Project Brief The most imperative ideas about STANLEY is to continue the inheritance and adventurous spirit. Furthermore, hand tools often have a symbol of inheritance because of being handed down from age by age. Therefore I integrated the hand tools ,commonly used in camping, into a tool kit. The tool kit has a axe and hammer for camping, which can be quickly replaced by the elastic latch.

the edible tableware was developed using the Physical properties of sugar, which softens at high temperatures and solidifies at low temperatures. In consideration of the interest and difficulty in production, I chose two ways of Chinese sugar art skill, blowing sugar and drawing sugar.
Because of the elasticity, easy cleaning and high temperature resistance of the silicone mold, users can demould easily, and through the trench structure I designed, the mold can be folded to a flat piece to help the restaurant create more storage space.

this project’s concept is to design 1:1 as myself. I was inspired from human body’s modular structure especially the soft connections in the bones. By studying the human bones, I found out the bones are hollow and lightweight. As a result, after testing lots of structures and materials, I designed a paper structure which can transform a modular systems from 2D surfaces to 3D objects. Out of variability, sponges is the best material between toughness and softness as a soft connection in this modular system.
