Keeping an Old Chair: Roy Yang of 沐朋設計 on Thinking About Home

Roy Yang of 沐朋設計 works across both residential and commercial spaces. Rather than imposing a single style on every project, he pays more attention to how people actually use a space, and how collections, light, and activities come together to shape it.

In one residential case, a chair the homeowner had kept for about forty years was carefully restored and placed in the shared area of the new home; in other projects, art collections become the starting point for circulation paths and curved forms. Objects are not merely decorations added at the end—they can also be the earliest clue to a design.

When preparing to arrange your own home, start by listing the furniture and habits you truly want to keep, then decide what needs to change. Leaving room for the future means a home can continue to adjust along with life, rather than needing every corner filled on the day you move in.
