Portrait by Boudewijn Bollmann

Boey Wang 王勃

Born in China, a Netherlands-based comic artist, UX and product designer, graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven's Man and Wellbeing department. A narrator at heart, Wang is drawn to stories – or rather, the attempt to visualise - mundane moments in life that are too often overlooked, responding to them with a unique humanistic touch. He developed a unique design approach from the sense of touch. It is a universal design method for creating objects from the sense of touch and is accessible to all. From functional detail to the socially inclusive context, his design practice forms a value system consisting of product design, social research and education. 


His creative practice has been selected as an example of future Dutch Design by the World Embassy during Dutch Design Week 2022. His was granted by the Talent Development program of the Creative Industry Netherlands. His works won the top awards in the design field, such as the double IF Design Talent Award, the Dezeen Design Award longlist, the James Dyson Award, the national winner of the Netherlands etc.

 

产品设计师/ UX设计师/ 漫画作者。毕业于荷兰埃因霍芬设计学院Man and Wellbeing专业。

王勃的作品充满人文关怀,他以反常识的视角重新设计诸多人们日常生活中习以为常的器物,希望人们通过使用的体验与感受关注个体间的差异和独特之处,对以视觉和功能性为主导的设计进行反思,希望把观众带回到一种对世界没有既定条框,充满好奇和态度开放的状态。他的作品曾获得过双 iF Design Talent Award, Dezeen Award 长名单,James Dyson Award 戴森设计奖等多个顶尖设计奖项,同时他也获得荷兰文化产业基金 Stimulersfonds 的2021-2022天才培养计划。
