SIMPLE LIFE STARTS FROM THE KITCHEN

CONCEPT The goal of this project is to create a better experience for the user during the preparation of food ingredients in the kitchen. By using this kitchen sink system we can cook food more efficiently, well organized, and feel the joy instead of suffering from disorders and terrible messes. This design simplifies the procedures that people need to do for preparing food in conventional way. Users can easily cut, transport, and clean the ingredients with ease because it can be done in the same space of the sink. Also, the specially designed container can be also stacked along the rim of the cutting board. The food will never spread off the cutting board and the stacking containers can save much space at the same time.

PROBLEM There are three different stages when we cook in the kitchen, preparing food ingredients, cooking, and cleaning. However, we spend over 1/2 cooking time on preparing food. There are many different tasks and tools are involved during the preparing process. It makes people feel difficult and stressful.

CURRENT

Here are some interesting facts when we look into the preparing processes step by step. We always repeat some certain actions again and again when we are in kitchen such as washing food, transporting food into containers and cleaning cutting boardâ&#x20AC;Ś etc. These repeated actions lengthen the time of the whole process and bring out another issue is how to maintain the cleanness of environment while preparing food. We always mess up the kitchen when preparing food: different sizes of containers and tools everywhere; water accidentally splash on the counter top or fl oor and those make the kitchen looks like battlefield everyday.

FUTURE

If we can reduce the repeated actions and draw the connection between each action to simplify the workfl ow, we will work more efficiently and have more pleased experience when we are preparing food ingredients.

CONCEPT DEVELOPMENT 1 Can we increase the space around the sink ? First, I develop my ideas around the sink area. During the preparing process, we have to wash food, clean tools or containers frequently. Therefore, developing concepts around sink area has rich opportunities to reduce steps.

Concept development 2 How to organize the containers and make them easier to access? It always makes people frustrated to see unorganized containers scattered around the working area. The problem could be solved by two approaches. First, it could be improved with easy-to-access placement of the containers. Secondly, if we can provide space where we can store and organize the containers at the same time, it will accelerate the working speed by reducing the distance to reach all the items we need.

Concept development 3 How can I arrange a smooth workfl ow for preparing food with the sink integrated with the most frequently? Through breaking down all the steps in the procedure of preparing foods and analyzing the connection between each step, it can make me be clear about fi nding out the unnecessary movements. Then, I can draw a plan to rearrange the workfl ow and relocate the tools in the sink area objectively.

DESIGN BRIEF This kitchen sink system contains several creative attributes that improve the experience of cooking. As I mentioned earlier, we always repeat some certain actions while preparing food. Therefore, if we can reduce the repeated actions and draw the connection between each action to simplify the workflow, we will work more efficiently and have more pleased experience when preparing food ingredients. First of all, I developed my ideas around the sink area is to reduce steps as we wash food and clean tools or containers frequently during the preparing process. In order to eliminate the unnecessary movements, I break down all the steps in the procedure of preparing foods and analysing the connection between each step. Then, I can draw a plan to rearrange the workflow and relocate the tools in the sink area objectively. Therefore, sink allows users to work mainly on the top of it and to use the space effectively.

Connection / The layout of this product is based on different functions because we can easily access different function areas by using cutting board.

Rinse & Colander

Sink & Disposal

Temporarily draining area

Container Storage

Flexibility / The colander / container set and cutting board can be placed in A, B or C position. This provides the fl exibility for users to arrange everything in the working area.

C Cutting Board / The specially designed container can be also stacked along the rim of the cutting board. With the new solution, the food will never spread off the cutting board and the stacking containers can save much space at the same time.

Relocated / In order to cover different function areas, I place the faucet in the center of the sink which is unconventional location where it always sit at the back.

Rinse & Colander area /

Compost & Draining area /

We can put the ingredients in the colander set for the food preparation. We can use the this for containing the ingredient in large volume. The pores in the bottom of the container allow we dry the food after the rinse, such as spaghetti and salad.

User can adjust the placement of the compost container according to their demand. Also, they can use this area as the temporary dishes placement to drain the dishes.

DESKCO / CREATE YOUR OWN SPACE /

CONCEPT DESKCO is the table and chair set designed for the public library space. There are many different activities take place in the library such as reading, meeting or using laptop… etc. DESKCO can be functioned for different purposes by simply rotation. It’s also able to create the small meeting space for group of people.

PROBLEMS

Nowadays, with the development of technology, peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working space is no longer limited in the originally defined ones. By using the laptop or smart phone, people can choose wherever they want to do their works. Therefore, we can find there are different activities might happen in the public place at the same time, such as reading, talking, using laptop or meeting. In order to deal with this change, some articles of furniture plays the most important role to make the space can be used in different purposes.

“To build brand identity is to engineer a voice with all the nuance and complexity of any individual voice….it is carried in language, color, and typography, but also in materials, textures, images…every gesture and decision helps to define the voice…adds to –or detracts from- the clarity and value of the voice and, therefore, the quality of the brand” - Bruce Mao

+ BOOK / USING WITHOUT THINKING/

CONCEPT The concept of this bedside lamp is developed base on the brand I’ve chosen ±0. I developed my concepts according to the brand’s philosophy, target market, competitor, materials and design language I’ve research. One of this the most important idea of ±0 is how to design the product that can be used intuitively. Therefore, the idea of this bedside lamp is try to lead users to use it in the intuitive way.

CHUN MING WU PORTFOLIO / SIMPLE LIFE STARTS FROM THE KITCHEN

ABOUT ±0 ±0 believes that designing things that coexist together is natural. It’s not just about matching colors or shapes; it’s about designing the harmony between these devices and life. A shape that is “just right” They create shapes that can be used for a long time, that, while loosely following the trends or the lifestyle of the time, are not swayed too much by fashion.

Stylish: Minimalism Color tones: Achromatic colors Functional: Without too many buttons and interface. Material: Plastics with mirror polish painting

A size that is “just right” Things are on the small size. They seek that feeling of comfort that comes from returning to an appropriate size from thoughts of being too greedy in terms of size. A price that is “just right” They aim for prices that are affordable, the kinds of prices that are within your reach at the time you want an item. As their name suggests, ±0 products seek to be at the center of the vacillations in people’s preferences. They seek to be in the middle of people’s conflicting desires, to be the happy medium.

CHUN MING WU PORTFOLIO / SIMPLE LIFE STARTS FROM THE KITCHEN

Design Brief Many people like to read books on the bed before sleep. We turn on the bedside lamp for reading and turn it off when we ready to sleep every day. This design used the different way to turn on and off the light by using the action we place the book instead of fi nding the switch to turn it on and off. Therefore, we can use the bedside lamp more intuitive without any additional action to operate it.

PUZZLIGHT / play with your light /

CONCEPT In this design, pop art is added to the design elements because the bright colors and repeated combination are widely applied in pop art, which coheres with the essence of this design. Making use of the features of LED, such as small volume and low temperature, I place LED under the acrylic board shaped like a puzzle. By pressing the board itself, the light shot and with the use of LED, different colors are produced so that by combining we can transform them into the images or words that we want.
