Studio Boey
Studio Boey is run by Chinese designer Boey Wang based in Eindhoven the Netherlands. Wang is a graduate of Design Academy Eindhoven’s Man and Wellbeing department. With a keen focus on the sense of touch, the studio specializes in crafting products that immerse users in tactile experiences and other non-visual senses, challenging conventional visually dominated design perceptions. Wang’s practice extends beyond mere functionality, embracing social inclusivity as a guiding principle. Integrating product design, social research, and education, his approach promotes universal accessibility, inviting individuals of all backgrounds to engage with his creations. Leveraging cognitive insights, Wang identifies opportunities for inclusive solutions, offering a unique perspective that invites viewers to perceive the world with new senses.
Studio Boey 由中国产品设计师王勃在荷兰产创办，他是一位/ 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。受到盲人观看世界方式的启发，本工作室巧妙地将触觉逻辑融入到功能设计中，让使用者直觉地体验新的使用方式，挑战传统以视觉为主导的设计观念。他们的实践超越了功能性，作为多数人共享的感官媒介，巧妙地规避了视觉所形成的固有观念，将盲人和健全人群平等对待，将他们的非视觉角度作为探索已知世界的新途径，以包容的方式将少数族群纳入社会生活里。
Studio Boey的作品曾获得过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。
