Designer: Tokujin Yoshioka
Product: ToFu Lamp
Exhibit: Japanese Design Today 100
*I prefer this open and honest design, this lamp entails simplicity and straightforwardness in design. The lamp is not the significance of this design, but the element of light; how it is captured and used.
Company: GWA Bathrooms and Kitchens
Product: Caroma Flow Shower Head
Exhibit: Australian Design International Award
*The concept, process and thinking necessary to create this technological design to be sustainable and promote eco-friendly aims (e.g. reduce carbon emission), has become my favourite product design, due its advance mechanism that helps save water, energy and energy cost. Its element of efficiency had made this shower head the number one product award.
*The design company claims this product can save energy up to 28 per cent compared to an equivalent 3-star shower.
Product: Stool
Exhibit: Au.thentic
*I cannot find any information of this stool. This design is made of purely-white colour plastic-like material; stackable on another similar stool; very broad composition in the legs and seating; bulky appearance but looks extremely light.
*What capture my attention is its 'fat' legs and the curves that goes along the leg from the seat; they look so natural and human-like in body form and the combination of plastic and whiteness had made it so aesthetically pleasing to look at.
Designer: Jennifer Edmund
Product: C-10 Chair
Exhibit: Workshopped 11
*This design is considered my favourite because it needs no glue, no PVC, no nails, no screws, no whatsoever to assemble this C-10. The structure relies on the properties of strength, flexibility, physical tension, all provided by the natural materials of plywood and American walnut; processed materials of fibreglass and polycaprolacton; and the chair is stabilised by numbers of nylon cord to provide seating. This design understands the physics of natural forces and natural elements.
Designer: Anne Mondro
Design: Detroit's Shadow
Exhibit: Love Lace
*I find a liking to this design because of the exceptional details applied here to tell history and create stories of design, the era, and people. This design appealed to me with enjoyable wonderment.
