Tear and Discover

This design uses a group of household products such as stereos, lamps, clocks and fans as carriers. The leather and labels symbolise the symbolic value of the goods, while the functional components inside the products symbolise the use value, using a destructive interaction to "cut" the symbolic veneer and liberate the honest function, highlighting the contradictory relationship between symbol and function in the consumption of goods.

Noiseless

It is about how the object is affected by light and shadow. More specifically, how the shape is affected by it. That's why the Plain Vase was created with a minimum of lines, carving out a balance between light and shade. The vases are arranged like columns that create a monochrome silence when flowers are let out. This gives the freedom to arrange the flowers as desired. By touching the soft baby skin surface, one notices the evenness that surrounds the vase entirely regardless of shape or size, this is the commonality of each piece.
