Project I: Flower Lamp<\/h2>\n\n\n\n


\u00a0For this work, I\u2019m happy with how it turned out, especially the way the light reflects on the white part makes it look really nice. However, it does feel more like a prototype than a finished piece. One thing I would change is avoiding the use of hot glue to connect the parts. Since I had already created gaps for connecting each piece, the hot glue ended up looking a bit messy and unnecessary.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The concept behind this work was to create a light that resembles a blooming flower. To make this goal, I decided to use wood to build a spherical structure, and I etched patterns onto white paper to make it easier to fold the paper into petal-like shapes. As for the size, I chose not to make it too small because my design is quite simple, and a slightly larger scale helps highlight its form and details more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project II: Card Holder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I wish I had been able to make the first object work, as it would have aligned more closely with my original theme of transformation, especially since it was based on a vitamin bottle. However, I\u2019m still happy with the final result, the size turned out really well, and the piece has the potential to serve multiple functions. In the future, I\u2019d like to add some color to the top to enhance its visual appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In my process, the goal of the design was to create an organic shape on the surface. I had to print it multiple times because, in the beginning, I printed the whole piece as one solid object. However, I realized that the support material was too difficult to remove. To solve this problem, I decided to split the model into a top and bottom part and then glue them together after printing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Project III: Geometric Folding Screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For my final project, I really like how everyone\u2019s work connects together, and the frame turned out beautifully. Its round yet simple shape keeps it from looking boring and gives it a clean, unified look. Everyone had enough space to express their own design ideas, which made the overall piece more diverse and interesting. I also felt more comfortable and familiar using the CNC machine for this project, which helped me contribute more confidently to the final outcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Through the process, I want the design to have more open space that allows it to be see-through, creating a clean and simple aesthetic. This way, it can easily complement other people’s designs. My original shape had sharper, more angular edges, but I\u2019ve grown to prefer the smoother, softer curves, it feels more balanced and visually pleasing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
