I’m a designer, dreamer, and nature enthusiast. My love for art and design shapes the work that I do.

Project 1: HYPNOS

HYPNOS is a series of devices designed to help people plan their sleep. According to the process, there are three products, Lighter, Yawner and Relaxer. HYPNOS uses the of red and blue lights to regulate people’s biological rhythm. Regularly play yawns and turn off via mobile to urge people to put down their phones and increase sleep initiative; The 4-7-8 breathing method is used to guide people to relax their body and mind. The goal is to help people plan their sleep process through a series of sleep devices.

Project 2: The Beautiful Scenery

A Beautiful Scenery is a suggestive ambient lamp. The lampshade is made of small pieces of Zeya paper glued together in the shape of a mountain. The bottom part of the lamp, made of beech wood, subtly brings to mind the map of the area while accommodating two bright LED light bulbs. The mirror represents the placid waters of the nearby lake and naturally reflects the light. The golden button adds a touch of exquisiteness to the product.

Project 3: Family Treasure Chest

Family Treasure Chest promotes healthy eating through an innovative and sustainable approach to sound dietary planning for families based on the principles of the Chinese dietary pagoda. With multi-functional ways of storing food designed in a specific order and logic to provide more space for the foods people should eat more.

Project 4: PASSING

Music is the art of melodic convergence of beauty, and furniture is the artifact that interprets it. As one of the first jazz players to use bebop, Charlie Parker used the conflicting nature of the passing note in bebop to create a jazz sound with tension and a high degree of freedom. PASSING releases the stability of the shape and realizes the possibility of function by adding a conflicting connector to the furniture. And opens up the aesthetics of the furniture with the background color of music.
