Waterfrom Design

水的形狀來自承載的容器，以無垠想像適應環境變化。—— 水相設計。

"The form of the water comes from the container it is in. It adapts to the changes in the environment with boundless imagination." - Waterfrom Design.

成立於2008年的水相設計跨足室內與建築領域，秉持設計應如『水』的初衷，純淨、有機又多變，本質上保持其原有的簡潔性，意念上展現無框架的可能性。我們致力關注於空間的故事脈絡及時間光線，創造一個具有情感沉澱及訊息想像的空間。近年來，水相設計陸續榮獲紅點產品設計大獎、德國if 設計大獎、A’Design Award、國家金點獎、台灣室內設計大獎、亞太室內設計大獎、IIDA Best of Asia Pacific Design Awards、BoY (Interior Design Best of Year)等獎項殊榮，作品也深受義、荷、法、韓等國際媒體報導。更於2018被美國指標媒體 INTERIOR DESIGN評選全球40間新堀起設計事務所。

Established in 2008, Waterfrom Design straddles both the interior design and the architecture field, believing that design should be like water, simple and pure, organic and ever-changing, retaining the simple, neatness of water’s essence, and displaying possibilities without framework in concept. We strive to give attention to the story and context of the space and time, to create spaces that can convey messages, and let emotions settle and mature. In recent years, Waterfrom Design has received Red Dot, if Design Award, A’Design Award, Golden Pin Design Award, Asia Pacific Interior Design Award, Taiwan Interior Design Award, IIDA Best of Asia Pacific Design Awards, BoY (Interior Design Best of Year), and their work has been reported by the Italian, Dutch, French, Korean and other international media. In 2018, we are selected as one of the 40 international interdisciplinary studios by American leading design media INTERIOR DESIGN.

予人『沉澱』的空間

Giving people the space where time can settle and mature

我們不希望以『開宗明義』的設計手法，我們希望的作品是，生活在此空間中一段時間、一個月、一年，甚至十年後，讓時間沉澱過後對於空間有不同的解釋與感情。

We do not want to create designs where the ideas are clear from the outset. We wish to create works that, after having lived in the spaces for a period of time, whether a month, a year, or a decade, the effects of time will lead to the spaces having different expressions and emotions.

予人『想像』的空間

Giving people the space to imagine

我們不做『一目了然』的設計，我們希望空間使用者自己尋找答案，找到屬於自己的劇本，就像藝術評論家用不同的角度闡述畫作。我們試著傳達一種意想不到的訊息，有時使用者比我們更早找到答案。

We do not create designs that are obvious at first glance. We wish for the people utilizing the space to find the answers for themselves. Like art critics describing an artwork from different points of views, we want the people find their own version of the story. We try to convey unexpected messages, and sometimes the people using the space will find the answers even before we do.

『設計過程與結果是難以預知的，所以必須嘗試所有的可能，唯有持續的繪製，從多種的版本中找到最後的答案。『約略性質』的美感是我們保持的信念，所有的畫作線條都不是用尺畫出來的，我喜歡的設計不是刻意的工整，如果可以稍微有一點的『自然線條』會更接近我們想表達的空間。』－李智翔

The process of design and its results are difficult to predict, so all the possibilities must be attempted. Only through continuously drawing, creating multiple drafts and versions, can the final answer be found. We maintain the belief that aesthetics comes from approximating what is natural. All the lines of the drawing are not drawn with rulers. The designs I like are not purposefully neat and organized, but to have a little bit of natural lines, which will let us get closer to the space that we want to express." - Nic Lee.

水相設計總監李智翔從事設計迄今十餘年，作品揉和極簡與幽默，畢業自紐約普瑞特藝術學院室內設計碩士與丹麥哥本哈根大學建築研究。帶著藝術、人文、哲學的思考，李智翔的學習養成到執業，有著建築設計般的理性思維，亦有藝術家的叛逆本質，他喜歡在規則的例外對既有秩序重新定義，在不可預知的不準確性下發現驚奇。擅長將空間裝置藝術化，喜愛由生活探索靈感的他，藉由大量藝術作品、展覽與閱讀吸取養分，將深刻感受轉化為設計靈光。

The design director of Waterfrom Design, Nic Lee, has been in designs for over a decade, and his work mixes extreme simplicity with humor. He graduated from the Pratt Institute, New York with a Master of Science in interior design, as well as having participated in Denmark's International Study Program. Throughout his education and career, Nic has melded thinking from the arts, humanities, and philosophy, possessing the logical thinking of architecture and design, as well as the rebellious nature of artists. He likes to be the exception outside the norm, to redefine the current order, and to find the unexpected within the unpredictable inaccuracies. He excels in the use of installation art in spaces, and loves to find his inspirations from life, getting the most out of copious amount of reading, exposure to artworks and exhibitions, and turning the profound feelings thus gained into sparks of design inspirations.
