Livenon Seeks the Light: Inviting You to Co-Construct New Frontiers in Furniture Design
When furniture is no longer a cold functional carrier, and when the dialogue between space and life requires more delicate expression, Livenon deeply understands that only creative and speculative design power can make every piece of work a warm medium connecting people and life. Now, we officially launch our furniture designer recruitment program, looking forward to walking alongside idealistic designers to reshape the infinite possibilities of home design through unconventional exploration.
Why Now? The Awakening of Livenon’s Design Philosophy
In Livenon’s worldview, furniture has never been an isolated object. We have seen too many home spaces kidnapped by “standard sizes” and “style templates” — small apartments forced to fit into mini sofas, large living rooms fragmented by modular furniture sets. People, under the discipline of “this is how it should be”, gradually forget their true needs of “how I want to live”. It is this reflection on the status quo that strengthens our determination to find designers who resonate with us.
We believe that excellent furniture design should possess the dual genes of “spatial adaptability” and “life inclusiveness”. Just as we once challenged the assumption that “small apartments must have small sofas” — in a 35-square-meter LOFT, a 1.2-meter-deep curved sofa dissolves the sense of spatial oppression with its embracing design. It not only becomes a private corner for the owner to curl up and read, but also unfolds into a temporary resting area when friends visit. This practice of “solving spatial contradictions through design” is the direction Livenon is determined to deepen.
We Envision You: More Than a Designer, but an Observer of Life
In Livenon’s team, “being able to draw” is only the foundation. We cherish souls who can extract inspiration from the folds of life. If you are used to observing strangers’ sitting postures in cafes, pause for a repaired rattan chair in old alleys, or see the load-bearing logic of furniture in the structure of bamboo baskets at the vegetable market, then you may be the one we are waiting for.
We hope you have “anti-consensus design thinking”: when the industry defaults that “minimalism is just subtraction”, you dare to create restrained luxury by colliding warm wood veneer with metal lines; when everyone chases the trend of “smart furniture”, you can calm down to study how the skin-friendliness of a fabric affects sleep quality. In material selection, you understand the delicacy of Italian leather and appreciate the vicissitudes of recycled old wood; in functional innovation, you can make a dining table switch between “work — dining — storage” modes, or turn a chair into an art installation in the living room.
Here, You Will Gain More Than a Job, but a Soil for Growth
Joining Livenon, you don’t have to compromise your design original intention for commercial interests. We provide designers with an independent material laboratory, where you can freely conduct material experiments — from Nordic pine to Southeast Asian rattan, from new environmentally friendly panels to traditional mortise-and-tenon craftsmanship.
The quarterly “theme-free creation week” allows you to break away from project constraints and create purely to explore the essence of design. Outstanding works will be included in Livenon’s annual limited series.
More importantly, you will directly participate in the entire process from concept sketches to mass production. Our supply chain team will be your strongest backing — when your design involves special curved surface cutting, engineers will optimize the structure with you; when you want to use intangible cultural heritage lacquer art for the tabletop, we will collaborate with craftsmen’s workshops to realize the craftsmanship. Here, design will not stay on the drawing board, but truly enter people’s life scenarios.
How to Join This Design Adventure?
If you agree with the concept that “design should serve real life”, feel free to send your portfolio and a handwritten design manifesto to our recruitment email. The portfolio must include: three original furniture designs that best represent your personal style (with explanations of design inspiration and solved life pain points), and a “review of your most unsatisfactory design” — we believe that in-depth reflection on failure better demonstrates design capability than perfect results.
In Livenon’s office, a sunlit workbench has been reserved for new partners, with collected old furniture parts from around the world on it. We don’t care about your educational background or work experience; we only care about the passion for design in your eyes and the reverence for life in your heart.
The next era of home design should not be defined by assembly lines, but co-written by those who believe “design can change life”.
Livenon hereby extends an invitation: Let us work together to make every piece of furniture a poetic footnote to life.
