How do you keep up with latest design trends? To what extent do design trends matter?

What is your biggest design work?

TCM : Buna Café is a work worth exploring. Because it needs a large hinterland, the predecessor is a store that has been changing stores. However, after being packaged by designers, the performance will continue to grow steadily. Of course, it also needs good food. In order to allow customers to pay.The hinterland always needs some time as a source of design thinking, especially when the congenital conditions are bad, it is more necessary to think about how to create better conditions to attract customers to the door and break through the predecessor's dilemma, which will create a better future.

Music is also one of the most responsive tools to appear in fashion trends, but because Taiwanese are a relatively saving nation, interior design is actually quite hard, and sometimes it needs to be imagined, so the use of materials will be different here.
