Li Yo-yo's curatorial debut


Q: You have always focused on private house design and public space design. Why did you try to participate in the curatorial design of Guangzhou Design Week?


Li Youyou: Because I haven't done it before, I want to try it. Over the years, I have been thinking about a question: for the young Chinese designers, myself included, what can our innovative part bring to the industry and the world? Curation or exhibition hall design is a niche field that I have not come into contact with. I will ask myself: Do I have the courage and confidence to do it? The answer is yes, and I can do better.

In design, I think it's important to be curious, not afraid to do something you haven't tried. Li Youyou's recognition in the industry may be set in stone, when I bravely step out of my comfort zone, people will have a certain expectation of me.


I want to combine curiosity with curatorial ideas, so that you can see different aspects of Li Youyou. This Li Youyou is not restricted by rules and regulations, but dares to think and do. This is also the driving force for me to try curatorial design section, which enables me to find inspiration, stimulate thinking and show results in Guangzhou Design Week.


The Mirror garden in Li Yo-yo's mind



Q: Reveal the design inspiration or concept of "Mirror Garden"


Li Youyou: "The forest water, there is a mountain, the mountain has a small mouth, as if if there is light", from Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Source" in the beam of light, gave me inspiration, flower in the mirror, the moon in the water, people yearn for... The curatorial work in my mind is a garden. Thinking of WASSOR's German word "WASSOR (water)", I want to make it a very unique and quiet garden, with color, water, light and even nature in this space.


Color I considered three colors, the first blue, representing the sky and water; The second white represents hope, richness and variability. The third pink is full and dreamy. With the combination of light and color, the unique quiet garden is in front of us.


In addition, I hope to use this healing space to convey a state of tranquility and joy, and intersperse it with very simple architectural elements and simple geometric forms to connect the space.



The first core space in the exhibition hall is the long pink wall, and the second is the water. A long pink wall straddles the three Spaces horizontally, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor Spaces and gray Spaces. There is a sense of mystery when I move around the space, when I think I am inside, but what I see is completely outdoor landscape; When walking outside, I thought I was outside, but it was like transitioning in gray space.



The structure of the space and the sight line of the landscape will penetrate each other under the action of water. Water, as a continuous installation art, gives people a feeling of calm. The pink corridor beside it forms a very strong color contrast with the water.


This is what I want to convey through the Mirror Garden. I don't want people to feel that this is an exhibition hall, a systematic door and window exhibition hall displaying materials, but rather an art gallery and gallery of brand culture. This is a work of art.


Q: If the theory of "spatial mobility" you promoted is applied to the Vasser booth, what do you think is the same as that applied to the design of private homes?


Li Youyou: The application of spatial mobility in private houses requires horizontal and vertical convection of natural light and wind to generate mobility. In the design of the booth, this kind of convection is the convection of the pool, the garden, the line of sight between people, the convection of space scale, but the state of convection is not the same. Therefore, I think the spatial mobility of "mirror garden" is the same as that of private house. It is in the same vein, just as art is connected.

Q: The theme of this Guangzhou Design Week is "love". Do you have any passions?


Li Youyou: My idea of love is to endure loneliness and have enough self-discipline. I am very lucky to have a career that I love rather than a pure job, such as doing design, staying with my family and taking care of my children. There are many things I face at each stage, so I need to put all my energy into what I like, which requires me to endure loneliness and have enough self-discipline.


Why did Li Yo-yo choose Wazzor?


Q: You have always had strict requirements on the selection of partners. What are your considerations for this exhibition?


Li Youyou: When I first met with Chairman Li of Wasser, Li Dong said that he had seen the most advanced door and window system in Europe, and his first reaction was to bring it back to China for the common people. I admire entrepreneurs who have a sense of home and country, which is consistent with our cultural philosophy. After two in-depth contacts, I thought it was a cooperation worth exploring. At that time, I decided to choose Vasser as the brand for my exhibition.

Li Youyou's thoughts on the application of doors and Windows


Q: In your opinion, what role do doors and Windows play in the design of home decoration?


Li Youyou: Doors and Windows play a vital role in the home improvement industry. Doors and Windows are used primarily for security, but more for emotional connection.



In my opinion, because the shape and color of doors and Windows directly affect the convection of sight, the communication and interaction between families often need doors and Windows. For example, between the living room and the balcony, I can see the every move of family members through the doors and Windows. This convection of sight is full of emotion, so I think doors and Windows play a very important role in home design. It's an emotional connection that no other object can carry.



conclusion
