Interview With Sano Shanghai From China

I love painting and art from my childhood, and want to bring beauty to everyone and become a designer since long time ago. I think it is from my nature.

Reshape Structur is an interior design company. I am the team leader to manage team members in daily work and create interior works together from the concept to the completion work.

Design for me is the motivation and joy of every day. In terms of my career, it is also a goal that requires my dedication to pursue.

I don't have a constant favorite design type that for me, each design type has its own beauty. I just need to learn the good parts of those projects and try to improve, even correct the defects.

It is all about solving problems. As long as the design helps people to solve the problem they concern of living and working, it is successful. It is even better if the space considered of aesthetics and art.

Actually, I cannot find any specific words to describe my design, so I will better to say they are no style. It is important to understand the needs of the client and the unique form of each space before start to design. Then not consider what I want to design and just focus myself to the project itself, that makes a space unique and stylish.

During the design process which is a ‘constantly overturning itself’ process, at the beginning, I will carefully prepared several options of proposals, comparing them and discussing with clients, finally finding out the best way to do. I will continually deepen it and adjust it according to the reality.

I think cultural heritage has deeply influenced each one of us and the design philosophy of Chinese designers. It also plays a very important role in my work.

It must be very honored and pleasant, and a recognition of the design work of my team and me. I am sure it will be an incentive for our team.

The work took one year for us to complete, and the entire team was work from home within designing the project because of COVID. It is really a special experience to us and everyone.

It must be working from home which changed the whole design progress of my work. But I have to say every project is big challenge for me at that moment, so I prefer to encounter challenges and never back down from a challenge.

Projects of me will be known by pears in the industry and be more familiar with market.

Design is the industry of constant exploration and innovation, assert yourself and improve yourself.

Constantly reading a lot of design books, as well as referencing to good projects that quantity causes quality.

My one-year-old son, watching him be born and came into the world, watching him grow up, watching him call me father, those moments make me feel responsibility that became the motivation of my work.

Keep your feet on the ground, study hard and don't be hesitated to ask questions when needed.
