Designer profile
The name “Spout Design” is inspired by the fountain in the city centre of Chiayi in Taiwan. The word “Spout” thereby is supposed to state that the agency expects to stay – and flow inspiration and ideas like spring water. The agency’s members hope that their design is not only business, but building trust with clients and becoming cooperative partners, with a “Spout” force to achieve the design of each project. Spout Design’s services cover brand image, space planning, graphic design, packaging design and other fields.
Spout Design in an Interview with Red Dot
Red Dot: What does design mean to you?
Spout Design: Every design is a kind of “leisure” or “entertainment” for us. Every time we grow beyond ourselves, we generate new ideas and new horizons. Design is not necessarily to accomplish a certain purpose; we believe that design is actually a “new beginning”.
To what extent do you think new technologies are changing design?
Technology enables design to take different perspectives and ways of thinking and can also convert and fulfil imagination. In the process of technological progress, design has different implementation methods.
How would you define good communication design?
Resonate with the client and create value through design.
What best describes your award-winning project?
The reconstruction of local old houses, a sense of space transparency and multivariate space usage, the use of brand design elements to create space atmosphere.
Please describe the concept of creativity against the background of your award-winning work.
“Aged” does not mean out of fashion, but its original beauty has been forgotten by people. Through the combination of old and new designs, the works are given new life and continue their value and meaning of life in the new era.
