"POSE - the tripod case" was a concept submitted to Quirky.com, selected & developed to the prototype phase; it was undergoing the finalizing of the price through a "Pricing Game" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJRm-jRE5wQ

The design development of POSE became a Sundance Documentary Episode under the Quirky Series (Season 1, episode 4: "I Crush It") http://www.sundancechannel.ca/shows/quirky/episodes/i-crush-it#.V1nI8Fcfu-o

Designed with the intent to become a product of Western and Eastern eating cultures, this 3D-printed utensil utilizes the flexibility of plastic to transform dynamically to the users’ needs.

As a work in progress prototype, the study for an alternative “spork-like” tool was necessitated from a sustainability standpoint in restaurant deliveries and take-outs.

Specifically, it was inspired by my experience with ordering take-out in Chinese restaurants that often included a myriad of utensils that were either unnecessary or didn’t include my preferred eating tool.

Designed to be a solution for the consumption of shelled nuts, Infinutty contains two pockets that separate unopened nuts from their empty shells. The dynamic act of eating any shelled nut is immediately followed with a shift from being desirable to a nuisance. These experiences, especially the repeated consumption in one seating, inspired the duo container.

Fabricated with 0.8mm aircraft plywood for its malleability, the piece was first laser cut to create its shape and tabs for textiles to loop onto and then hand bent with steam to create rigidity. From there, the fabric component was cut to shape and had button holes prepared to create a hammock-like pouch that held the weight of the nuts through the laser cut tabs.

Fusion restaurants lack a set of cutlery that can complement their passion for mixing different cultural flavours, eclectic environment and bold sense of dining. 

Fusion food has been widely popular in its own way that people want to experience a different environment that can offer to stimulate their senses – from environment, taste and experience. alternative to the old, boring foods. Diner’s palates and taste-buds are changing rapidly.  

People get out more, travel more and as a result, there is an influx of inspirations and curiosity that drives the popularity of fusion foods as an alternative to regular dining. There is now the exotic, the weird, the unimaginable.

This project explores the properties and possibilities of using cork bottle stoppers as a repurposed material. 

The project has been a collaboration between the local start-up company Corkit. 

With today’s gadgets being made of sustainable semiconductors and plastics, users are unable to appreciate the added beauty of natural materials and perhaps the strong contrast when put aside common industrial materials.

Haven Rig is a front faring mounted case that contains a tent, tarp and motorcycle cover. The case will universally fit a tent of the user’s choice (3rd party
manufacturer such as REI, MEC, etc). The case also contains a tarp (extra fly sheet) that is detachable, as well as a motorcycle cover. The case is mounted to
a sub frame and is easily removed from the sub frame when it is not needed. The sub frame can stay mounted but can also be unbolted and removed easily.
This allows Haven Rig to use motorcycle specific sub frames and a universal sized fairing case.

We rebranded Corelam™ by delivering a promotional item and a website. Corelame is an uniqe plywood. Our concept is to present its sustainable, beautiful and durable features. We discovered the beauty of shadow caused by its curves and sun light, so we decided to make a light holder for promotion purpose.
