made in void space design

“Void” is a conceptual framework for reasoning about the environment, much like how we imagine the contours of various materials and construction techniques within a space. The team focuses on interior and exhibition design, transforming creative ideas into tangible spatial experiences through in-depth exploration of design concepts and practical processes. Each design process is like an experiment, constantly testing material choices and technical applications across diverse spatial settings, striving to achieve a perfect balance between creativity and functionality. Made in void is also a form of inference: in such an environment, how will design and materials manifest themselves? We are dedicated to exploring these possibilities, infusing each project with unique spatial charm.
