MRT Family Pole

Don’t know where to put the pram when getting in the car. Try to put the pram in the corner but there are always people in there. Some bigger prams can’t even fit the gap between seats and poles. So they will stock in front of the door or the aisle that other passengers can’t move out easily.
HOW?
Although the priority seat is friendly to family, it’s still inconvenient to sit down with a pram. Standing on the MRT is more convenient, so why not?
Focus on “Where can I put a pram on the MRT?”. Travel by MRT can be easier for parents with pram and kids.

Skateboard + Cart = Skatecart
The idea of this product comes from the benefits to commuters and travelers with some fun. The skateboard can be transformed into a cart that you can put your stuff on it whiling you are in MRT or walking on the street. However, when you want to have some fun, you can transform the cart into a skateboard. Isn’t it an interesting and practical product?

Patter ns
I apply the idea of using the patterns to strengthen the structure of suitcase of Samsonite. The patterns are not only the elegant sur face outside the suitcase but also the important structure for a suitcase. Therefore, I use the patterns on the surface of skateboard which can prevent people from slipping. It can make frictions from 0 to 90 degree with the foot while playing skateboard.

Skatecart
Instead of the vivid color of skateboards, the color of skatecart is more stable. Because the skatecart has the function of cart, it’s better to express a image of reliability.

All Saint Day: Canfold Candle
"All Saint Day" in Poland
All Saint Day is a holiday for Polish to remember their family and friends who pass away. They will go to the cemetery on Nov. 1st. After they clean up the tomb, they have a special custom —— light up the candle. Lighting up the candles means the connection between the dead and the living. They believe candles can deliver the missing and bless to the dead.
After “A ll Saint Day�
There will be a huge amount of garbage after All Saint Day. People will throw away the glass that they only use once. The trash can full of plastic and flowers without recycling. Those things remain me of the joss paper culture in Taiwan. The old custom has become a part of Taiwanese culture that can't be removed. Nowadays, with the advancement of technology and environmental awareness has risen. How to keep the old tradition and protect the earth at the same time becomes a new challenge for us.
Core Value After research, I discover most of the people won't use the same candle every year. I decide to combine the glass container outside and the plastic container with candle inside. So people can change the form of candle every year. To remove the guilt of reusing the candle every year.
Also reduce the
trash and make it easy to recycle to help the workers in the cemetery.
About Product
Metal Cover The metal cover is a thin shell that can easily deliver the heat. The cover protects the part that is easily be burned by the fire. The shape of the cover connects with the candle so it's easy to cover it without being burned.
Paper “Origami� Combine candle and the glass outside. Make the candle become one piece. After burning, the origami part can easily fold into a little piece.
Reduce the huge amount
of garbages to reduce the workload of the workers in the cemetery after All Saint Day.
Use the feature of Origami to make the shape more functional. The top of the candle has space to put in the cover. The shape is matched so you can easily put in without being burned. Because of the cutting, the holes for air have roofs protect the candle from the rain.
Metal Base Use solid metal as the base to make it heavy enough to against the wind. Even if the candle burns out it still can against the wind. The groove can keep the cover and the base together after the candle burned out. Waiting for the next candle.
