Through careful observations, I discovered that some people prefer to keep shoes in their original shoe boxes in order to keep the dust away and to prolong their endurance. Thus, the question of how to store shoe boxes came to mind. The concept proposed here is a simple and easy method for stacking shoe boxes and keeping them tidy and organized. The design is of great convenience for the user, because with the three pillars of measured distance creating a triangular space, it allows them to draw out any one of the boxes from the stack without it collapsing. The pillars are able to firmly hold the stack by stopping the two upper and lower boxes from falling out. Even though this solution may not be perfect, it is a creative and simple way of bringing convenience into our lives with storing shoes, and also, a great way to keep the hallway tidy with only little space needed.







This table was designed for the convenience of its users. It is easily self assemble and disassemble, making it particularly suitable for use in occasions like outdoor parties or banquets due to its light weight and flexible structures. The table frame is constructed from 3 pieces of steel frames with 6 counter sunk (B.S.F. screw) creating a triangle structure which can be taken apart completely when necessary. Therefore, the cost of manufacturing and delivery of this table can be significantly reduced due to the advantages of its design.




The concept of this chair extended and developed from the previous design. Although the frame adopted the same structure, there was a change in the seating material from wood and flat metal sheets to bended metal sheets. The essential difference with this chair was the application of bended metal sheets as a seating base, which created more comfortable facets for the shape of human body. Even though the various bended metal sheets inserted were of different levels and depths, the thinness of the folded up structure remained the same measurement of 19mm. Both the backrest and seat base were made up of pieces of bended mental sheets that were first laser cut then treated by bending machine. The result was that the chair had better ergonomic shape with a touch of modern beauty.
























The image above shows the heating component of a hair dryer. When I was seeking initial inspirations for this project, I discovered that the functioning process of hair dryers was similar to that of light bulbs where they both generated heat and light with iron wires. In general, light bulbs were developed to produce sufficient light with less heat and lower electricity consumption. My idea was to express the contrary; to apply heat and dim light to create a lighting object. In this project, I kept the unique lines of the hair dryer and adapted its shape into a traditional-looking light bulb. The final product of this design was a strong blowing, high temperature, smoothly outlined lighting object which was not only decorative, but was also a functional electric tool like a heater.
