Communication between kettle and the user
Kettle Plus + 2011, 2013 Adding an idea from a natural phenomenon 16.29

This product is about communication between the user and kettle though the physcial transformation of it. I observed the fact that people don't know whether their kettle has been worked or not, or whether it is still hot or not after boiling, before they touch the surface of kettle. I was focusing about the physical changing of shape of a kettle, by using steam from boiled water. Visually, the speed of spining windmill on the kettle indicate the strength of steam, which means visualizing the temperature of the water inside of the kettle. It allows people knowing instantly whether they can use the water in kettle immediately or not.

Visualising it with a windmill allows communication between kettle and the user.
The windmill looking could be like a ower, so it can give more poetic theme to the product
Raise Me Up Multi-outlet 2007 Universal Design Raise Me Up is a power board designed to allow the user to remove electrical plugs from it easily. A conventional power board requires the user to place one hand on the power board and use the other hand to pull the plug out. Raise Me Up makes the pulling of plugs from a power board easier, as the design enables this task to be done with one hand. Each socket point on the power board is designed with a lever, which makes it easier for the user to pull the plug out without having to stoop or use both hands. This lever also covers the power board so that it reduces the possibility of dust getting in it.

Desktop Collection - Pen Pot 2013 Team work with Hanhsi Chen Form follows function. Function follows form. Using existing materials in smarter way to create new products could be a way to save eort and energy throughout the process of manufacting. I came up with products that are engaged with each material s fundamental personality. Pen pot is made of ready made metal tubes, polished with lathe. Shape and height can be adjusted with magnets that are placed inside of each tubes.

Empty Memory Collection 2012 Empty Memory is a collection of sculptural USB memory sticks. Each design contains a physical emptiness in its sculptural form, creating the metaphor that you can ďŹ ll the space with your own memory. The memory sticks are cast in high-quality 316 stainless steel then hand-polished and ďŹ nished with various colours. The complicated shape of Structure can only be made with Lost-Wax Casting as an unibody. The Lost-Wax Casting process is normally applied for industrial components; the key point in this project is to maintain high production volume while keeps the quality of craftsmanship. This product is now manufactured and retail under the brand Logical Art.

Reflection Task Lamp 2011 Task Lamp LED Research LED is the future of lighting industry, It's small, energy efficient and its light emitting quality can be regarded as a point light source. It is a new technology that needs a new form, yet most of the LED task lamp designs are still follows the form of traditional task lamp. As we can precisely control the LED light pass via lens and reflector, the light source no longer need to be placed on "top" of the lamp. Reflection is a new form of task lamp which utilises the full potential of LED.

Look Back 2005 3G phone which specialized for PHOTOING Without Complexity The main focus of this project is the physical interface of an electronic product. By turning Key Pad of the front side and Camera of the back side, the function of the cell phone can be changed immediately. This is a project I proposed to LG electronics where I studied new form factors for 3G camera phones. I observed people using phone, and tried to come up with new form in order to make them both more physically and emotion- ally comfortable while using phones.

Tofu light 2011 Acrylic sheets This light plays the visual illusion by using layers of tranparent material with printed patterns. While the patterns are overlapped, 2 dimen- sional images can create 3 dimensional shape with the depth of each layer. The images are printed onto clear acrylic sheets through silk-screen printing process, hence make the production cost relatively low and keeps the potential of expanding the collection very easily.
