INTERVIEW WITH HAOMING LI – BRIDGING TRADITION AND MODERNITY
Haoming Li , whose work has already garnered international acclaim , spoke about the inspirations behind these new collections .
“ My designs stem from a fascination with the interplay between structure and fluidity , deeply influenced by the forms and philosophies of traditional Chinese art ,” she explains . “ The Weaving Chair , for instance , was inspired by a simple moment — folding a receipt — and this idea of transforming flatness into volume became the core of the piece . I believe that design should be approachable , yet profound , allowing people to feel a sense of connection with the piece .”
Li ’ s expertise and dedication have earned her multiple accolades , including the prestigious Red Dot Design Award , the Design Shanghai Picks Award , and several MUSE Design Awards . Her work is rapidly establishing hm-LI Studio as a noteworthy player in the international design community .
“ For me , design is not just about form ; it ’ s about creating something that resonates on a personal level ,” she adds . “ I draw a lot of inspiration from my upbringing and my experiences working in both large-scale architecture and intimate furniture design .”
