Glowing Eustoma

Glowing Eustoma is a living flower lamp created as a conceptual lighting design. The eustoma is a flower that appears green in daylight and gives off light at night. A biotechnology process allows the plant to glow through leaf vein absorption of high-entropy oxides, which are in line with European Union standards. No genetic modification is used, and the flower grows in the same way as a natural one. Several luminous colors are shown each night. The flower measures 50 mm in width, 50 mm in depth and 350 mm in height. The intent is to offer a calm experience at night.

Draw One

Draw One is a calendar shaped like a tissue box. Each sheet is printed with a single date, and users pull out one sheet each day to update the calendar. A drawn sheet cannot be used again, which reflects the one-way nature of time. An opening on the front shows the remaining sheets and the rest of the year. The box is made of wooden boards cut to standard sizes, marked by laser engraving, joined with environmentally friendly glue and waxed to keep the natural texture of the wood. The intent is to encourage users to value time.

Ecopace

Ecopace is a household machine that turns kitchen waste into eco-enzyme. Peels, vegetables and sugar water are poured in from the top, as prompted on the screen. During the first month of fermentation, Ecopace releases gas and stirs the mixture automatically each day. After three months, the liquid enzyme flows into a tank, while a screen layer filters the residue, which can be removed from the side and dried for use as fertilizer. The outer shell is stainless steel and the inner container is made by ABS injection molding. Eco-enzyme can be used for deodorizing and composting.

The Island Is a Symbol of the Times

The Island Is a Symbol of the Times is a signage and wayfinding system for a city showroom at the artificial island port of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. The design is based on curved surfaces that recall the forms of yachts and sea waves. Curves shape the appearance, decoration, and production of both indoor and outdoor signs. Seamless splicing, sectional forming, and hand hammering ensure smooth outlines. Indoor signage combines metal with cast aquamarine resin, so the wave shapes of the metal base remain visible. High-contrast colors make each sign easy to find.
