Design Proposal Concept The project investigates the effects of food on human emotions and activities. The food is colorful and its taste is mysterious and delicious. The nutrition, color, shape and smell of food all have a huge influence on human body and mind. For example, beta carotene and lycopene in red vegetables can improve anxiety. So tomatoes, red peppers and so on can be calming. Besides, red also can give a person on the vision stimulation, let a person have good appetite and spirit is excited.Therefore, red food is also the first choice for people with depression.

We are interested in what kind of experience it will be when we no longer recognize food in its original appearance, no longer judge the taste of food with objective consciousness, but feel the essence of food in a new perspective and form. And how does this experience affect our emotions? In this design, we create the possibility of a new food sensory environment from the aspects of food’s color, shape, touch and taste. This experiment makes us think further about the relationship between food and people.

How does this experience affect our emotion?
Design Research and Context There are many ways of design to engage people to connect with food. Due to our concept, we would like to use the different external appearance of food to create the space that people can be a part of the food. We decided to use the colourful is the main theme in every part of this project such as food, decoration and cover space. These colours can refer to a different kind of food and taste. Moreover, we used many shapes to create food sculpture that refers to the different shape of food. In term of space, we used inflatable to cover our table part because it can make people feel be part of this space and encourage them to have fun with a meal.

Case Studies To start with inflatable design, we explored the design case study and found the interesting one. It is the floating plastic bag project, designed by artist team from Lund University’s school of technology. The concept of this installation to explore colours, geometry and lighting and transform them into a simple group of plastic bags. For hanging sculptures, we researched about the shape and colour that can impact on human feeling. “Plegxiberg”, installation art was designed by Bahar Yürükoğlu, the Turkish artist. This artwork used geometry shape and neon shade colour to create space by tint colour acrylic sheet. Deu to our project used various colours, so we decided to gradient these colours. We found the handmade artwork that use the idea of gradient colour. It inspired us to design the food colour gradient on the table.
Concept Design
Sculptures
We divided the design process into 2 parts; space design and food design. In parts of space design, we designed 2 elements to cover all the space, sculptures and inflatable. In parts of food design, we explored the way to make food can be part of space and eatable.

Site analysis The breakfast room Sir John Soane’s museum
Sir John Soane’s Museum is a house museum, was built in Neo-classical style. It holds many drawings, models, and collection of painting. The breakfast room is a characteristic of “in the centre”. It has been seen from the shape and element in this room. The structure of the room is divided into three parts. There is a dome in the middle of the room, and also has a skylight. So the light from this room is controlled by natural factor. Moreover, there is a window in the middle of the room on the courtyard side. That means light can approach this room with two main ways. There are oral mirrors on the four conners of the ceiling to reflect the light in the room.

Inspired this structure from the pattern of the dome. Using the bone line to become a bone structure for making surrounding space cover all of the body. To make a sense of privacy.
Sense of meditation
BALANCE + STABLE Meditate can do at any time of the day or night, but research suggests that the ideal time to meditate is first thing in the morning. The benefits of meditation are enhanced when your mind is free and clear before the stresses of the day have crept in.
Sense of Balancing and Surrounding Space for meditation should be soft, clean, and peaceful. So space should create a boundary between inside and outside, while it can absorb the natural light too. Moreover, it should feel a sense of balancing because mediation is an activity to create body balancing. 16
Material Research Felt Fabric Felt is a man-made fabric, created from natural fibre. Felt has been used in many cultures as a material for clothing, footwear, rugs and even tents. The advantage of felt are durable, warm but lightweight, available in wide range of colours and thicknesses and generally inexpensive.
Wool was taken off from sheep, separated into wool bales. Then Carding for combing and untangling the wool. Felt is used for making variety of product such as clothes, footwear and funiture.
Polypropylene Webbing
Webbing is a piece of strong equipment for supporting weight. It can be used to be a soft structure of furniture such as a chair.

Prototype Development
Prototype 1 : 1:1 Testing Prototype
The first prototype was made by felt and polyester. The structure of the device was tested by fibreglass tent poles, hanging from four columns.
Prototype 2 : 1:1 Develope Prototype
The second testing prototype explored the different property of the fabric. The surrounding area used felt, but the seating area fabric changed into the stretch fabric. For connecting joint of two parts of the device, I used the eyelets and connect them by steel wire.
Prototype 3 : 1:1 Working Prototype Adding more structure of the surrounding area from four to seven, that can make the hanging part is stronger. Then, change the structure from tent poles to be a soft structure, cylinder foam. Sewing the webbing with the device and hanging with bungees.

Sketch Desing for Final Product To create the unity of space, the final device is made in one piece to connect all elements in the device together. Moreover, the shape of the surrounding space will be transformed from an ordinary rectangle into trapezoid for producing the sense of opening and absorbing more light from the skylight.
Material Preparation
Final Product Fabrication
Step 1 : Cutting
Cutting felt fabric into two type of shape, rectangle and trapezoid. Then, cutting the shape of seating area and sewing with quill to make it soft.
Step 2 : Sewing
Sewing each part of the surrounding area together and using the foam door snake for a soft structure, then sewing this part with seating area part.
Step 2 : Sewing
Connect soft structure by webbing and cross this webbing under the seating area and sew it to make it become a soft load structural. 19
Structural Diagram
Felt
The felt fabric for making surrounding space has been divided into 6 parts. The shape of cutting fabric consists of two type of shape, 2 pieces of a rectangle shape and 4pieces of trapezoid shape.
Felt Quilt
For seating area, it has been made by the same fabric as surrounding area. It was sewed with quilt to make it more soft for seating.
Door Snake Foam
Cylinder Foam was used for making the shape of the surrounding area. The main reason that using foam because it can provide a sense of soft structure and harmony with the texture of felt.
Bungee
For the hanging part, bungee is useful for creating a sense of balancing and it is also strong and stretch enough to support human weight.
Cover Material
Frame Shaping
Polypropylene Polypropylene webbing is used to be a structural load for this webbbing device. It is soft and moveable to produce a sense of balancing. Moreover, it is strong enough to carry heavyweight.

Design Developement Diagram Use “Fibreglass tent pole” to make a structure. Use “Felt fabric” for making surrounding area.
Use “Stretch fabric” for making seating area. Step 1
Add “Elastic” to make the prototype more stretch and connect from seating fabric.
Add more “Stretch fabric” to create a sense of blooming and make seating stronger.
Step 2
Use “Bungee” for hanging and increasing flexibility when people sit in. Change tent pole to soft material, “Foam stick”. Then sew “Webbing” for hanging. Use “Steel wire” to connect surrounding and seating area.
Step 3
Change a shape of surrounding area. Connect surrounding area and seating area in one piece by sewing. Connect webbing from the surrounding area to under seating area to make the structure of the device.

The device is hanged from the walls and the columns. It is set up in the middle of the room. The colour of all material is white because it illustrates pure and peaceful for meditation. Besides, it can absorb the light from the surrounding. Normal Sitting
The shape of the device will change follow the activity in the space. For normal sitting, the bottom of the device will converge to support the human body. The people will feel covering in the space. Mediatation Sitting
When the people meditate in this device, they will feel a sense of balancing because it is a hanging device. The bungees are an important element to try to balance themselves in this space. The device will be set up in the middle of the breakfast room in the Soane’s museum, London. In front of the device is the window and top side is skyligth. This device can absorb the natural light directly. For morning meditation, this device provided a sense of balancing in the morning space. Participants can feel and percieve the way to balance themselves in this space. Besides, they can feel and appreciate the natural light while they are in space, and also they will not be disturbed from outside.
