Edible Bowl
2013
The Royal college of Art
Short term project/Solo project
Plastic is a substance the earth cannot digest. This edible bowl is made of several natural ingredients to address this issue. The bowl is shaped and solidified through strong pressing process, so that it would not be broken nor melt easily. Even though the edible bowl is not a perfect alternative, it provides intellectual curiosity to those seeking environmentally friendly materials.
Guéridon Ex09
The geometry of Gueridon Ex09 was further enhanced by the advanced engineering technology of Altair which allowed the artist to see the inner flows of stress and optimize the design and stability of the guéridon. During the production, 3D printing was also used to realize the form which was then casted in aluminium alloy, hand crafted and finished.
Nodus

Role: Design Assistant
Screen light, Carbon fibre, Fiber optic cable, LED, aluminium, W30cm x L100cm x H185cm
Inspired by the traditional Korean paper weaving method, “Ji Seung” (circa 13th century), Nodus which means “knots” in Latin is made of carbon fibre and fiber optic cables that have been hand woven into 10,000 knots, combining Korean traditional craft techniques with modern high-tech industrial materials. The surface of this unique piece is made of hand knotted carbon fibre, which is then interwoven in crisscross striped patterns with fiber optic cables chosen for their light emit- ting properties. This meticulous technique gives Nodus an irregular luminosity evoking an artistry akin to a hand sketch on a canvas.
