Bones
A coffee set inspired by human’s vertebrae
CONTEXT
Academic Work 2013.03 ~ 2013.05
Enlighten our everyday object Over the past few decades, Chinese’s everyday life have been filled with mass production products. Coming at great convenience and low price, they are also easy to be disposed as well. Purchase, dispose and repeat again, that’s happening everyday in China’s metropolitans for most people. In this project, I explored how to build connection between people and their everyday objects. Hopefully in this way will these everyday objects be a more memoriable part of our life as they used to be.
