1.SG: what is your design concept?
您对于室内设计的理念是什么？
MD:Creating a home for the house owner, not to imposeour style and lifestyle to the customer, but help to implement the idea of detailed and specific needs of private customers. By helping private customers to create a home, where they can relax and to be themselves, not creating a showroom.
对于室内设计师来讲，为业主创造一个家是我们设计的主旨。并不是把我们的风格和生活方式强加给客户，而是帮助业主创造属于他们自己的梦想之家。通过帮助业主创造一个舒适的家，在那里他们可以放松自己，享受自己的空间，而不是设计一个展厅。
Nowadays, the needs for utilization of space is not as before, years ago, the house owner tended to design their home with many bedrooms; but now, they would have enough bed rooms for the people living in and create more open spaces and recreation rooms, etc. This is an example of changing of the spaces that used in China.
现今在中国，人们对空间利用的需求已经和从前大不相同，几年前，业主倾向于在别墅内设计多间卧室，如今，业主只需要有足够居住的卧室空间，希望拥有更多的开放空间和娱乐空间等等。这是国内室内设计中存在的显著的改变。
2. SG: From a general view, what is the trend of interior design? What is the development direction for curtain product?Or suggestion for product development.
您觉得当今室内设计的流行趋势是朝着哪个方向发展？特别的是: 您觉得对于窗饰的一个演变过程是朝着什么方向发展的呢？产品方面的建议。
MD:Minimalism is still the trend for global industry. From the color that used in interior design, and the furniture design.
极简主义始终是全球设计的总体趋势， 从室内设计到家具设计。

MD:Smart home system is a trend, it is depends on the needs of the people, the trend may go ups and down. The practical use of the system is keeping the house safe in the west, and connects all the electronic system. The customer choices are quite diverse; some people just not prefer to have it. And on the other side, the cost of the smart home system is quite expensive. If the cost goes down, it may become more popular for home decoration.
智能家居系统是一种趋势，它取决于人们的需求，需求性可能会上下起伏。该系统在西方的实际应用是保护房屋的安全性，起到连接室内的电子产品系统。客户的选择非常多样化，有些人不喜欢安装智能系统。另一方面，智能家居系统的成本相当昂贵。如果成本有所下降，它可能会成为一个家居装饰的趋势。
3. SG: what do you think culture difference that can influence the interior design?
您觉得文化差异对室内设计的影响明显吗？
MD:Yes, for commercial project, which concern material andresources used, that needto be sourced locally, and the design need to be creativeand modern, since the customer is looking for new show. For the private project, is much focused on owners ‘personality and characteristics’. For example, the Chinese Fengshui needs to be considered. For instance, in the west, when you design a house, you will see an open space from the front door to the back yard. But for many Chinese clients, you will need to design something to block the view from the door, which is related to Chinese Fengshui.
是的，对于商业项目来说，涉及到的材料和资源都是在当地寻找的，并且设计需要有创造性和现代性，客户寻找的是不同于当地文化特色的设计。对于私宅项目来说，设计主题更注重业主个人的个性和特点。例如，需要考虑中国风水。而在西方，当设计房屋时，业主希望站在门口可以看到后院的开放空间。但对于许多国内业主来说，这种做法是不吉祥的，需要设计屏风或者一面墙来挡住大门，这就是极具地方特色与设计相关连的因素。
So the local culture does have a great influence in the interior design process.
所以，地方文化对于室内设计有很大的影响。
4. SG: As a designer, from a professional perspective, what is the position that curtain in the interior design? Is there any influence by culture difference?
作为一个设计师，您有丰富的室内设计经验，您觉得窗饰在整体的室内设计中所占什么样的位置？而文化差异在这方面有哪些体现？

MD:The curtain is a combination of functional and decoration factors. When day time, it is used as a shading system to keep out the glare. And when the night time had come, it is to keep the privacy from outside. Both ways, will serve as a decoration factors to the house.
窗帘是功能性和装饰性相结合的产品，在室内设计中，起到装饰家居的作用。白天，作为遮阳系统挡住耀眼的眩光；夜晚，起到保持室内隐私的作用。
The culture difference tends to have different choices of the fabric design, such as colors, patterns, etc.
不同的文化所创造出来的设计有所差异，例如面料的设计，颜色，花纹等。
5. SG:how do you think about the relationship between interior design and art?
您是如何理解艺术与设计的关系的？
MD:Although many architect and designers do cross industry for product design, such as Philippe Starck, who from designing home products, digital products to buildings, most works are brand cooperation. And such as Kelly Hoppen, she created her own home deco brand.
虽然, 许多建筑师和设计师都在做跨行业的产品设计，如菲利普·斯达克，涉及多个领域，从设计家居产品，数码产品到建筑，大多数作品是与品牌合作。再比如Kelly Hoppen，她创造了以自己名字命名的家居装饰品牌。

Second is the happiness of the owner, our design is from the inside out, which means, customer focused, telling their own needs for the space, what kind of feeling they would like to have in the house, etc.
首先是工艺，始终坚持最初的设计——项目的主旨不能改变。这一过程涉及到一个漫长的沟通过程，通过了解业主的需要，不同的设计阶段都有变化的可能。其次是业主的幸福感，我们的设计是由内到外开展的，这意味着，以顾客为中心，讲述他们自己对空间的需求，他们希望在家里拥有什么样的感觉等等。
