| DESIGN NAME: Wishful Penrose PRIMARY FUNCTION: Adjustable Cup Pad INSPIRATION: In order to improve the condition that there are only fixed sizes cup pads in our daily life, we redesigned it. The original design concept is focusing on the simplicity, referring to contradictory space and two-dimensional geometry. Penrose triangle is the most classic and basic one in the contradictory space, so we decide to use this figure to make "the most pure form of impossibility" possible. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The main idea is to make our insulation pad easily convert a Cup pad to a Pot pad and vice versa. Customers can adjust the Penrose to the desired size with just a sliding, feeling like playing a Rubik’s Cube. The spray paints on both sides are customisable to fulfil every customer’s taste. It’s light, decorative, space saving but plays a key role in your kitchen most importantly, It’s fun to use, isn’t it? OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: We discussed and did lots of brain storm trying to find how to make a cup pad adjustable. In order to be sustainable we also keep thinking how to realize it with the least amount of material. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in February 2018 in Italy at Turin Albertina Academy. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The materials are wood and acrylic board. We used laser cutting technology in cutting wood and pressing film technology on the surface of wood plank. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The cup pad : L:161mm W:139mm H:9mm The cup pad after stretching : L:225mm W:195mm H:9mm TAGS: cup pad,adjustable,wood RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We investigate the relationship between wood and acrylic board, analysis and select the suitable glue. CHALLENGE: in the first stage it confused us that how do we turn a small cup pad into a big one, vice versa. lucky we get inspirations from the drawer, the cross-sectional area becomes bigger when opening, and could be easily closed. in the mean time we also concerned about the choice of materials.

NAME: Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti di Torino PROFILE: The Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti ("Albertina Academy of Fine Arts") is an institution of higher education in Turin, Italy. Its precursor dated to the first half of the 17th century. In 1678 the academy was formally founded as the Academy of Painters, Sculptors and Architects (Accademia dei Pittori, Scultori e Architetti) by Marie Jeanne of Savoy. It was re-established under the name Albertina in 1883 by Charles Albert of Sardinia, who had architect Giuseppe Talucchi design and realize a new building on the former site of the convent of the Church of San Francesco da Paola. The academy witnessed the transition of artistic movements during the late 19th to early 20th century, from realism to eclecticism and the Liberty style, in the works of painters Antonio Fontanesi and Giacomo Grosso, and sculptors Vincenzo Vela and Odoardo Tabacchi. Turin became a leading centre of visual arts during the mid-20th century. The academy is home to a gallery (the Pinacoteca), which was founded to serve in the training of the academy's students. Its collection includes that donated by Mossi di Morano, the Archbishop of Casale Monferrato, in 1828, and 16th-century cartoons by Gaudenzio Ferrari and his school, which were donated by Charles Albert in 1832. The Mossi di Morano collection includes 16th–17th-century Flemish and Dutch works, 17th–18th-century Venetian paintings, and important 16th–17th-century Piemontese works including those of Defendente Ferrari and Giovanni Martino Spanzotti, among others. Notable works include Saint Ambrose and Saint Gregory, Doctors of the Church by Filippo Lippi, Ferrari's The Lamentation of Christ, Deposition in the Sepulchre by Maarten van Heemskerck, After the Battle by Cornelis de Wael, Portrait of a Gentleman, Three-Quarters View by Nicolas Lagneau, Hercules and the Nemean Lion by Ignazio Collino, and Giuseppe Pietro Bagetti's Mountainous Landscape with Coastal Inlets.
