It is a Ceiling Lamp that are dyed with the gradient orange - red, so the light is warm. It remembers me about the traditional Denglong in China, but I cannot keep the colour Chinese red because that would be a little scary.

Flexible Book-end Time Type
03/2011 product design
Concept description In this project I attempt to analyze the way people use the book-end. The flexible book-end looks like a mechanical spring, and will reduce the steps people take to Option C
put down a book.
Lamp holder can stand on a table or be place in a bracket on the wall, so that the option C is both a table lamp and a wall lamp.

Old Book-end VS Flexible Book-end
drawing back automatically
There are free distance between each book , so it is easier to extract one of them
This model is made to explain the principle. While it is made of iron wire, the material should be elastic steel in terms of manufacturing production.

Project description
This is a exhibition space be composed by five display area. Each area can display a set of furniture. I build the wall with cross lines, so that it will be a connection between the inside space and the outside space. The light is also divided into different part by the white cloth.

This is the first commercial project I participated when I was an intern at Aprial6th Design during summer holiday. Our client plan to develop several kinds of LED medium Power Wall Washers, that are used both in interior and exterior Illuminating. I took part in the earlier investigation work and attempted to find out what factors are important to achieve the best lighting effect. Finally two of my drafts are accepted by the client. It is very happy to think about that a project designed by me will light up the corner of the world.

Wireless smart switch Time 09/2011 Partners Xuan Ping Zhan Ma
Project description
The wireless smart switch is part of the Smart Home system. Actually what we do is designing the panel of the switch, because the panel should match the standard electronic components. After this project, I rethought the switch panel and design another one.

Brain storm
We thought a lot about how to design a product which has been used for years and can be seen everywhere.
home atmosphere simple easy to find in night security
plates keys of the piano something pressed by hand
ice DIY (Users can affix the UI on the switch)
style of furniture harmony with the wall easy to distinguish different buttons
feed back touch several kinds of UI
Concept express
After the brainstorm, we got several concepts, and I designed a switch based on those concepts. Concave surface with a raised plane may attract the user to touch it.

Actually, there are some problems didn’t be solved. When a panel has 2 keys on it, the user should distinguish which one controls the light and which one controls the window curtain. So I designed another kind of switch in my spare time. There are ups and downs on the surface of buttons.
