Mobile 01 Message and Content Course This project was my reaction (or continuation) of previous course, where we worked on concepts for new university campus which will be build in near future. In this course we had space to be more critical towards previous course and “campus project” in general. Mobile 01 or The Cabinet worked as a metaphor for our faculty, to show vast amount of different skills and knowledge concentrated in HDK, as well to show problematic of communivation between studios and each other. What I wanted to show is that even we are under same roof, in one building (or campus), it doesn´t mean it makes us cooperate or communicate more (better cooperation was a main argument for creating new campus). I wanted to emphasize that physical barriers are not a problem, when you break down barriers within your mind. project

Mobile 02 How to exhibit product design? Chairs, blenders, bikes, coat hangers... Products of everyday life are nowadays showed in museum spaces, special exhibition are held and their authors are well-known. Those products are exhibited in a way how artwork is generally exhibited, even-though its significance lies somewhere else. What are the important aspects if we are talking about designing of product? The functionality, ergonomics, aesthetic... What we can explore in exhibition space is only the aesthetic part, perhaps the least important one. That´s needs to be challenged, if we want to showcase real values of good design.

By my design I wanted to challenge contemporary ways of exhibiting design, not to create a solution how it should be done. Through my design I wanted to let visitors try out and fully explore the exhibit. I chose ordinary juice squeezer as an exhibit and design a display for it. My design worked as a showcase for exhibit, but as a “juice docking station� since it contained fresh oranges, paper cups and packet for organic waste.

Exhibition I used tape to corner the exhibit, but I left it open to let visitors to feel invited to interact... As an exhibit I used regular citrus juicer from Clas Ohlson, and label was designed as an ordinary museum tag.

Vasellame 01
Vasellame 01 Inspiration by Finnish Design Design task was to create a product with typical attributes of Finnish design used in different way. Our answer was tableware for salmon meals inspired by Finnish, but also Japanese Design. We noticed that Finnish and Japanese design and their way of life have much in common. Simple forms, minimalism, use of natural materials and organic shapes are typical for Finnish and Japanese design. In their way of life, it is their relationship to nature and land. Salmon is a typical food for both nations and we even found similar patterns among Finnish and Japanese artists and designers, such as patterns by Marimekko and Yayoi Kusama, tableware by Arabia and Muji, etc.

Plate is designed for salmon meals, both Japanese and Finnish. The bowl could be used for soya sauce if you eat for example sushi, or for melted butter according to the Finnish customs. Chopsticks are Japanese element, but they are postioned as western cutlery. Dots on plate and chopsticks are decorative and functional element, which refers to work of Oiva Toikka and his Kastehelmi glassware. Vasellame 01 was a team project, members of our team were Eva K채fer and Huang Yuan (market research), Dana Levy (graphic design) and me (product design).

Kastehelmi
The Kastehelmi range of glassware that Toikka originally designed in 1964 was also the outcome of a technical challenge. In year 2010 Iittala reintroduced a selection of the most popular pieces in the range.
November 2011
The idea of using droplets of glass as decoration came to Toikka when he was thinking of ways of covering the joint marks left on the surface of pressed glass pieces by the production process.

Vasellame 02 Set of tableware and tray for hospital In this project I focused on dining situation in the hospital environment. Looked into ways how food is prepared on the tray, served to patient and eaten. Evaluated how was situation of dining in hospitals and what are eating habits of patients. Persons with illness have lower appetite and their sense of taste is weaker, therefore I thought the overall impression from the food creates a large part of its taste. Smells, looks and surroundings are playing an important role during the meal and also the way how the food is eaten matters a lot. In the beginning I started my project with little experiment. Plan was to prepare meals from the hospital menu in more appealing and also compact way, which would also indicate how the meal is supposed to be eaten.

Next step was to create tableware which will be designed around this meals, bearing in mind other types of dishes from the menu, difficulties during transportation (which is often cause of not appealing look) and specific way of dining in the hospital. Proposed set of tableware should indicate how to serve food on the tray (for staff ) and the food will stay like that also during transportation and serving.

“Form follows function.”
“Form follows food.”
Pascal Prosek
Concept I divided main dish and side dish into separate vessels, so the food won´t get unintentionally mixed during transportation and it also gives options to patient to choose how he wants to eat his food. How and where she/he wants sauce, etc...Food portions are smaller in hospitals, because patients have lower apetite and also because they are eating more often and regulary during a day, therefore I scaled proportions of vessels down so the served food “fits well”.

Dimensions

Froggie the Shoehorn
Froggie the Shoehorn Little shoehorn from rainforest. Froggie the Shoehorn is a little shoehorn from tropical rainforest. It was designed for kids who don´t like putting their shoes on. They will be more interested in this everyday activity with Froggie the Shoehorn, because it becomes part of a game and shoehorn one of their toys. I used HPS for functional prototype.

Lanterna
Lanterna RiverLights Festival. The RiverLights festival is an annual event held aside Kemijoki River on downtown of Rovaniemi, Finland. You can see fire sculptures, artistic performances and works of Lantern Design Workshop. Lanterns for the RiverLights festival were designed and made by Anna Štěpánková, Janusz Korwin, Yael Bello and me. Our goal was to design lanterns which would point out specific place or object. Place was a bank of Kemijoki river and object was poster for this event, designed as a little lantern hanging in the space. We designed three lightning walls, each wall with a window of different size, standing behind each other and view through the windows point out place or object which is important for a viewer. Two weeks before the show it was placed in the university building as a teaser for the upcoming event and then it was placed near the river bank, looking down to the city and the fire show. project

Scultura
Scultura Design of Lehtojarvi Snow Hotel room. Me and Anna Štěpánková worked together on design of room for Lehtojarvi Snow Hotel in Finland. We transform our room into snow cabin with hunting trophies carved out from ice blocks, which placed upon wall and placed light behind. This project belongs to one of my favorite experiences. Extreme weather conditions, short time for work, new material and techniques which we had to learn “on the run” made this project as fun as exhausting.
