by Yen

Yen 是個熱愛廚房的設計師,專注於飲食設計、研究和書寫,並於 2021 年創辦了鼻子設計所 Snout Design Lab。

鼻子設計所 Snout Design Lab (SDL),名字來自德文俗語 Berliner Schnauze(柏林鼻子),用來形容柏林口音和粗魯傲慢的柏林式幽默,也是 Yen 在柏林書寫心情的專頁名稱。一則笑話是這樣的,旅人詢問柏林人:「請問亞歷山大廣場在哪裡?」柏林人答道:「在跟昨天一樣的地方。」

鼻子核心為幽默、突破框架、且給予力量,有時直白得冒犯,卻又帶來溫暖。Yen 期許自己延續這樣的精神,用食物做實驗,走一條十年的路。

Yen is an integrated designer focusing on food and eating experience design. Stand by her philosophy that food is a powerful channel to perceive, utter and connect, she initiates projects in forms of workshops, research, visual design, photography, and writing. In 2021, she founded Snout Design Lab (SDL).

食物是我和世界連結的方式。它把各地人們的故事帶到我眼前,跟隨他們料理的手法,我一步步地,將他們的生命,轉化為我的生命。

Food links me to the outside world. It visualises those stories of people who prepare, cook and eat. Following their steps of food, I transfer their minds into mine.
