Dahua Yin
Dahua Yin born into a family of master carpenters, Dahua Yin grew up surrounded by the spirit of traditional Chinese woodworking. His grandfather, Yin Hongqiang, is a highly respected woodcraft master in China, known for preserving a deep heritage of material wisdom and structural aesthetics.
While continuing his family’s artisanal lineage, Yin has developed a distinct creative language through cross-cultural exchange. His collaboration with Finnish design legend Yrjö Kukkapuro left a lasting impact, drawing him toward the Nordic philosophy of “form follows function.” His work now bridges the precision of Chinese joinery with the structural clarity of Nordic furniture, forming a uniquely contemporary woodcraft idiom.
Yin primarily works with solid oak, crafting each piece by hand through a process of cutting, joining, sanding, and oxidizing. His structures are built with the fewest possible components—yet they radiate maximum tension, revealing the quiet power and warmth of wood. Sculptural in presence and functional in purpose, his pieces embody a disciplined poetry of proportion, rhythm, and material honesty.
In Daoist cosmology, wood corresponds to the east, signifying growth, rhythm, and upward energy. Yin’s creations quietly carry this momentum—they stand in a space like trees growing in a forest: full of strength, yet deeply silent..
SOTACA on Dahua Yin

SOTACA Pairing Note
Yin’s oak furniture and objects adapt beautifully to minimalist, modern, wabi-sabi, vintage, or even rustic interiors. Pair with natural stone, textured fabrics, and soft neutral lighting, or layer among timber furniture, linen drapes, and quiet-toned artwork. Whether in a meditative gallery, modern apartment, or countryside retreat, his works anchor the space—never loud, but always present.
印大花成长于木作世家，祖父印洪强是中国知名木艺大师，传承着中国传统的木工技艺与器物精神。印大花延续家族技艺，同时也在跨文化交流中发展出独立的创作语言。
他曾与芬兰设计大师 Yrjö Kukkapuro 合作，深受北欧家具所代表的“形式服务功能”哲学影响。于是，他的作品融合了东方木工的精微手作与北欧家具的结构简洁，形成一种独特的当代“木作语言”。
他以橡木为主要媒材，用最少的构件完成最有张力的结构。每件作品皆为手工打造，经由切割、拼接、打磨、氧化等多个阶段，展现出木质本身的力量与温度。作品既有雕塑的存在感，也保留家具的实用功能。
印大花的创作拒绝多余的装饰，却在比例、线条与结构中注入克制的诗性。他以木为语，讲述人与自然、身体与空间之间的静默关系。
在五行哲学中，木属东方，对应生长、律动与向上之力。印大花的作品正承载着这股气场——它们安静地立于空间中，如同山林中缓慢生长的树，饱含力量却不言语。
SOTACA 致 印大花
我们在印大花的作品中看见一种文化融合下的木作智慧。他对“结构”的精准拿捏，是对木材的尊重，更是对美学与身体经验的深度探索。
SOTACA 搭配建议
印大花的作品具备极高的空间适配性，适合融入极简、现代、侘寂、复古甚至乡村风格之中。推荐与天然石材、细纹织物与留白墙面搭配，亦可叠加木质家具、亚麻窗帘、静谧色彩的艺术画作，营造出一种自由流动、富有节制的空间气息。其作品在多样环境中皆能自成焦点，却不过分喧哗，恰到好处地维系空间的呼吸感。
