This is a simple environmentally-friendly switch, using ‘ on/off ‘ to express electric ‘ in/out’. It easily breaks the boundary between socket and switch, becoming a kind of power that we need in daily life.
Electrical appliances still consumes even before it is used. Between 10% to 30% of electricity will be saved if the plug is pulled out, but it causes inconvenience for the user.
This device solves the problem. When pulled up the electricity powers any devices plugged in and the lights go out. When pulled down the light goes on and the power supply is cut.

Design Concept
|
My inspiration comes form the ‘ying-yang’. According to the Chinese philosophy, the ‘ying’ stands for slow, the North Pole, cold, tranquil, gentle and also corresponds to the night, where as ‘yang’ stands for the South Pole, restlessness, heat and also corresponds to the day. Thus two entirely different qualities make up the whole activity! Just as the morning and night makes up the whole day! A year, which can’t exist without summer and winter.

Design Concept

We have got accustomed to a busy life, and have gradually forgotten the joys we should have, and lost the observation and interest of our surroundings. To inspire people, we have turned a common thing – throwing away trash. Garbage can be thrown away in the same way that basketballs are thrown into a hoop.

Key” represents keyboards, and “Goods” stands for diversity. The question is when a keyboard is no longer a keyboard, what it could be…?
By keeping its original appearance and alphabets, we transform the keyboard into an article for daily use. Each alphabet’s logic is changed to prompt the different function of the products that are divided into 3 categories. All of them are easy to arrange, and set up as a keyboard with camouflage.

Design Concept

For some hangers, the space of the support arms normally is too thin and narrow, which makes the fabric get out of shape. Even the arms are not strong enough to carry heavy clothes. Paper Honeycomb is one of the traditional Industries in Taiwan. The honeycomb hanger is composed by two boards, which are cut into a prototype of a hanger with the honeycomb structure between each of them.
The design can make the supporting arms stronger to carry heavy clothes and protect the fabric from stretching out of shape.

The theme of our artworks focuses on people. Various characters are used to display how people react when they face different issues, to show the development of cultural differences, and to create the contrast and harmony between the East and West. Chinese traditional paper-cutting is used to express the development and fusion of different cultures.

Design Concept

The artwork displays the idea that “Present and Past” implies “In and Out”.In the fast-paced society, the gap between generation and generation is getting bigger. The trend of returning to the ancients seems to help us rekindle the memories of the past, but it makes the definition of “new and old” more vague. Actually, there is no comparison between the past and present.

Design Concept

Every individual judges the rights and wrongs of a case depending on his own attitudes. “In” and “Out” seem easy to do, but we are not capable doing it sometimes, because every step of “getting in ” or “getting out” requires great courage and responsibility.
The 2-poster reflects the contradiction. The relationship between the inside and outside the circular form expresses that achieving a simple goal needs high price.
