Not indiscriminately imitating the tradition, but making use of modern technology to express the essence of traditional furniture that conforms to the practical needs at present.
Who is GAO Yang?
Gao Yang’s Design Concept:
"It's not about my life philosophy. I just want to do a little bit things like a needle tip, but I must do it very deeply."
The designer Gao Yang thinks that he has no tagged design style, but is getting deeper and deeper in the design concept： How to balance traditional Chinese craft and modern furniture design? How to keep pace with the Chinese needs of home living and aesthetics inheritance flow?

In the view of GAO Yang, modern furniture with Chinese characteristics is definitely a copy of tradition.
"As a Chinese designer, the understanding of tradition is not out of pure novelty, but an understanding and integration. Chinese traditional furniture has reached a high level of aesthetic appreciation, in a peak of technology and form. Copying can't go beyond the traditional height. From 70s to 90s, profound changes in family life and habits of space usage have taken place. It has already become a fact that ancient furniture is no longer applicable.
Obviously, in the facts that urban living space becomes smaller at present and the proportion of tenants is higher, it has become a more urgent proposition on how to adapt to the change, balance the modern industrial technology and the traditional furniture culture, and provide practical furniture design plan.
Applying the Western learning into oriental use lands in the mainland market, to make the furniture with Chinese characteristics.
Under the tide of globalization, imitation is more than innovation in domestic market, in lack of presentation of regional individualization. Designed for design, not for life.
"At the beginning of making design, a lot of good ideas cannot be realized finally. I realized that the scope under my control was smaller and smaller. Later, I started to focus on furniture design. The most important thing in furniture design is the landing of the whole chain.
The first step to make China's own furniture is to break the inherent thinking of the whole home furnishing ecology. "Many people think that the design is just to make a picture, an impression drawing, and leave the rest to the factory. In fact, the final landing of the design requires a professional enterprise process system, as well as the designer's check through the whole process. "
"I personally like bamboo very much, which is an important part of Chinese traditional culture. Whether it is in the literary works such as expressing ambition by bamboo, or planting bamboo everywhere in southern family household. It is environmental and in life temperature. Only by real contacting, touching and feeling, you can get what you want.”
Not copying the tradition but using modern technology can express the essence of traditional furniture that conforms to the practical needs at present. Obviously that is the furniture in real integration of Chinese characteristics and modern aesthetics.
