Wild Cook

Wild Cook, is a device that can make your food or drink smoked. The using procedure of this design is fairly simple for everyone with no complications. Most people believe that the only way to make food smoked is by burning different types of wood but the truth is, you can smoke your food with lots of different materials and create a whole new taste and scent. The designers realized the taste differences around the world and that is why this design is totally flexible when it comes to the matter of usability in different regions.

Innato Collection

The main challenge of the Innato Collection was to turn rapid prototyping into final products evidencing their design process and methods in a aesthetically coherent way. The product reflects the influence of technology and digital fabrication on the design of daily objects and use of traditional materials, in this case seen on the nesting and laser cutting of the 3d models. They evidence an almost direct transition from digital modeling, to prototype, to product, while showcasing the adaptability of such an organic material as ceramics into something geometric and modern.

Cutting and Serving Board

Saturday, 16 November 2024

Hazuto

Hazuto is a fresh aesthetic on the ubiquitous kitchen board space. A brushed metal rim binds the board, protecting it from warping, splitting, knocks and drops. The metal-wood combination is a pleasing new tactile experience. The warmth of the wood contrasts with the austere stainless steel frame. The screws are characteristically placed to complete an industrial sensibility. A negative corner-space forms a handy hook. The singular shape is preserved, absent of unnecessary distractions or additions. The result is an efficient, clean, two-tone form that’s as eye-catching as it is ergonomic.

Hotel Amenities

Friday, 15 November 2024

Marn

Having inspiration from the festive snacks of traditional Tainan culture (an old city in Taiwan full with cultural heritage), by transforming them into a set of hotel amenities, these series of festive snacks always known to the local as "Marn", means fulfillment in Chinese culture; turtle-shaped rice cake as hand soap and soap dish, mung bean cake as toiletries, tang yuan sweet dumpling as hand cream and steamed bun & Tainan brown sugar bun cake as tea set. Tainan culture heritage could be widespread to the world as the hotel is a nice platform to promote local culture.

Drinking Glass

Thursday, 14 November 2024

Curve

Curve Glass is an exploration of function, conceptualized with the idea to solve multiple problems with a minimal intervention on a traditional form. The design offers more usage options when preparing, and brings more freedom when enjoying a drink. A slight recess helps a straw be kept in place while drinking or after stirring. It also allows the glass to dry more efficiently, and brings new possibilities for garnishing a beverage. Curve Glass changes old unnecessary habits, and improves the experience and sensation of using an everyday object, allowing the user to be creative on their own.
