“微客”来源于“微设计”的哲学思考。“微”字最早出现在甲古文中，其涵义为：老人拄杖缓行，用以形容老年人微颤的形象。现代汉语中则理解为：体量上之细小，程度上之轻弱与表象上之隐约不明。微设计，以中国传统的哲学观看待人——物——环境三者和谐统一的关系。人之于物微小的改变以求其精，从而创造万物共生平衡之自然状态。物被人感知的程度依据人的内心而不断发生着变化；由物所构成的环境，最终以整体效果知觉作用于人。于是我们开始将物与人置于整体环境中重新思考，并试图找到三者和谐共生的最佳平衡点。以精微细小的方式善待物且改变物，以此达到对整体环境最小的破坏 是微客一直希望传达的设计理念，并希望以此微小力量酝酿巨大的改变。

The word ‘NANOIN’ came from philosophical reflection of micro design. The Chinese word ‘wei’（with the same meaning of micro） appeared earliest in Oracle with the meaning of ‘old people walking slowly with crutch’. That was used to describe elder’s weak image. Modern Chinese explains this word including 3 key meanings: small size, softly and vague. Micro design, using traditional Chinese philosophy to balance the relationship of human, objects and environment. Human changes objects carefully in order to make everything develops correctly and naturally. The extent of that people feel the object depends on people’s mind. Miscellaneous objects constitute the environment and the integral effect influences the sense of human. So we put both object and human to the whole environment to discuss their future for the purpose of getting the best equilibrium point. Treating object gently and changing object carefully is a way to mitigate burden on the environment. Also is what NANOIN always want to say. We hope these small efforts could be eventually aggregated to be a great change of our living home.
