Minhan Lin

Minhan Lin is co-founder and interior design director of Union Atelier (合聿設計), the Taipei practice he set up in 2013 with brand designer Weiche Wu. The studio pairs interior work with branding, so that a shop, clinic or restaurant and its identity are developed as one project rather than two separate commissions.

Most of the interiors are commercial — tea shops and coffee bars, restaurants, dental practices and counselling clinics — alongside residential work through the studio’s Living department. Projects include SPINNEAT, the Song Zhi counselling practice, the second Matsumoto milk tea store and the Far Far Farm drinks brand, and each is documented on the site with the thinking behind it. Union Atelier works from Xinyi District in Taipei.
