"Transitioning into furniture design after a special opportunity to participate in an emerging designers' exhibition marked a profound turning point in my architectural journey. This experience deepened my fascination with furniture and objects as the core elements that define a space's atmosphere. Since then, I have sought to ground my rigorous studio design process in the honest value of physical labor and craftsmanship. Before exploring the mixture and synergy of various materials, I am currently deeply immersed in pushing the structural and tactile limits of wood. My recent works are the physical manifestation of this material exploration, translated into contemporary design."
