1Please give us a brief bio of yourself and your design background.
We are Min-Kang Tseng and Hsu Kuei-Wen, a team of 2 designers majoring in architecture.
2What made you become/why did you choose to become a designer/artist?
What made us pursue and choose to become a designer would be our aim and goal to pursue aesthetics. For us, "design" is to pursue the beauty in life, and beauty should be displayed in life at any time.
3Tell us more about your agency/company, job profile, and what you do.

We founded CHI-R Interior Design, a simple, small-scale studio consisting of several new-generation designers. We are always trying our best to provide new lifestyles for people, spaces, and the environment.

To provide the best services, we prioritise the residents' perspective, completing a design space of personal style, perfectly integrating the residents' habits and design aesthetics, and implementing the core awareness of the art of life.

4What does “design” mean to you?
For us, we agreed with the motto that "Design" is to pursue the beauty in life, and beauty should be displayed in life at any time. The beautiful things in life, provide a new way of life between people, space, and the environment.
5What’s your favorite kind of design and why?
In our team, our preferred kind of design would be a modern style of designing. The modern style of designing will have fewer constraints while designing.
6To you, what makes a “good” design?
A good design would require suitability of designing, designing is not just designing something but making it a suitable and utilised design is what makes it good.
7How did you come up with the idea for your award-winning design?
The design and idea for the Grand Feast were coined and designed after communicating with the residents of the home. After discussion and communicating with what and how they want their home to be designed with, I sensed their demeanor and family needs. Hence the creation of Grand Feast came to be.
8What was your main source of inspiration for this design?
The main source of inspiration for this design would be "Life". As we've discussed and communicated with the owner of the home, we concluded that the need for life and family would be the ideal inspiration for the designing.
9Congratulations! As the winner of the London Design Awards, what does it mean to you and your company and team to receive this award distinction?
Thank you so much for the esteemed award! This is a positive affirmation of artwork for us, along with an acknowledgment of design philosophy and aesthetic artistry.
10Can you explain a bit about the winning work you entered into the London Design Awards, and why you chose to enter this project?
This project incorporates special building materials and cutting-edge design concepts. Combined with the uniqueness of the original architectural layout, the design became more intriguing.
11What is your key to success? Any parting words of wisdom?
For us, the key to success is only ONE word! Perseverance.
