the wheel chair / designed by company Küschall
This product made by company Küschall , It was the most lightest wheel chair on the world. In this product, I consider about the convenience of products for the disabled. For example, I tried to think about if the wheel chair really convenient for the users? Is it practical ? Is the material suitable for this kind of product?
Stacking chair / designed by Alejandro Estrada
We can see there are some chairs now used the stacking way to make. I thought stacking is the easiest way to build the structure beautiful. However, i found these chairs are too structured but the functions should be consider when designing my chair in this project.
Stacking chair / designed by Almaty,Kazakhstan
Turning chairs and table / designed by Karolina Tylka
I thought this kind of table is suitable for using in the public place or the place which have enough users. It can really save the place and use the product in different situation. However i think the designer have to think about the size but the functions are really good.
mechanic engineering (rotate/rolling)
The photo was taken at the science museum. I can see so much mechanic engineering here and the scientist try to reach their purpose by designing different movement. They inspired me of using the mechanic to design the functions of my product. The main purpose i have to achieve is to design the functions of the product with using different movement.
The clock (rotate)
The clock is made of different mechanic with using gears and chain. Although the clock can be small like a watch, the movement of the gears can produce value which can not be calculated. With designing the product appropriately, the mechanic can help a lot by considering it carefully.
Transportation
The most general movement product is the transportation such as car, bike or bus. The picture was taken at Oxford Circus which people are in hurry to go home. I can see the movement can be used for saving time and making users manage their time efficiently.
Faceted product
In my opinions, I think surface can be one of the functionality of a product which can protect or improve the standard of it. There are some famous bags used the design of faceted characteristic but i think all of them are not functional. If there is a chance to design an accessory, i would care about the material i used not only for the appearance but also the functionality
Neon
This lighting resource composed of neon which can be shown as red. To make it into different color, it has to be added fluorescent powder. If artists want to make a bending or spiral shape, it is a good choice for them to use this resource because of the diffusion of the neon.
Spiral
In the lighting project, I want to explore the way to bend different shape. The spiral appearance is the most simple one basically but there will be a little bit boring if there is just spire.
Chinese Traditional colors
Since i want to do works about fabrics ink, i find out Chinese Traditional Colors are suitable for the topics. The colors give me the idea of how to use the color appropriately on my product.
Wheel chair with handrail / Come from Red Dot Award
I think the product is so useful but simple that it doesn't complicated but can be practical for the medical use. In my concept of the project, I want to make my product easy but practical to use for the daily life.
Wheel chair with movable seat / designed by Cha Inseon
The concept of the product is quite similar with my first idea. The product focus on how to reduce the hurt when moving the patient. However, It ignore a lot of possibilities of making it more functional and the practical problem. In my opinions, the seat will be stuck when moving the patient because the weight of the patients.
Wheel chair with the bed / designed by Lirong Yang
This product is the most similar with the ideas in my brain. With using this kind of product, the patients don't have to suffered from the process of moving to the wheel chair. Moreover, Because the functions are combined , this product can help users saving place appropriately.
ICU bed / designed by SARANG SHETH
Stacking and spiral chair / designed by Ahmed El Husseiny
It is important for a designer to learn how to design the appearance of the product natural and beautiful. This chair managed the angle of the spiral and the size properly. I think it is not exaggerate but can show the beauty of the shape.
The chair which can be stored
I think the size can be very important for any products because depend on the different size of the product, it can be used is variety place. For this product, If the size is small enough, after folding the chair into the small one, the users can bring the chair to anywhere easily.
Structure Chair / designed by tom begnal
This chair have beautiful appearance and stable structure. However, If we looking at the chair closely, there are too many unnecessary parts. Designer can achieve same purpose with using more easiest way. The chair seems to be complicated but no function.
The science museum
The science museum give me so many ideas of thinking how to move the product. When i was doing the primary research at the Oxford Circus and London, I was looking for the transportation the most, I think i was being restricted by the idea i was thinking before. However, when i was doing research in the science museum, i can find so many possibilities of this project. With different moving way, the product can be so genius depend on the designer. I can see the designer using different mechanic to make their products work and found that the movement happened in everywhere.
Steam machine
The machine made in industrial revolution is so interesting that we can see the scientists and designers have so many ideas of producing different product. In that generation, people always use the mechanic engineering to achieve there purpose efficiently. Compared with this generation, we use technology to save our time as well. Although the technology replaced some of the mechanic now, the mechanic is a things that a great product design have to learn
Escalator (rolling)
The escalator is a convenient facility for our daily use. Not only for convenience but also help the people who can not walk onto the stairs. The movement can greatly help the people who are disabled. The escalator is made of roll and axle, the stairs repeated rolling by using the mechanic engineering.
Movement project
In the project this time, I decided to go to the Oxford Street, London Eye and the Science Museum to do the primary research. In the project before, I always did the research around my daily life so i decided to do the research at the place that can give me different inspiration and have new ideas.
Fragile installation
This installation design build up a place that can make people walk into it. I thought it was special because the silk line the designer used create a feeling that the viewers will walk into it carefully by the fragile ingredients. Moreover, it may create a feeling that viewer will think they be restricted in the area because of the dense line surrounding them.
knotted accessories
In this work, I thought the design is beautiful but too simple. The concept of the work is clear but it may have more designing action. It can be changing the material into variety ingredients or using the colors to represent some symbols. I thought most of the aborigines have some customs made of knitting techniques so maybe the designer can choose some nature materials such as plants or animal skin to make the work more various.
Optical fiber
Optical fiber is a light resource that i think is very unique. Although the material seemed to be beautiful and special, it is hard to get it or the cost will be expensive.
Line
The angle of the line is the key to make a work looks balance. When i was drawing sketches of my project, I found that it is difficult to strike a balance between the size and angle.
Connection
This light is quite interesting because all of the parts of this works have connection. I thought it is very important to consider the connection of each part of the work. If there is no connection in the portfolio, It can be very discordant.
Masochism (environment)
The news gives the information about the experts found that one of the fungus can decomposed the plastic by using the solar power. The solar power can stimulate the fungus to start decomposing the plastic and make plastic into food.
Morandi colours
"Morandi Colors" is a series of color named by the artist Giorgio Morandi who used them to create still-life paintings. These colors seem to be covered by a layer of gray. Every part of the color is the intermediate color of gray. So the series of color usually called as "Morandi Colors" or "Advanced gray". I think the colors are very elegant that seem to look like traditional colors in China so I take a look of the information to find out if it is suitable for fabric inks.
Wheel chair with crutch / designed by Heikki Juvonen
The main purpose of this product is to make the users more convenient when they need wheel chair and crutch at the same time. Additionally, it can save place with combine two functions into one product. It inspired to think about the place to put the product i designed, Is the size suitable for a general house? If it can be folded, can it save more place?
3-D model of wheel chair / designed by Benjamin Hubert
Multi-functional bed / designed by Qi Qiu, Xin Guo & Ning Wang.
The product is designed by Qi Qiu, Xin Guo & Ning Wang. It inspired me to do the chair with making it multi-functional. There are so many products that we can see in the hospital but i found most of them are too big and inconvenient. As a result, I was thinking about doing a wheel chair which combined the function of the medical bed with saving the place and reduce the hurt of the patients when they are moving.
Flexible Furniture
I think this kind of furniture is very useful for the people who want to save the place. This product use the stacking skill to hide some parts of the chairs. In my idea, I refer this kind of furniture but still thinking about where can my product use and who are my product for.
The spiral chair / designed by Jolyon Yates
In this product, I thought the designer want to show the skill of designing the appearance, we can see the angle is beautiful. Additionally, the structure seems to be unstable but actually it can stand steadily. For designing a chair, we have to consider how to design the structure and make the chair stand stable.
Structured chair / designed by Wladyslaw Wolkowski
Movement in daily life
There are some products we can see in daily life that i found that i have to think about how to "move" my product carefully. I would like to focus on the value i can produce by designing great functions. Such as the clocks, people didn't care about the movement of the clock but they did need clocks definitely.
Faceted product
The product only have the beauty appearance but ignore the functionality that can be used on the project. I think the faceted surface can use for cutting things. It can be used on blender or cutting machine.
Textured surface
The textured surface of the tire can increase the friction which can stop the car when the accident happened. It gives me the idea of using the functionality of the surface to make my project.
Textured art
The work is made by the artist Vilde J. Rolfsen. The artist used the plastic bag making an art work which looks like a cave when i first saw it. It is interesting that he used the normal materials to make the characteristic of the plastic looks like the textured surface. He also refer to the ecological issue who used rubbish to make an great art work.
Infrared
If you want to do something about reflection, it can be a good choice to use infrared. I thought operating the reflection or refraction by using different mediums can be interesting.
LED
It was hard to decide light resource of a lighting work when i was doing light and shadow project before because the sorts may affect the result the work showed. LED is a common thing we have seen if daily life which is easy to get one and the size is small. However, Since it was using battery, the LED will not be able to be too light.
Stacking
Basically the most common way for artists to make works. When the amount of the materials adding to a greater degree, The gorgeous of the stacking can be seen by this simple way.
Masochism (animals)
The environmental issue give me some ideas about masochism because i think the animals which suffered from the environment are the masochism. Animals have to eat the food with garbage but they have to be harmed by the rubbish inside their body.
Iron maiden
Iron maiden is a torture instrument that used in the middle ages. I think iron maiden is an special torture instrument because of its appearance looks like Blessed Virgin Mary. Interestingly, It has a sacred exterior with the cruel use
