Elson Lin
Founder of Termino
We spoke with Elson Lin, founder of Termino, about his approach to simplicity, the importance of drawing, and the people who shape his perspective on design. Taking inspiration from Taiwan and its approach to making the most of small spaces, Elson believes in creating with less, focusing on functionality, honest materials, and timelessness. In Berlin, inspiration comes through conversations with architects, artists, and designers, as well as the city itself, a place he describes as sexy, and, in summer, seen through a yellow filter that seems to make everyone happier.
Elson Lin - "I really believe in the quote "Less is more." I try to use less material and less design to make it more minimal and timeless."
Elson Lin
"I’m not a native English speaker. So I think drawing is crucial for me. I always draw the process and share it with my colleagues so they can understand my ideas better."
Elson Lin
"I think Berlin’s a really sexy city. But I don’t like rain."
