ICEBERG WHITE ELEGANT ROUTER The focus of the ICEBERG is creating a wireless router which is elegant enough to be considered as a artwork at home. This router will be a top of the line product from the manufacturer and will be released onto the market late 2012.
What about your router? As a demand for a home networking rises, a router has become an essential product that people have to deal with everyday. A router usually is ‘hidden’, where people can’t see like on a floor or behind a bookshelf due to its bulky shape. I challenge the notion that a router needs to be hidden, and propose to bring it out to where people can check its status and manage it quickly and easily.
I was inspired by many artworks. Finding a balance between curves and lines to create new and appealing router was a big, yet meaningful challenge.
The overall form factor is rectilinear shape. I tested many alternative shapes to come up with the basic shape which is simple, elegant and interesting.

VERTICAL
Inspiration
This router has a very simple and elegant form factor with top of the line features. It is almost comparable to an art pieces, which its owner can appreciate the aesthetics and can proudly place it where anyone can see.
Prototyping After design direction was set, I worked on overall shape, proportion, lines and detail design.

Iceberg is a new type of simple and elegant wireless router. It has inner antenna inside with PCB. The housing is clamshell type which is composed of two parts. There are 3 LEDs on the front and the others are hidden at the back side to make cleaner front look.
Out of the ordinary Iceberg is a new type of vertical router. The selection of white color and form factor was based on its target customers – mostly for home and personal use. It has unique form factor, top of the line features and very appealing aesthetics.
Like an iceberg floating on the sea, depending on the time, day and location, it will always look different and will bring little joy to look at.
Tablet-O EASY TO GRAB, CONNECT EASILY. The focus of this tablet is on comfortable mobility and usability within the home environment and outdoor. The Tablet is designed so that user can hold and use it in various directions. The handle is transparent specifically for the purpose of eliminating the impression of looking heavy.
Form exploration + development

It meet the need of users who want a tablet which is more comfortable to hold and use in out door and home environment. The Tablet's style and its main functions are very simple enabling users to effortlessly get used to it. The top transparent handle is designed purposely so that it is easy to grab. A hole in the handle is identical with the shape of the docking station.

Simple Simple stick-like rubber can be used as a handle and it is detachable so that you can change the color.
EG. Screen HAND-HELD HEARING DIAGNOSTIC TOOL IN THE DEVELOPING WORLD. EG Screen is a hand-held hearing diagnostic tool for infant hearing and screening in the developing world. EG Screen provides users with a hand-held tool which is easy to use, eco-friendly and made from recyclable materials. It is designed for use by volunteers, audiologists and doctors.
Most hearing diagnostic devices are used by audiology personnel in the developed nations. EG screen is
FOR VOLUNTEERS AND FAMILY.
WHAT MATTERS.
WHAT IF,
1. A significant number of births occur outside the big hospitals Many parents and infants are also lost to follow-up, and persuading them to attend a centre specifically for the purposes of hearign screening may be difficult.
1.Community-based test + Trained volunteers and patient care assistants There are the lack of facilities and personnel. While mother need to take care of her baby, volunteers need to learn and conduct test easily and fast with the device.
2. The lack of facilities and personnel In developing countries, many birthing facilities do not have the luxury of utilizing audiology personnel and instead use trained volunteers, patient care assistants, or clerical staff in the units.
2. Easy + Simple In order to meet the condition which is for community-based test and for volunteers, the device should be easy to use and have minimal components. Also, frindly and iconic form could be good for volunteers and mothers to feel devices more comfortable.
3. The prevailing superstitious beliefs The prevailing superstitious beliefs related to childhood disabilities and the extent to which these factors can be minimised through prescreening parental education and counselling would be helpful.
3. Solar-powered Traditional hearing aids and devices need their batteries replaced weekly. To cut down on the price and waste, running on rechargeable batteries would be alternative. Also, It can be good option for people in developing nations without access to batteries or electricity.

REINTERPRETATION OF OUR TIME READING
It is 12:00
There is noting but a light that shows you about time. Time has both an important and a symbolic meaning for us. A clock is a necessary item that can directly tell us the accurate time or indirectly express approximate time. In Follow the time, a new concept of time was adopted. Light moves with time. The hour and minute can be discerned through a symbolically intuitive method according to the movement of light. Follow the time is a tool indicating time while simultaneously erving as an interior object by which a particular time reveals a particular space.
It is about 4:30
It is 11:00

Umbrella+ UMBRELLA CASE, IT’S ALWAYS THERE WHEN YOU NEED IT. On rainy days, many people use umbrellas to keep dry and avoid arriving at their destination getting wet. If umbrella users are inconsiderate of other pedestrian and passengers, they can frustrate and anger other people. Typical umbrellas drip on other people's floors and clothes. Also, people tend to forget to bring their umbrella case with them or carry a plastic bag for this purpose.
Have your clothes ever gotten wet because the wet umbrella? 1. There are messy with used plastic bags and drips from umbrella. 2. Waterlogged umbrella without proper case makes slippery floor where someone might slip. 3. Umbrella drip on others, poking their eyes out, or sparring with their umbrellas.

When the bottom part of the handle is pushed up, it covers the whole umbrella. The translucent material is used to show the inside of the umbrella; this connects it visually to the umbrella.
It’s built in cover, Simply stretch it out. Fold the umbrella then slide the cover up; this will enclose the whole wet umbrella. This eliminates the possibility of clothes getting wet or raindrops dripping on the floor.
Wave INDOOR MOOD LAMP Wave is an indoor lighting solution which is in the shape of a compressed globe. Composed of irregular waves, it is made from soft thin plastic so that light can flow out between the gaps in the waves.
Wave is not a lighting that reacts only to the flip of a switch. You can enjoy the illumination differently with these light waves.
Before final design direction and concept, different kinds of form and function are proposed.
Wave can be suspended from the ceiling with a variation of length or placed on the floor. Wave can be located and arranged in various position depending on the time and environment maximizing it's function and beauty.
Bow-tie Enjoy special moments straight from the TV Bow-tie is a new device that you can share your photos with others, take a pictures of your family and make video calling to your living room. Instantly connect with the people you care about no matter how far away they might be.
Family as One Bow-tie offers features such as photo sharing, taking pictures and making video calling. A-bow-tie is a stand-alone device with no computer required, this small device is the simplest way to make a video call and share photos. Just connect a-bow-tie to the HDTV and connect a network cable.
How to manage all these cables? When bow-tie sits on top of the TV, the HMDI port, Ethernet and micro USB cables will be connected to the device. All the cables were required to be hidden for a cleaner look and better user experience. Many design alternatives were tested to come up with various ways to manage the cables with PCB board inside.
ETHERNET
HMDI
MICRO USB
I worked on different concepts considering the overall form and location of cables, camera, SD card unit and USB port. As the device will be placed on top of the TV, Attaching it to the top surface of TV was considered as well.
Like a bow tie The design was inspired by a bow tie. I imagined not only the form of bow tie, but the whole experience of a man wearing a bow tie with the suit. When choosing a bow tie, you will consider not only the bow tie itself but also the others such as the color, size, design of suit. When I started designing this project, I was considering its impact on the surroundings and a harmony within the context.
