I am an industrial designer who loves to study design methodology. I think the charm of design lies in its logic and rationality. I will continue to explore more possibilities of design in the future.

Project 1: Rural Ones

“Starting today, camping is no longer burdensome and expensive, Rural Ones offers an easier and more affordable option for solo camping.” This product aims to discuss the problems of many, heavy and expensive camping supplies at present, and propose a new design of camping supplies. This joint can be used to assemble modular products such as tripods, camping tables, and brackets, aiming to provide a more portable, practical, and economical camping solution. Our goal is to bring camping back to its original sense, and allow campers to participate in the construction of the camp.

Project 2: INCEPTION

The design theme of furniture is to explore the relationship between object motion state and time. We find that the concepts of stillness and rotation in Christopher Nolan’s Inception have been emphasized all the time, and the speed of rotation will be affected by human factors. So we designed these three pieces of furniture according to this theory. These three types of furniture can present two states of stillness and rotation and the layering of dreams.

Project 3: Air purifier

The purpose of this project is to explore the difference in air quality between the north and the south, and to design a non-electric air purifier in line with the northern climate.

Project 4: Memories of the Village

Focusing on bamboo paper production’s past, present, and future possibilities, the “Zeya Paper Reborn” project is committed to showing the appeal of Zeya traditional paper by designing a series of innovative modern Chinese lamps. Memories of the Village is at the bridge between product and graphic design. It is an easy-to-assemble lamp made of laser-cut wood panels that comes in lovely packaging. The pieces of Zeya paper have unique patterns. Destructured scattered abstract graphic elements, inspired by the traditional local architecture, are printed on the paper’s surface. The dominant colors of this product are red and black.
