What is your firm’s design identity?
At DSOD Interior, we believe in understanding the fundamentals of design – line, proportion, space appreciation, and colour combination. This is so that we can create and rediscover a whole new spatial experience.
What makes your firm and its work unique?
We draw inspiration by communicating with the clients through a series of constructive dialogues. Only then are we able to create tailored design solutions that suit their lifestyle. Rather than imposing one common interior design language, we let every space have its own character with its own distinct flavour.
What is your best design advice?
Good design is not about hunting the best materials, but rather finding the right soul of one’s lifestyle. There is no right and wrong in design. That’s because every creation tells a story, and it’s how you tell the story that matters.
“Our style is chameleonic, it adapts and evolves as needed.”
– Don Lin, Founder
