View Larger Image and Additional Photos of Yumeng GaiAbout Yumeng Gai : Yumeng Gai is a furniture designer graduating from Rhode Island School of Design. In her design work, creating identities for furniture is the main concept. Furniture is creatures like other living things on this planet. They have their emotion and expectation of the world, and they eager to participate in our daily life. Yumeng is interested in building interactive relationships between furniture, humans, and the surrounding environment, and creating an environment where humans and furniture respect, love, and take care of each other. And during the interaction process, furniture enhances their unique identities.
I treat furniture as living objects. They talk, laugh, and cry. When the idea of a chair appears in my mind, the spirit of the chair is born. "What do you want to be?" I ask. Then all I do is listen to what it says and form its body the way it wants. The process of forming the body is quite experimental and free. There is no limitation in the material, color, structure, form, function, and application. Mostly, surprises occur when colliding ideas come across. I enjoy the process of experimenting. It's like playing hide and seek with the initial idea in my mind. I head freely in any direction I am interested in until the epiphany where I found the lost link of my design. The process of experimentation allows me to explore furniture's personalities. Only after I finally understand the talks between the initial idea and materials can I find the path to bringing my chair into real life.
