs, a well-known Design house in Singapore, Shared their works and design ideas with the public through ImI. The reaction of the entire 100-minute live broadcast also reflects the audience's love for 932 Designs. 932 Designs Shared with us how they embodied "simple luxury" in private residential projects, as well as their design concepts and experience. Small make up that the most wonderful than the question and answer session, to meet the design of our curiosity, also reflects the desire for design knowledge.

“The search for perfection in an understated space.” This is also the design concept pursued by 932 Designs. Eternal: refers to Timeless, Forever, Permanent. Balance: Refers to the Balance. They believe that an ideal home should be a poetic and eternal space, which is not only a luxurious space, but also a harmonious, peaceful place for physical and mental rejuvenation. A home should be a refuge.

Yinji: How to consider the employer's real-life scenarios combined with his minimalist design philosophy. Your works are beautiful, more like art scenes than life scenes.
932: This problem is very real, in fact, when the owner came to them to do the design, the owner agreed with the design concept of 932, that is, simple luxury, if it is not like, will not come to find. There are so many design styles in the world, some of them are very complex, very costly, but there are some very simple, there are also some people design more than 932 design simple, in fact, the main or the owner of his personal favorite is what kind of design, for us, this design will not have any problem, because the owner to find, already refer to their previous projects, and is like our design, 932 to create the space is actually contracted the luxury of space, let everybody can immerse down to looking for your soul.

Yinji: Everyone likes the project of 932 design very much. It is simple and has texture. Could you please tell us the source of inspiration? How did this minimalist design or philosophy stick? What are the implications for the future design market?
932: first of all, we want to say is that we did not affect the future design market forces, there are also many designers design better than we do, that we also did not actually according to certain style to design, from 2011 to now, we actually have a different direction, we have been in internal research, improve our design. Initially, we believed in creating a minimalist space, but later we found that we wanted to create healing Spaces where people could relax and recharge. Later, we thought we could bring nature into space, because nature is the easiest thing to heal. This is also what we do through different proportions, design curves, sensory stimuli and so on, all of which are things that we retain that are worth exploring, ideas that we cling to. But these are not enough to affect the future design market, there is not enough force to affect the market.

Yinji: How do you subtract in the design process?
932: This is also a very realistic problem, a good design is not about how much you put in, the most important thing is how much you take out, in the design process, this is not easy. There are a lot of requirements in the design, you need to meet, for example: she bought a piece of furniture but did not conform to the design concept, or bought a piece of art is very luxurious, maybe these are the only bright spot in the design, then the rest is the background, and related to this. The simpler, the more basic, the better. The basic living room can become a very comfortable space. We need to figure out what we absolutely need and get rid of what we don't need. But we also can't always reduce things, keep decreasing will become too cold, too impersonal, the whole space will not be so good, the most important is to find a balance in proportion.

There is more to the point, in fact, at present we are not doing subtraction, the main is to let all the things together, so to the introduction of the natural is the best way, such as that I just mentioned: on the wall there is a metal decorations, and so on, these are needed by the owners, we need to do is find more material with the decorations.

Yinji: How to achieve the integration of different cultures and concepts in cross-border design? What is the difference between working on a project in China and Singapore?
932: We also started more Projects in China, and we were approached by some well-known developers in China. We were surprised and flattered that they would like our design. Is a big market in China, not everyone likes our contracted design, and the design of China also have their own good place with its own characteristics, I represent is not, of course, the design of the Singapore, I represent 932 design, if you want to put our design concept into China, the owner must understand how we is a kind of design style, of course, the owner must be like our design, to be able to proceed.

In the case of different culture and lifestyle, China and Singapore are very different. In Chinese houses, one has to pass through the front hall to enter the living room, but in Singapore, most people directly enter the living room, which is a different place. Secondly, there are few front and rear ventilated houses in Singapore, but it is very common in China, so people need natural ventilation and front and rear lighting. Although there are different house types, we firmly believe in the concept of simplicity and luxury. We believe that the design method can be retained. For example, we can bring nature into the interior space.

Yinji: What's your definition of luxury? How do you find the feeling you want? How to express them accurately to customers?
932: Everyone has a different definition of luxury. For us, luxury does not mean the use of complex, luxurious materials and so on, luxury represents the simplicity of space quality. In the past few years, we used drawing to communicate with the owners, which has achieved a very positive effect and increased our confidence. Although it is not so easy to communicate with the owners, we can spread the concept to more people. What we think is most important is that more and more people understand that luxury is not a luxury but a simple space for people to relax and rejuvenate.

Yinji: know from last year 932, very impressive it works, I do landscape design, the design of the 932 works always affect me for their own design thinking, listening to the broadcast, for 932 more exquisite and learn, what you show is very real, space, material, craft, quality, natural, can really feel comfortable space to convey, in these projects. If so, I would like to know how you have developed your own aesthetic propositions. Is there a way to explore and a path to share?
932: first of all, I'm not a genius, aren't we are born with the ability, we exercise our skills through countless explore, in fact, we share this is also our process of exploration, in the design, we will not only give a solution, in exploring different solutions at the same time, we also improve their own design skills, what we need to see is: different people have different design style, constantly testing, know what is good design, hope everyone to see, is not only the design of 932, more see different designs in the world.

When you are surrounded by a variety of design, you can know what is good design, the so-called good and bad is not absolute, but subjective. So we are never looking for what is the best design, but constantly exploring, constantly looking for our favorite design. In fact, we spend the whole stage looking for, what do we really think of? When you are exposed to various international designs, you will find what you want most. That's the most fundamental thing we want to talk about.
