Interview with Hu Li from China

Becoming a designer is a calling and a pursuit deep within me. It allows me to unleash creativity, pursue beauty, solve problems, convey emotions and stories, achieve personal growth and contribute to society. Together, these factors form the motivation and conviction that led me to choose this path.

Jiangsu Balance Art Design Company, an interior design brand with balance as its driving force, constantly seeks the integration and dialogue between “people” and “space”, and carries out tailor-made customization and planning, so as to achieve rational arrangement and utilization.

Focusing on hotels, restaurants, sales offices, showrooms, offices, education, high-end villas and other spaces, we provide professional design and customization services. We pursue the perfect combination of design and landing.

Design means solving problems and expressing emotions. Through elements such as color, shape, line, and material, we create aesthetically pleasing and functional pieces.

My favorite designs are those that balance functionality, aesthetics and innovation. They bring new experiences and value to users through their unique design language and creative inspiration, while also pushing the design field to continue to evolve and progress.

Good design has a unique power to skillfully balance complex relationships while evoking emotional resonance, inspiring creativity, and increasing interaction and depth of perception.

Emphasizing the local design style, on the basis of in-depth understanding and respect for local culture, we are brave to innovate and dare to break through the traditional constraints, and create design works with regional characteristics that are also in line with modern aesthetics and functional needs.

The design process is a carefully planned, highly collaborative and results-oriented process that ensures a high degree of consistency between design and delivery, while listening closely to the client's needs and pursuing innovation.

My country and its cultural heritage have had a profound impact on my design process. They have not only provided me with design inspiration and heritage, but also cultivated my cultural sensitivity and international vision.

On the road of design in the future, I will continue to excavate and pass on these valuable cultural heritages, and work hard to design works with more cultural connotations and national characteristics.

Thank you very much! Being the winner of the 2024 MUSE Design Awards is of great significance to us as individuals, as a company and as a team.

We will take this opportunity to continue to uphold the values of “Innovation, Excellence and Responsibility”, to pursue excellence in design quality and service quality, to create more design works with cultural connotations and national characteristics for our clients, and to contribute to the development of the design industry.

Feast at the Fisherman's House, located in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, China, was designed with “water” as the main theme, skillfully blending Yulin's history and culture, natural landscape and modern design elements to create a comfortable, artistic and spiritual dining space. In the planning of the space, the streamline design outlines the dynamics of water, perfectly combining the dining area with water elements.

The design of the private rooms draws inspiration from the rich history, culture and natural landscape of Yulin, Shaanxi, China. By extracting the elements of traditional art and culture and using the modern design techniques of deconstruction and reorganization and creative evolution, the restaurant interprets tradition from a novel perspective, creating a unique and comfortable dining environment.

At Feast at the Fisherman's House, you can savor Yulin's cuisine, feel the beauty of the water, explore the secret world of colors, appreciate the historical and cultural heritage, and experience a journey of discovery for both the taste buds and the soul.

The Feast at the Fisherman's House project faced challenges in terms of off-site construction and management, and many difficulties were tackled at the construction site in order to achieve a perfect project.

Winning the MUSE Design Awards is an important milestone in my career and an important opportunity for personal and team growth and development. It not only brings honor and recognition, but also injects strong motivation and confidence in the company's future development. We look forward to continuing to shine and create more impressive achievements in the future!

Craftsmanship, challenging and creativity.

The reasons for my country China's uniqueness in the design industry are manifold including deep cultural heritage and inheritance, strong innovation and technological strength, diversified design styles and fields, the impetus of market demand and consumption upgrading, as well as policy support and a favorable environment for the development of the industry.

These factors work together to make China's design industry show its unique charm and strength on the international stage.

In the next 5-10 years, the development direction of the design industry will show trends of diversification, intelligence, greening, internationalization and personalization. These trends will profoundly affect all aspects of the design industry, from design concepts, technical means to market applications.

The path to entering the design industry or pursuing a MUSE Design Awards is full of challenges and opportunities. The only way to succeed is to keep learning, practicing, innovating and working hard. I hope the above advice will help and inspire you.

Improving skills in the design industry requires continuous learning, practicing and communication. You can constantly broaden your horizons and knowledge and improve your design level and professionalism.

Strong faith is the key to discovering the beauty of design. Only with the love and persistence of design, the courage to innovate and practice, and the attitude of keeping an open mind and continuous learning, can we go farther and farther and more wonderful on the road of design.

Good discovery and the cultivation of art is an important source of inspiration and innovation for designers in the creative process.

The key to success lies in continuous learning, expanding one's horizons, clarifying one's goals, and innovating constantly.

Words of advice: Curiosity is the driving force of innovation, and an open mind is the ladder of growth.
