Hung Wen Liang
Translating Culture Through Design
Hung Wen-Liang is a Taiwanese designer whose practice began in spatial design. His interior work is grounded in minimalism, drawing maximum spatial potential from the lightest material intervention—an approach recognized internationally with Germany’s iF Design Award and Red Dot Design Award.
From this foundation, he gradually extended into furniture design, treating the work as an ongoing process of cultivation. Rather than pursue form for its own sake, he refines through repeated attention to subtle differences, recalibrating until structure, proportion, and tactility settle into a state that feels naturally formed.
His furniture language is rooted in local culture while embracing the restraint of Nordic design. He frames his methodology as “Preserving Essence, Transforming Form”—retaining intrinsic qualities while allowing form to evolve across contexts.

Saddle Leather | Basic Care
Saddle leather is a natural material that develops subtle changes in color, texture, and sheen over time and with use, creating a unique patina. For everyday care, keep the leather dry, remove dust regularly, and avoid excessive cleaning. Gently wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. For minor stains, use a slightly damp soft cloth and allow the leather to air-dry naturally in a well-ventilated area. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, high temperatures, humidity, or excessive moisture. Do not use alcohol, household cleaners, or chemical solvents on the leather. If leather conditioner, cream, or oil is used, choose a product specifically formulated for natural vegetable-tanned or saddle leather, and always test a small amount on an inconspicuous area first. Leather care products may naturally darken the leather.
