‘Design’, says Kenyon Yeh, ‘is a process and a tool to deliver ideas’. From his Taipei studio Yeh creates furniture and lighting that, although boiled down to the most minimalist forms possible, nonetheless convey Yeh’s ideas and aesthetic regarding modern urban living. His UNIKEA project is emblematic of his practice: in it, Yeh strove to forge unique identity from uniformity by assembling Ikea flatpack furniture without reference to the instructions, customising each component as he went along. Yeh’s interest in unique approaches and beautifully simple forms have seen him invited to work with the likes of TOPMAN UK and British designer Simon Hasan, as well as acting as brand director of Taiwanese make Esaila.
