DESIGN NAME: Fragments
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Flask
INSPIRATION: Fragment is the idea of flask design. Life is the fragments of joy & sorrow, we go through all special moments with drinks, no matter alone on a journey or with friends at the party. So each flask is designed as the form of different fragments and three flasks can be well-fitly put together, like each individual of us can share their moments with friends or families together and give each other a hug. The outer mirror-polishing give the idea as fragments of mirror and memories of life. This design is to bring art & inspiration to daily life with little simple objects which are changed to be unconventional.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The fragment flask family is a modern and elegant design of three flasks. It is made from stainless steel 18/10. This type of steel is particularly resistant to acid and corrosion. This set includes 3 flasks, each is designed as a fragment with unconventional shape, and three flasks can be put together as an art block and sculpture. Every piece of the set is polished with a crisp, mirror finish on the exterior. They’ll reflect the beauty all around them just like a mirror.
This flask set is not just simply the containers, but also the art in our daily lives.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2019 in Hong Kong and finished in December in China, and was exhibited in Ambiente Frankfurt (Germany) & Tokyo International Gift Show (Japan) in February 2020.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The material used is Stainless Steel 18/10 which is the high grade of stainless steel, and that is super rust-resistant. With the metalworking techniques of laser cutting and laser welding, the polygonal shape of flasks was made.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Flask-L: L97.5 x W35 x H117mm (8oz)
Flask-M: L95 x W40 x H93mm (6oz)
Flask-S: L78 x W33.5 x H78mm (3oz)

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Materials and exploring various metalworking production techniques were crucial to the success of the production of this project.
CHALLENGE: The creativity is totally beyond the production possibilities. Abnormal and polygonal design of flasks requires special metalworking techniques that the defective rate is high.
