FRAME SOLUTIONS / 設計切入點，分為三個方向：溫暖、時間感及環境限制 溫暖的部分，採用較包覆感的造型及材質；失去時間感的部分，則是利用燈 光調整，做出時間的流動感；環境限制則是利用平整包裝，方便運輸，降低 成本。
Breakthrough point is divided into three directions:Warmth, the sense of time and environmental restrictions Warm part, use of the more coated sense form and materials; prevent losing sense of time part, adjustment of the light make a sense of the flow of time; the part of environmental restrictions is to use flat packaging, convenient transport, and reduce costs.

IDEATION / 從兩個功能的轉換切入，提出不同造型，思考能夠滿足日光模式及閱讀模式 的 機 構 。 加 強 3D 針 織 材 料 的 運 用 ， 更 加 利 用 材 料 的 彈 性 與 機 構 的 連 結 。 讓 整 體操作及效果更加完整。
Strengthen the use of 3D Knitting material, links and more use of elasticity of the material. So that the overall operation and effect can be more complete.Cut from the conversion of two functions, present different form, design mechanism to satisfy the Sunlight mode and Reading mode.
MODE CHANGING / 最終設計，分為兩個模式-日光功能及閱讀模式 利用針織材料的高彈性，讓日光功能模式時操作的機構能夠伸縮整體燈罩，讓 燈光有所變化；轉換為閱讀模式，只需握著燈罩上的把手，將燈具往前轉動， 即可轉換為閱讀燈。
The final design is divided into two modes: Sunlight and Reading mode Using highly elastic knitted material, so the lampshade can be extend overall easily in the sunlight mode, make the light varies; converted to reading mode, simply hold the handle on the lampshade, rotated forward, you can convert to the Reading mode.

HOW TO CHANGE BETWEEN READING AND SUN LIGHT? 利 用 燈 光 的 強 弱 、 移 動 行 徑 ， 做 出 燈 光 變 化 ， 營 造 時 間 推 移 的 光 感 。 在 功 能 轉 換 的 部 分 ， 則 是 利 用 機 構 、 3D 針 織 形狀變化，轉換成閱讀燈的模式。

分析現代生活型態後，發現單身及小家庭族群增加，獨食機會多，且現今人 們居住空間越趨狹小。生活節奏偏向快速並多功，因此遂以新式飲食習慣作 為設計切入點，為獨食使用者設計能輕易收納且友善的系列食器。
After analyzing the modern lifestyle, found that the number of single people and nuclear families has been increasing, and so does the frequency of dining alone. Our living space is getting smaller nowadays and the pace of lifestyle tends to be faster and more functional. Thus, I take the new dietary habits into consideration and design a series of tableware, which is easily stored and friendly for people who dine alone.
SCENARIO /
WHY CHOOSE SILICONE? 針對單身族群及小家庭， 需要方便清 理、收納的食器，於是利用矽膠的彈 性、防燙、可塑等特性滿足以上需求。
For single people and nuclear families, they need tableware which can be easily cleaned and stored. And silicone possesses the features of flexibility, plasticity and insulating to meet the demands above.
• Strength
Combining soft and rigid materials into a single object, eases the way of folding.
• Foldable
Through folding and unfolding operation, the tableware could switch between 2D and 3D.
• Flexible
With the combination of flexible and rigid materials, a new and bendable material is born.

• Height • Width FOLD LINES_ 摺線的角度與長度直接地影響摺起後的造型的長度、高度及寬度，不停嘗試 各種造型應該有什麼樣的線稿，摺起後再進行調整。
The angles and lengths of lines directly influence the length, height, and width of tableware. Trying again and again with different creased patterns to make different shapes, and adjust the details after folding.

• • • •
初步摺法的造型過於簡易 發展出第二種底座摺法，使碗盤邊緣有腳座 嘗試摺出矮盤，壓低高度後，摺份不易摺疊 最後調整後摺份位置可輕易摺起
• The first folding design could only form simple shapes. • Therefore, the second folding design is developed by adding the pedestals in edge of the tableware. • The height of the tableware was shortened but turned out that the it's not easy to fold after the adjustment. • The final version solves the problems so the tableware can be folded smoothly.
07_ PIN; Flattening Project
STRUCTURE EXPERIMENT / 利 用 3D 列 印 做 出 試 翻 模 具 ， 重 複 調 整 摺 份 與 摺 處 厚 度 ， 使 整 體 結 構 能 夠 服 貼 的摺起。並試驗盛裝液體時，是否會有漏出的問題，經過試驗得到最終各部 分厚度與寬度。
The initial mock-ups' mold was made by 3D printing, and the mock-ups were repeatedly adjusted after the verification of the thickness of folding surfaces so the overall structure can be folded properly. Also, the problem of liquid leaking has been solved after the tests and get the final version of thickness and width eventually.
• Corner
• Sided
There are two problems that make the surfaces of tableware hard to fit with each other perfectly. One is that the edges of different surfaces would bump with each other which make it difficult to fit. The other is that the narrow of the creased surface wasn’t wide enough, and resulted in wrinkles on the surface. Therefore, bevels inside were added on both sides of the round edge in case of bumping together after folding.
Since single-sided crease was unable to fold the tableware into shape. The crease was moved to the middle in order to form the double-sided crease. The width of crease has also been adjusted to fit different surfaces with each other more smoothly.
• Leakage problem The problem of liquid leaking was tested after the experiment of filling up the tableware. In consequence, silicone was applied as the material to make fasteners more inseparable due to the flexibility of the material itself.

PIN; Flattening Project 將新式飲食習慣與現代生活型態作為設計切入點。現代居住空間越趨狹小， 物品更需妥善收納。人口結構變遷也使得飲食習慣改變，也因此將獨食與收 納作為主要設計出發點。
The design focuses on the new habit of dietary and modern lifestyle. The living spaces are getting smaller in our modern lives, so the objects need to be stored appropriately to save space. The demographic structure also influence the habits of dietary, therefore, dining alone and storage are the initial of the design.
