Mingchuan Yang
About
Mingchuan Yang (China, 2000) is a designer who focuses on user behavior regarding products, and how to amplify their senses by creating authentic and realistic interactions.
During his journey at RCA, he focuses on designing furniture that changes people’s perspectives on daily life. In 2024, Mingchuan created 70% Furniture project, which presents a set of furniture that blurs functions and spaces, providing an “OKAY” way of living. It aims to reduce the psychological burden of maintaining home environment by presenting a more flexible, manageable approach to daily living. It presents a new possibility of modern life style, asking user: when more and more people start piling clothes on chairs, should we still use a perfectly organized wardrobe as our living standard? Does a wardrobe even still fit our lives?
In Mingchuan’s opinion, design is always about balance, but it also involves skillfully breaking that balance based on the designer’s unique insights.
