s'ĂŠpanouir Material Exploration and Design Application with Silicone Sheet
Packages are generally referred to the exterior materials used to both decorate and protect objects. When packages made of soft materials are used to wrap up objects, the shape of the package will change accordingly. Based on the visual image of different packages, this research aims to explore and study different molds conducted with soft materials.
1. hard material
2. soft material
Case analyses
The researcher expect to understand the essence of package - the relationship between packages and their contents - through discussing past literatures and analyzing designed cases. After a series of carefullydesigned material tests, the focus of this research was gradually switched to silicon sheet, a medium mainly applied in this study.

Release film The concept of using the same mold to create products with different shapes is inspired by the flexibility of silicon sheet. In the era of digital processing, the procedure of this creation emphasizes the idea of using “hand” as a means of thinking and designing. The creator also examines the possibility of conversing abstract concepts including “soft” and “cover” into methods of producing products.

Observation Coffee or drinking coffee is a symbol of relexation. Most people like buying coffee from convenience stores or sitting in a coffee shop for afternoon tea with coffee. It's a popular thing, that becomes to a vital part of daily life.
"First wow" vs "Later wow" Many products can create "first wow", it can attract users immediately, but comparing to "later wow", "first wow" can't be impressed for a long time. "Later wow" the reaction comes from center of awareness. For instance, Naoto Fukasawa's cd player reminds user of the similar memory. When user pull the wire, the cd player will turn on, and "later wow" come. Between "first wow" and "later wow", I want to design a speaker that can have interesting operation to users, and connect the experience of similar objects using.
Ideation I combining the two types of vibration: sound and water. During the ideas developement, I thought, coffee cups is a better image for speaker design. It can condense the atmosphere of coffee shop into a device, also, it expresses the happiness and relaxation.

What is the essence of music? "Yellow submarine" is a song that describes childlike and positive story, and encourage people to find the happiness. Music can be shared, and it is world language, also, music can heal sorrow. I love Beatles, they are my first teacher of learning English songs "Yellow submarine" aways give me power to against the failure in my life. Therefore, back to the question "what is the essence of music?" ,and I consider
"Music can lead us to find the Utopia."
Inspiration Submarines are the powerful battle ship. It uses sonar to go ahead or find enemy's units. Their body always hide that in order to avoid searching of enemy. Just have sound to recognize anything. I seperate discussion of submarine to three layers: meaning, function, appearence. I used the brainstorming to analyze, then, the key concept is sonar. Because it has the image of strong sound.
Sonar will make me to associate the sound recognition and powerful sound.

Concept For improving the importance of sound. The shape of speaker must be simple. I don't want to copy the shape of submarine but pick some features: command tower, oval head etc. Around 360 degrees' sound product design, Play EVO has cantilever form. EVO is designed horizontally above the ground to enhance the sound quality. It pursues the result of perfect sound. Play EVO's system can support for iOS and Android. When you listen music, Play EVO's minimal shape strengthens the effect about nature of music and hides the details. Just like submarine.
Detail Use the exchangeable dock and place your device elegantly atop of the EVO. This way your device will both have a central resting place and be charged while playing. You can also choose to play your music through either a MiniUSB cable or phonocable.

Taipei street cleaner's equipment renovation project
In 2013 summer, I got the intern of Agua design. The mission of intern is called "Taipei street cleaner's equipment renovation project". That aims to improve the image of Taipei city. Also, it's striving for a better city enviroment and building the world design capital.

Description The leader designer of this project is Agua Chou, These people are my partners. They come from SCU, TTU, NCKU and NYUST. We worked in cooperation with a due division of labour: trash can, broom, dustpan, cart and clothing. My early mission was developing dustpan and broom. At last we combined with all objects to be a equipment system.

Observation In the busy and crowded city, time and space are chained by urban city. How to find a space where belongs to self? How to start a conversation with nobody but yourself?
Ideation I participated a workshop that is called "from inspiration to innovation". In this workshop, we worked with Prof. Justus Theinert. Our group's topic is talking about future religion. First, we just draw anything what you think. Then teacher analyzed and grouped the similar pictures together. Finally I selected the gesture of pray that became my own project, and I combined concepts of projector, fountain and call box. Wishper is a public design, it creates a place that people can meditate.

In tradition, people used to throw coins into the pools. That will make water pollution and theft. Wishper can avoid these problems. The money of collecting will be donated to vulnerable groups.

Waterfall can not exist in cities. In addition to this, people are always busy. Naturally, countryside is not only a faraway place but also a daydream about outing. Wishper can achieve the dreams of busy people. recycling water by solar power.
Perch "Go to bed with the lamb and rise with the lark."
category/ chair material/ snake wood & steel size/ Ă˜ 35 x 45 cm date/ 2014.11
Inspiration The daily life of animal is routine. When animals go to bed with lamb, the concept of "home" maybe is caves or nests. Its' meaning is safety.
Material The main application of snake wood is gardening and supply a hotbed for vegetation. Snake wood have good draining that can drain the unnecessary water, it prevents the roots from rotting. The main feature of snake wood is rough fiber. So people select this material for easy working and decomposition, it's a green natural material.
Sketch The first idea of this project is nest. I prefer to use clear line for standing. More clear, more better. Model This project is called "perch". Why I used this material? Because the rough fiber of snake wood can associate the stereotype of nest. It's a natural feature.
Concept The zoom view of people's daily life. The safety feeling of "sit" is equal to "go home". And the opposite feeling of safety is lonely. Lonely comes from non-stand by. Therefore, when people sit on chair, they get steady feeling. Chairs are one of products can support safety. Therefore I choose the chair to present this feeling. Because chairs exist in our daily life.
Nutshell Nutshell is a nutcracker. The project is talking about German traditional re-thinking. The famous nutcracker with soldier decoration is came from Sonneberg in Germany. It presents a festival product and lucky symbol in Europe. In a nutshell, Nutshell just simplify the shape of soldier image to become a cylinder. The lever still be keep, but change to second lever, it is a saving power device. ​ category/ accessory material/ wood, epoxy, brass size/ Ă˜ 35 x 45 cm date/ 2016.06
