Michael Young于1966年出生在英国森德兰。他在英国伦敦金斯敦大学学习家具和产品设计,然后在伦敦开办了MY-022设计公司。他的事业跨度长达15年。在他的事业初期,由于他对类型学和人们习性的不懈探寻,对技术创新的无限热情,使他成为他所在领域的最具吸引力的领军人物之一。作品
his project approach effortlessly blends east and west,
past and future. it is design as industrial art that interests him,
not in a limited edition, but in mass-production.

offices in london, iceland and taiwan.
他的设计总能轻松地把东西方文化、过去和未来结合在一起。工业美术设计是能让他着迷的东西,特别是那些能大规模生产的产品设计,而非限量版的产品设计。Michael Young现在居住在香港,他在伦敦、冰岛和台湾都建有公司。
ps:值得一提的是Michael Young还参与了今年8月的2010年iF中国设计大奖的初评选,而得奖的作品将在10月中的杭州文博会上展出。
推荐理由:
作为当代世界设计界最有影响力的设计师之一,Michael Young为世人带来了Wood Chair、Yogi Family等诸多著名家具系列,被认为是开创了新家具的典范,创造了设计界崭新的语言。Michael Young的创造领域里没有界限,只要是对于物体以及它们的使用和外化的表现充满激情,其余的并不重要。
正如设计双年展总监Max Borka曾说过:“Micheal Young的作品被广泛复制,到了今天,要超越他的成就似乎已不可能。”
