Shanghai Civic Song Yi: China's original furniture is still some distance from marketization

Interviewer: Song Yi, Design Director, Shanghai Civic Interior Design Engineering Co., Ltd.

[Reporter]: Hello, I am very happy to participate in the opening ceremony of our "Sit Down" exhibition in Shanghai. You just have to look at the original design of some of our furniture. What is your feeling? Can you share it with us?

[Song Yi]: I feel like going to Milan, or coming back. It may be similar to the current situation in China. I prefer to stick too many labels. Most of the things must be told to others, this is Chinese, related to China, this concept, I think sometimes it is relatively narrow, because the modern art exhibition, including the type of furniture, the focus is not on the form What to express, in fact, I have seen a lot of things, I have also paid attention to this aspect of things, new materials, new techniques, including the combination of new technologies, I feel that it is not too mature, in fact, some famous furniture It has been circulated until now that many of them are supported by new technologies, new materials and new technologies. They have been able to be passed down today. However, at present, in China, I feel that the mass production to open the market should be said. I still can't go out, I can only stay, play the feeling of playing, and still can't reach industrialization. Because there is almost no obvious industrialization in the furniture, you can do something, maybe the designer has ideas, do a lot, after you make it? What is represented, too much emphasis on the concept of superficialization, this is a phenomenon that I think is not too good, but it is better to mention criticism.

[Reporter]: But I think that if the original design of our Chinese furniture is mass-produced, this requirement is a bit too high, because now the original design of the furniture is missing, and the original design can only be considered for mass production.

[Song Yi]: You are right to say this. We are only beginning with Chinese contemporary furniture or furniture related to tradition, which means that we have to go a long way. To give an example, there are a lot of furniture in the exhibition today. I have seen some similarities before. The originality you said is not completely original in the true sense. Like a few pieces of furniture, I can refer to the original. Where is it, this inside is a good thing that must be inseparable from the use of material technology. It is an innovation. We may be just a starting stage, and this road has to go a long way.

[Reporter]: The London Olympics is about to open. This year's Olympic Games is known as the Green Olympics. It is very environmentally friendly. Then return to our home, in the environmental design of the home, what do you think is doing at home in China?

[Song Yi]: Compared with the Beijing Olympic Games, the London Olympics, its budget, I saw Weibo on the first two days, some foreigners said that compared with the Beijing Olympics, what is their situation in the British Olympics? He said that the mineral water emitted by the Beijing Olympic Games is enough for our British financial bankruptcy. He wrote this. Many examples, including the things left over after the Chinese Olympic Games are over, many things in China are good-faced. This is a big concept. You say that the most important thing in environmental protection is that other concepts are the next, and then a technical means. Many times you have a lot of needs, how many things you do, this is one of the biggest environmental concepts.

I am not engaged in the design of residential buildings. We mainly do public buildings. In this concept, what I just said is derived from the fact that it is a matter of strength. This is a big idea, for example, 300 squares. The office is enough, I have to rent 500 square meters. Or I have so many areas or so many things that I use, but I have to go to occupy more resources, just like at home, the design style of home decoration, like the misunderstandings we lead to luxury, such as some The design case likes low-key luxury. In terms of this style, it consumes a lot of things. You don't have a good idea. To implement it at a single point, this is not a solution to the fundamental problem. The big thing is still a question of concept. This is what I think is the most important.

[Reporter]: Thank you, Teacher Song for accepting our interview.
