Famous Designers Like To Teach By Means Of Materials.

What is the basis for designers to exert their power?

Perhaps many people's answers will be imagination and inspiration, but some people do not believe in such illusory things. Instead, they prefer to teach by material, such as Italy designer Andrea Destefanis and China's new cutting-edge Zhou Xiangyu.

Andrea Destefanis, a Italy designer who has lived in Japan for many years, has recently shifted the focus of her work and her team to Shanghai. People have once again appreciated the creative thinking of the architectural renovation design expert in the concept store of Germany's Maynard house opened recently.

Unlike ordinary home furnishings, the design of Andrea is not single to make the old new product created in 1899 so different. On the contrary, what he wants to do is to make those "unexpected" cabinets in his home compatible with the environment.

The large air-conditioners and glistening fire hydrants in the room become ornaments under the parcel of modified wood and natural materials, and even integrate with the surrounding environment. At the same time, these natural materials which are harmless to human body also play the role of thermal insulation and noise isolation.

The same idea with Andrea is that Zhou Xiangyu, the cutting-edge fashion designer in China, used his words that "good clothes should be made of good fabrics so that they are beautiful."

Recently, in the Italy REDA fabric 2011/2012 autumn and winter new product exhibition site, Zhou Xiangyu selected the most "IN" two color systems he chose from this season's massive fabrics, and made a matching combination.

The brown series includes slate dust and snow dust, accompanied by a Brown Tint and even a green halo with ochre and ancient pink shadows; the new series under the blue tone is colorful: indigo, ink blue, violet, Mei Ziqing...

The application of wash coating to twisting, marble, lattice effect and color matching confirms the designer's rich expressive power to the bottom and surface of the fabric.

Zhou Xiangyu, who is in the limelight, has successively taken several authoritative design awards in recent years. It has become the only person on the list that Forbes released in 2010.
