Face_without_face 2007 Project 'Why not?'.

We can fill time with a lot of different things. The existing clocks has the limits of application in space since its system is made to be rotated by the central axis. Therefore, by arranging works part on the exterior, the center of the clock can be turned into another value. Its values and meanings are flexible that they differ from how the users make a choice on its condition such as location and method. The back side contains minimal information, not indicating the hour hand, so that it can minimize the error the users would make when recognizing time.



Dust_Pan_Vacuum_Cleaner (2009)

This is a dustpan vacuum cleaner for a desk space. This project started from a connection between cleaning products. It has a shape of normal dust pan with vacuum system inside of handle. User can use it just normal way without vacuum system with brush. The way of using is up to user whether use it with vacuum system or not. Dust pan shows feedback for user how much collected the dust and brush is a perfect tool to clean a space easily and quickly.

The 1.5 liter water bottle is formed into the shape of a concertina tube, which can be varied to the users’ amount of water left. Making more space in the bag as well as decreasing shipping costs. The initial concept was brought in the background of Melbourne for my exchange student period. I found it common in Australia, people enjoy taking out 1.5 water bottles with them as well as smaller ones hence the large size of it.

Mac book Air,’ Apple’s latest master-piece, is the world’s thinnest laptop ever. However, here in the U.K, we still use the world’s biggest three-pin plug. Most people carry laptops with adapters and plugs because laptop batteries have limitations on the time they can be used. When people carry laptops with U.K plugs in a bag, it always causes problems such as tearing paper, scratching laptop surfaces and, sometimes, it breaks other stuff. The main problem is the UK standard 3-pin plug is not considered in the process of designing for mobility. My all intention of the project was directed to make the plug as slim as possible and follow the British Standard regulation at the same time. ‘Folding Plug’ changes the shape form the normal U.K plug into a 10mm thickness object, solving these damaging problems.

The ‘Folding Plug’ is also advantageous when people have to travel aboard. People normally carry up to three electronic devices for their long-term journey, such as a mobile phone, a digital camera or an iPod, However, we usually carry only one universal plug. Whilst multi-plug adapters and USB chargers allow us to use one plug socket for many devices, they are still bulky objects. The flat properties of my folding plug have inspired the development of a multi-plug adapter that also performs in space-saving ways. By using the folding plug whilst it is folded, ‘Multi Flat Plug’ and ‘USB Charger’ allows for 3 devices to be plugged into the mains, but only inhabiting a little more space than a standard 3-pin UK plug.
