Now leading Ace Designs Studio, he integrates influences from Japanese animation into his work, using mood and colour as tools for spatial storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wei-Ting Chen Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m Wei-Ting Chen, Design Director of Ace Designs Studio. My journey into the design industry began with a simple yet striking realisation \u2014 many ordinary houses could be elevated into something truly beautiful through a designer\u2019s vision, while those completed solely by carpenters often lacked aesthetic refinement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This contrast deeply impressed me and ignited my passion for creating spaces that harmonise function with beauty. Later, through the introduction of an industry veteran \u2014 a friend of a friend \u2014 I had the opportunity to step into the world of design, which has since become my lifelong career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winning the French Design Awards is an immense honour and a powerful affirmation of my work. It marks a significant milestone in my career, allowing me to stand out within the industry while reinforcing the trust and confidence of my clients. This recognition not only validates the creative vision behind my designs. But also serves as motivation to continually push boundaries and deliver work that exceeds expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have just received the news of winning, I anticipate that this recognition will strengthen our clients\u2019 confidence in our capabilities. And reinforce their appreciation of our design philosophy. More importantly, I believe it will open doors to a wider and more diverse client base. Allowing us to engage in projects of greater scale and variety. This achievement is not only a celebration for our team. But also a catalyst for expanding our reach in the design market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experimentation is an essential part of my creative process \u2014 every material, detail. And idea needs to be tested to truly discover its potential. In our award-winning project, a Pilates fitness studio, we explored various possibilities for the lighting design in the second-floor classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After careful evaluation, we decided to experiment with the use of headlamps. The result exceeded our expectations \u2014 instead of the harsh glare of direct lighting. The headlamps produced a softer, more diffused glow that perfectly matched the studio\u2019s atmosphere and enhanced users\u2019 comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-instagram\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\"><i class=\"icon-globe-line\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"icon-facebook\" style=\"\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(read more <a href=\"https:\/\/frenchdesignawards.com\/winner-info.php?id=559\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/muse.international\/interview-with-betty-fan-bailichen-interior-design-co-ltd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wei-Ting Chen discovered his calling in design through the contrast between functional builds and the transformative touch of a designer\u2019s vision.
