Jรถkulsรกrlรณn - Glass Craft

Glacial Glass

Jรถkulsรกrlรณn

Transforming Iceland landscape - Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon into glass craft. This project is talk about Landscape Translate to Product Design. In the trip of Iceland, I saw much amazing landscape. Travellers say that “the best thing of a journey is sharing the good thing to other people.” So, they came in my life. And I want use product design skill to do something to share the wonderful experience. In the design process, I observed the form and the color of glacier and ice. Made the wax model and heated it, approaching the natural glacier form. And casting with colorful lead glass to the Glacial Glass-Jökulsárlón. It reflect the beautiful and natural landscape will be change by global warming. This work record the real current landscape. Used glass craft to perform the melting glacier landscape.

Motion Sensor 1. it can stick on any moveable object; 2. to record the position and motion; 3. to get how many calorie you burn?

Electric Sensor 1. it can clip almost wire; 2. to record the time of switch ; 3. to get how much time you spend on the electic product?

1. it can put on every plane; 2. to record the time and weight ; 3. to get how much time you spend? & how much water you drank?

Hey! warm reminder is a IOT product series for elders. What is the most require of old people? Quote data from elderly report, 87% elders would prefer to be cared for in their own homes if the need arose. So, I focus the daily activities of elders. I created 3 kind IOT sensors, Motion Sensor. Electric Sensor and Weight Sensor. Each one can supply on the daily object what is elder use. The IOT sensors also can pass the information by change color to remind the user. However, when elders use it, the other one (could be their children. grandson. friends... ) most to choose one sensor and daily object to link the elder. When the messages pass, hoping the warm interaction real happen. Forming a daily network.

Think through Making

A Tool for Everyday Living Develop a simple tool to aid and assist a task me undertake in my everyday life. The outcome of this brief should be an object which enables the previously mundane task to be carried out with an enhanced user experience and with less exertion or effort. The object will be small in size, roughly no bigger than 30cm cube, although this is flexible depending on my idea. The outcome will be devised directly from the task I have selected, and my concept should be developed from quick models and tests. The result will be a concept for a direction forward, not a finished object. The focus of this project will be the process of ‘thinking through making’, iterating and further testing my ideas. This should be very quick, as I can learn a lot about how your idea will work in reality.

Unsuccessful Pencil

Pencil

is an essential tool while studying; people use it for practice and doing the exams. This product extends the length of eraser part, reflecting that, the failure we made can make us closer to success. This design encourages people to try more possibilities.

se ingredients as culture media. Different ingredients around the world on representatives of different life habits and food culture. Today, from local to global. Food as source for inspiration people around the world. This design project is talk about an active food journey. Gathering ingredients, and then get surprise!

I design a building for easy assembly. This building can travel to many cities of the world. And it collect local ingredients, each ingredient with a color tag as the identify code. Resident can easy to choose ingredients, which they want. Interactive system will scan the color tags and tell you those ingredients can cook to so many dishes of the world. People will get surprise and learn the new cultural dishes. In fact, an ingredient plays the different role in the different culture. With food reaches a cultural life adventure!

Food Adventure shop travel on the world, and it collect the local ingredient. Let local people connect to new experience by the cultural dish what Food Adventure match it.
