DESIGN ART TOKYO x Playing With Fire

This year, Johnny Chiu returns to DESIGNART TOKYO, with the mysterious element that sparked human civilization -- FIRE!

Collaborating with the award-winning Lovinflame, which spent 10 years exploring fire, using a water-soluble, non-toxic fuel that only ignites at 104 Celsius, to produce real, safe, clean-burning, magically orange flames. Johnny will attempt to redesign the sensuality of Lovinflame's fire into various interpretations of Mount Fuji, a symbol of the spirit of Japan.

The installation will be on Tokyo's fashionable Omotesando boulevard at FrancFranc's premium brand “MODERN WORKS AOYAMA Limited Store”, newly opened in April this year to much acclaim. We invite you to come play with fire together and allow your senses to experience a glorious redefinition of your relationship with fire and spirit.

Taipei Shanghai City Forum 2018 - Visual Design

柏成設計很榮幸今年亦受邀於臺北市政府為城市論壇設計主視覺，2018年台北上海城市論壇的主題為「永續的城市、永續的發展」，在城市經濟發展，日益躍升的同時，也面對地球資源耗竭危機，城市應建立包容、永續的經營，來推動、社會發展與環境保護。

上海與台北，來自相同的東方底蘊，城市景觀也有許多相似之處，好比舊城廓的磚造街屋，市中心不斷拔高的現代建築，我們汲取老屋紅磚與帷幕大樓之顏色，以活潑鮮明的色調，輝映快速代謝、新舊雜陳的城市情境。循環永續本是沒有起點，沒有終點，不存在於單一時間軸上，我們發想自德國數學家莫比烏斯（August F. Möbius）的莫比烏斯環，將數學無限循環套上2018數字輪廓，結合雙城城市意象，以線條化、簡約化為核心思路，傳達本次「循環永續」的視覺概念。

As this year's theme evolves around circular economy, we focus on the idea of bricks (old) and glass (modern), redesign these two contrasting materials into a mobious strip, forever intertwining culture and future, together.

Bring Happier cafe to TOKYO!

Happier café, designed and built in Taiwan from 2016 for a 6-month installation inside an old air force library in the middle of Taipei. The project won lots of international awards, such as Japan GOOD DESIGN Award, American Best of year Award, IIDA Interior Design Competition, INSIDE Award, Taiwan Interior Design Award, China I-ding International Award, Golden Pin Award, etc.

As a short-term project, Happier cafe ends is 2017.

But this year, Happier café is invited by 2018 DESIGNART TOKYO, going to exhibit in Tokyo Midtown!

With new material to reproduce Happier cafe in Tokyo, we hope to bring a new perspective of Taiwan to Japan, and look forward to bursting different thinking for both of our countries.

JCA x MUKA arquitectura

JCA is always trying to reach out to the world with designs, and find opportunities that can collaborate and share our vision across the globe. We are excited to announce the great news that we have just signed an agreement with MUKAarquitectura of Spain to collaborate projects that will span from Asia to Europe.

今年夏天，一項橫跨歐亞兩大洲的設計合作計畫，正式開始。

柏成設計一直致力於國際化的思考與跨領域的結合，期待將設計帶入生活的每一個角落。帶著這樣的願景，我們展開了與西班牙設計公司 MUKAarqhitectura的合作計畫，藉由兩位員工來台交換，於台灣設計專案的合作，能攜手促進台灣與西班牙的文化與技術交流。

Johnny Chiu has known Moisés Royo Márquez, the founder of MUKA over 10 years, an award-winning architect and practice that has been able to redefine the new Spanish design.

During this summer, JCA will have 2 MUKA employees in Taiwan to be working together on several projects, joining forces and fostering cultural and technical exchanges between Taiwan and Spain.

What that means is that investors that want to work in Asia and Europe can leverage our joint infrastructure to address projects globally. The future is always born of new alliances that strive to facilitate communication and work.
