"YI+MU Design Office"

YI+MU Design Office. Co-founded by Yi Chen and Muchen Zhang in 2002, the firm is a space de­sign prac­tice based in Bei­jing, China with a branch in Van­cou­ver, Canada. Both of them have been grad­u­ated from the Cen­tral Acad­emy of Fine Arts, and their artis­tic cre­ation has con­tin­ued since 1994. They started to en­gage in space de­sign in 2000 and co-cre­ated Bei­jing Fenghe­muchen in 2002. In 2005, they moved to Canada to start cre­ation in Van­cou­ver and Bei­jing. With di­ver­si­fied space de­sign works, they have held many in­di­vid­ual art ex­hi­bi­tions and space in­stal­la­tion ex­hi­bi­tions. Over the years, they have gained a rep­u­ta­tion in the de­sign in­dus­try and won a lot of de­sign awards both at home and abroad.

Their de­sign usu­ally pre­sents a wide and open multi-per­spec­tive, in­te­grat­ing East and West cul­ture freely and ap­pro­pri­ately, and in­ter­pret­ing ori­en­tal cul­ture and its spir­i­tual mean­ing in a fresher, more ob­jec­tive, and more rec­og­niz­able way.
