| DESIGN NAME: The Dough PRIMARY FUNCTION: Shelf INSPIRATION: it all began with an accident encounter of a galvanized iron sheet shop. Even though the galvanized iron sheet is a cheap, low-class industry material, and mostly used for containers and restaurant chimney, I was still fascinated by it, and keen on using it in furniture design and explore new possibilities within the material. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: this project grows on the root of a cheap industry material called galvanized iron sheet. The unique way of adapting the flexibility and strength within the material creates a piece of work that demonstrate the essential relationship between material and structure. Meanwhile, when the "soft" wood becomes "strong" structure, and the "hard" metal turns into "flexible" space, the break-through of material stereotype also can be found within the design. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: unlike normal shelf, the Dough suggests users to put books and things more randomly. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: the project started in early November 2016 in Chengdu, China and finished in late November 2016 in Beijing, China. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
