ďź?1 _ EMCO. 2019 Feb - Jun
EMCO. is a project to explore the potential use of cork as a main furniture material. It is made from sheets of cork and bend steel rod. Tactile surface of cork gives comfort seating. Also, simplicity of the structure and design match the materiality of cork.

Cork Cork is sustainable material as it is both renewable and recyclable material. Cork trees are never cut down because it is harvested only from the bark of the cork oak tree. Also, it has amazing material properties. Its elasticity, tactility and impermeability makes it perfect material for making bottle stoppers, floor tiles, bulletin boards and other similar products. However, cork has not been used for furniture, so I thought it has a potential to be used in different way.
9
How My idea is to use cork as a tactile material; first I decided to use it as seating material. Through the experimentation with cork, I found that cork is actually extremely flexible and durable. Next, I came up with the idea to produce a 3D shape by using folding techniques like origami which could maximise the flexibility and durability of the material.

Shape experimentation of seating
Initial research process of seat. I experimented with different conical shapes and seat angles considering the aesthetic and durability. Tried to achieve simplicity of the form and physical appeal.
First design prototype of seating.
Next,I cut out the shape and fold it in the middle which created a symmetric shape. However, the folding point was not strong enough and it eventually cracked.
14
Through the experimentation with cork, I found that by adding the curve on the cutting area, it maximised the strength of cork and also created a beautiful streamline. These models are experimentations of different templates to test which shape would be more durable and aesthetically pleasing.

ďź?2_SPACE O
This spacial design is part of bone bench project and we were assigned to design conceptual, futuristic hospital environment where my design can be placed in. For this project, I designed
2018 Sep - Oct Spacial design
waiting room of pediatric section. Every hospital institution has a waiting room but in many cases, there are only few considerations for children and parents. Thus, my focus is to design the space where children can have positive experience.

23
Space without boudary By applying the torus shape to the space, it is possible to break down the physical barriers. The glass wall and skylight make users to feel like the space is unified and connected. Also, openness of the space would help children to feel less fear and anxiety.

Curve
This space explored the potential of spatial configuration and how it changes user experience and emotion better. The design has to be more welcoming and a comfort environment where children feel less anxiety or stress in the space. In a conventional spatial configuration, it is usually rectangular or square shape. However, torus shape is consisted with curved contours which give an impression of being in a natural environment as if they were inside a cave. Some research suggested that adding the feature of organic shape in the space can actually affect users feeling and change their experience to become more positive.
27
Courtyard Torus shape creates open space in the middle where natural light comes through the skylight. This space could be used in many purposes such as exhibition hall, art gallery, and playroom. Those entertainments would help children to keep their attention and the distraction in the waiting space improves experience of parents. Also, It improves not only the experience of patients but also the hospital environment and change children’s perception about hospital. Thus, waiting room could become the place where children experience the art and so on.

ďź?3_BONE - BENCH
2018 Sep - Oct Furniture Design
BONE - BENCH is the bench that has designed for "SPACE-O". As my waiting room is futuristic and conceptual, the bench has designed to have same aesthetic feature. Also, I have tried to explore the new structure of bench by using unconventional material silicone.
32
33
Wrap Stainless steel structure is wrapped with transparent silicone rubber cover which can be molded in complex geometry and extremely strong. Both materials are commonly used in healthcare application as they have suitable materiality. The massive structure of stainless steel and the tactile surface of transparent silicone would give new seating experience for users.
34
35
The scale of Bone bench. Considering the use of hospital environment, the chair is set to be lower than the average height which is 45cm. Thus, the seat height is set at 40cm to give comfortable seating for every user group.
36
Users can see the intersecting structure through transparent silicone cover which can attract users to sit down. The softness of the seat could prevent injury and enable children to interact with the furniture without the risk of injury.
37
38
Spacing The basic shape design creates better experience for users to sit. As this bench consists with a combination of multiple spheres, it creates an uneven shape. The height difference would mainly work to keep a comfortable distance between users. Also, the curvature of the seat fits to the shape of the human body and increases the contact surface with the chair and provides comfortable seating.

ďź?4_KODAMA 2018 Jun - Jul
Furniture design
42
Kodama is a chair designed for parks and open spaces where people have a relaxed and enjoyable time. It aims to give warmth and comfort for people in these spaces. A rounded and organic shape implies the image of playfulness, comfort, unity and protection. Thus, I designed this approachable and friendly chair so that people can interact with it. I want people to interact and start a conversation by sitting on the chair.
43
Sculpture also as Furniture This project is an experimentation to design public furniture which also has iconic shape as sculpture and breaking the boundaries between them. As park and open space are the place where people gather and interact, I thought public furniture in general could be more friendly and playful. As KODAMA's shape is so sculptural, it would be the symbolic of parks or open spaces and it could also be play equipment for children.
44
45
Prototypes
The process has started from sketching and cardboard model and many template has tested to create ideal proportion and shape.
46
By combining two different size of shapes, I created different patterns and it creates variation of shape. Ideal outline of shapes is on the left.
47

The efficient and accurate manufacturing is possible by using CNC laser cutter. Plywood will cut into parts and sanded to removes edges and burn mark. Also, It is possible to customise the shape by changing the template, so it can manufactured in many variation of forms.

It has two different seat heights one designed to fit adult’s height and the other designed to fit child’s height (38cm, 22cm). As the chair has rounded shape, people can sit on the chair from any angles which enable people to approach and use it easily.

05_ORI 2018 Sep - Oct
How can Japanese art “ORIGAMI” add more values to the product. This project explores potential use of origami as folding technique which add more function and aesthetic appeal to the product. Through the experimentations with folding technique, the project came out to create futuristic and conceptual clothing product “ORI”.

Sheet to form Origami is the art of paper-folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. While we think of origami as art, it increasingly is being used by companies and researchers in space, medicine, architecture, public safety and the military to solve problems. It transforms 2D sheets into 3D form which enable things to become more compact, convenient and aesthetically pleasing by adding the pattern to the surface.
55
Folding methods : symmetrical repeats
Through the research into origami and folding method, I found this motif. It has foldability and extra flexibility which enable the sheet to transform easily. On the right page, there are some of the many forms which this pattern can make.

Design process mainly focused on making prototypes. Tyvec paper has used for prototype models. Also, I have experimented with polyester fabric to test if its possible to pleat the motif on the surface. Successfully, the motif has pleated but did not have enough strength.

ORI’s iconic pattern adds a distinctive feature and its structure adds compatibility so, it can flatten easily. For this project, tyvec sheet has used as main material but further research is necessary with different materials and patterns for future application.
