Bookend

Monday, 17 July 2023

Time Book

Time Book is a bookend designed for use on a desk or a bookshelf. Each bookend is made from a hand-polished crystal glass block. Special ink is screen printed on the surface and cured at high temperature. The high density of the crystal glass gives the bookend stability in use. The design is minimal in function, form and material, and resembles a book-shaped sculpture. The form presents the function clearly. The printed text uses the Quinsay Parto typeface. The letters MMXIX on the spine are the Roman numerals for 2019.

Cloud

Cloud is a chair inspired by a rain shower seen over the coast of Okinawa Island in Japan. The seating surface is made by piercing polyester fiber into polyurethane foam with a needle, which creates a soft cloud-like appearance. A high seat gives the seated person a floating sensation. Mirror-like stainless steel legs and a pedestal are formed from thin round bars that express falling rain. The number, length and diameter of the bars were carefully determined. Cloud is handmade from stainless steel, polyester fiber, wood and polyurethane foam.

Table

Codependent

Codependent melds psychology and design, specifically focusing upon the physical manifestation of a psychological condition, codependency. These two intertwined tables must rely upon each other to function. The two forms are incapable of standing alone, but together create one functional form. The final table is a powerful example of which the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

Dhyan

Dyhan lounge concept combines modern design with traditional eastern ideas and principles of inner peace by connecting with nature. Using the Lingam as form inspiration & the Bodhi-tree and Japanese gardens as a basis on the concept's modules, Dhyan (sanskrit for meditate) transforms the eastern philosophies into varied configurations, allowing the user to choose his/her path to zen/relaxation. The water-pond mode surrounds the user with a waterfall & pond, while the garden mode surrounds the user with greenery. The standard mode contains storage areas under a platform that acts as a shelf.

Zhangjiagang Marriott Hotel

Zhangjiagang Marriott Hotel is a hospitality interior design project located in Zhangjiagang, Jiangsu, China. The hotel contains 323 guestrooms and suites with skyline views and open-plan bathrooms, dining outlets and more than 4000 square metres of meeting and banquet space. The interior refers to the position of the city as a port on the Yangtze River, so water is a central element. Colours and forms taken from Chinese landscape painting guide the theme. Durable and non-toxic materials were selected, and the floor plan was reorganised to use the space efficiently.

Hide and Climb

Hide and Climb is a residential interior design covering 110 square meters in Taipei, Taiwan. The home combines rock climbing with spaces for working, learning, reading and playing, while keeping traditional areas such as the kitchen, dining space and bedrooms. A tree house form is used as the central icon, and the organic shape of the climbing wall is repeated across the plan. Birch plywood is the main material. The layout can change over time, as the tree house is planned to become a wardrobe when the two children grow older.
