Project1: This project merges traditional woodworking with mechanical design in an Automata form. By turning the side handle, a system of gears, cams and shafts translates rotation into a timed sequence: elements hidden within three openings extend and retract one after another. The piece emphasizes tactility and rhythmic motion, inviting viewers to become operators and experience the contrast between warm timber surfaces and precise mechanical movement. Materials and joinery are carefully considered to balance durability with handcrafted expression. Intended as an interactive display and teaching piece, it explores the intersection of manual craft and mechanical aesthetics while encouraging curiosity about mechanisms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Project2: Our project aims to reimagine this outdoor lighting device in an adjustable, interactive, and modular way. Users can flexibly adjust the lamps according to their needs, control the direction and size of the light, and transform lighting into a dynamic, user-driven experience. At the same time, the lamp body is made of metal, which is modern, sculptural, and weather- resistant. Secondly, the continuous change of light from low to high also symbolizes the continuous ” growth ” of plants, which has a dynamic beauty of life and represents the harmony between nature and technology.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Project3: This project uses “fat” as the core visual language to design a series of wearable art jewelry that simulates the texture and luster of fat. By imitating the visual illusion of jewelry, it satirizes the consumerism and waste in contemporary Michelin restaurants and high-end catering culture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
