Work 9 / 9
Draft design of CIDC interior was finished in May 2012. There are 4 concerns in my design. 1. How to balance two functional spaces, meeting room and working room? 2. What’s the ventilation solution for the space without any window? 3. What’s the visual identify element for space division? 4. How to hide the storage space technically? And my solutions are as follows. 1. Place two functional spaces on each side of the corridor right from the main gate without any hard partition, and the main gate is made of glass for sunshine to go through. 2. Use of frosted glass and semi partition to create good ventilation. 3. Application of wooden veneering in outward and inward to separate spaces. I call it sausage-cutting solution. 4. To rise the reading space and get the storage room beneath it.
Saimaa was designed in December 2012, focusing on Finland market. The name comes from the biggest freshwater lake in Mikkeli. The lake Saimaa is deep in my mind with peaceful blue. Base of the sofa is raised up and can be separated from the seat back for easy-transportation concern. It is produce by Shunde Si Gao co., Ltd in Guangdong and invited in 30th International Famous Furniture Fair (Dong Guan).
Regal was designed for Design Space Co., Ltd., Korea in July 2007, focusing on single people. This chair was carried out by the agent Hangzhou Light Industrial Products, Arts & Crafts, Textiles I/E Co., Ltd in a factory located in HengDian, Zhe Jiang Province. The factory, used to produce exhibition shelf, was about to close down at that time. Regal is re-design of their stocks and successfully saved workers from laying off.
Invited by Shantou University (STU), I designed and executed an exhibition for Antarctica Expedition in the new administration center in June 2013. The Antarctica Expedition is a practical program of research for STU representatives, fully support by Li Ka Shing Foundation. They approved of my first proposal and increased the budget for this exhibition. However they also raised the expectation and requirement, which raised also the requirements of producing techniques. This successful exhibition design was solely applied the principle of 2 Dimension into 3 Dimension. One of the biggest attraction is the presentation of the whole skeleton.
Platonische Koerper, is platonic solid in Germen. They are trihedron, hexahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron and icosahedron. They greatly inspired me in design. Different application of golden section on hexahedron to get the other four objects is an endless study and exploring process. Following are models I used in my courses in Cheung Kong School of Art & Design (CKAD). They are cores of product design education. They are also with my great appreciation to my Professor in Bremen University of Arts, Prof. Oliver Niewiadomski.
