VIA 法国设计的摇篮——访VIA总监Gérard Laizé先生

VIA,the Cradle of French Design

任何东西进入另一个国家一定会需要改良。如在法国有中国餐厅、日本餐厅、摩纳哥餐厅,这些餐厅已都进行了改良,变成法国人可以接受的食品。再回到设计,东西方设计是有差异的,法国的创意设计比意大利晚起步20年,但今天用欧洲的观念看,已经在同一水平线上。

Anything before entering into another country must need improvement,foreign example, the restaurant of Chinese,Japanese,Monaco in France are all improved to provide the acceptable food for the French.Back to the topic of design,it is quite different between the East and the West.The starting of creativity design in France was 20 years later than that in Italy.But now they are ranged in the same level according to the concept of Europe. Creativity was originated with the duplication.Many countries in the world once all duplicated the concept of Italy,and then combined with different national cultures, established their own brand.Japanese designers of first generation copied the style and concept of Italy,and formed their style since then.A good replica means the replicafor knows how to do.Duplication is the act of infringing the intellectual property rights.From anther side,however,world trends are always like duplicating first,being ego after.There is no good for those 100% duplicated,but it is a better tendency to duplicate involving their own creativities.If is a common sense to inherit traditional culture by absorb the previous essence.As a fact,many designers are always being aspired to create their works when looking into the previous things.We can see that the advantage of Asian people is those who are good at selecting the essence and abandoning the dross.
