My creative concept is novel, practical and sustainable.

Project 1: BAMBOO GLOW
Bamboo Glow is an exquisite wax burner designed to bring traditional Chinese craftsmanship into everyday life. The wax burner is adorned with a three-dimensional bamboo inlay – unique in its genre. It is paired with a ceramic candle holder for optimal heating. Red rosewood accents symbolize nobility and elegance, enhancing the overall aesthetic. Bamboo Glow creates a serene atmosphere, perfect for reading or socializing, as the candlelight gently releases the fragrance of your chosen wax.

Project 2: WHITE TIGER
In Chinese culture, women are associated with the gold element and the white tiger. Gold represents solidness, value, and beauty, while the white tiger symbolizes bravery and strength. Both are viewed as positive forces. The white tiger has a feline, elegant body shape, from which we draw inspiration for our shoe. The tiger is also represented on the sole and is hairless. Therefore, the body of our shoe is clean and white. The red detail represents blood.

Project 3: MATERIAL LIBRARY
Discover the proper material for your project. ML helps students to better understand the characteristics of materials and facilitate students to choose the right materials to make models.

Project 4: TOCO
Using tactile and auditory feedback, we have developed a cooking application that enables visually impaired individuals to prepare hotpot dishes independently.
