STUDIO TAIYI

INFO

I’m Taiyi Yu, a designer currently based in The Netherlands. With a profound interest in fostering connections and exploring relationships, I like to adopt an improvisational and hands-on approach in my research and design practice. By crafting real-world stuff, I seek to bridge diverse perspectives and unfold engaging narratives through the playfulness and flexibility of design.

Always open to cool collaborations and new friends – so feel free to hit me up or haunt me on the street anytime!

Forms Follow Flows

"Forms Follow Flows" is a concept that aims to explore the relationship between human beings and objects in urban spaces. The project proposes the creation of a series of street objects that challenge the traditional design of urban objects and their interaction with people. With the interactive attribute of the material and configurations, these objects would adapt and respond to the flow of people in public spaces, creating a dynamic and interactive environment. This project questions the way we perceive and interact with the materiality of objects, encouraging a more playful and engaged attitude toward the urban environment. It seeks to foster a more intimate relationship between humans and the environment which used to be "fixed"
