This book is a monograph on designer Hong Wei, featuring his representative works across calligraphy, graphic design, objects, and furniture. Divided into five chapters, it begins with an interview that explores his ideas and understanding of design. A slightly smaller, dark-green insert page—hidden among spreads patterned with the artist’s brushstroke doodles—sets the tone and foundation for the entire narrative.

The presentation of works starts with calligraphy, revealing an original mode of perception and expression rooted in Eastern cultural contexts before the emergence of images; it then moves to the professional language of traditional graphic design, and finally extends to objects and furniture—design in broader spatial dimensions. Through this progression, the book outlines the designer’s construction of an Eastern aesthetic.

The title One Two Three Four Five also emphasizes the personal journey a visual designer must take. The calm narration, interspersed with subtle rhythmic accents, together with photography that shapes tonal, chromatic, and textural nuances, endows the works with a quiet, distilled sense of form that transcends the everyday.

本书是设计家洪卫的作品集，
收录了他在书法、平面、器物、家具领域的经典作品。
整本书分为五个章节，以“访谈”作为叙事的起点，
挖掘其思想和对设计的理解，
尺寸略小的墨绿色贴页掩映在作者毛笔涂鸦暗纹的页面间，
奠定所有表达的根基。作品的展陈从书法开始，通过东方文化的语境，
呈现图像之前对事物的原初理解表达；
至传统平面视觉的专业语言；进而扩展至空间中的器物，
更大空间含义上的家具。
通过此种串联，勾勒出设计家对于东方审美的建构；
“一二三四五”的书名亦强调了个体视角下，一个视觉设计师需要走过的路。
平缓的叙述穿插微妙轻巧的节奏点缀，通过摄影对影调、色彩、质感的塑造，
赋予作品日常语境外沉静、简括的形式趣味。
