Min-Kyu Choi designed a solu/on to the problem. He came up with a way to fold the plug flat.

Min-Kyu Choi also thought further. He wondered if there was even more scope to the design of the plug.

To be picked up and moved like a

bowling ball.

Table lamp with changeable post-card as lampshade. This lets the user customize the design.

Michael Marriot doesn’t want to

design completely new objects, just to see what we have

being used in a different way.

Many would say that the design has no technique, but the design is about the imagination, about play and fun.

Long Crawling thing

Even the titles of the works are

humorous. This is called:

“Long Crawling Thing”

Glass Chandelier: 18 wine glasses and

clear clips for self-assembly.

Richard Shed Interaction / Process / Context / Function

The design will interact with the space around

it. Almost becoming part of the space,

rather than staying on its own.

The hook for jackets is two things combined. It is a sign for where to put your jacket and the hook itself.

Richard Shed asks questions like: how can an object work better and become two things at once?

Richard Shed asks questions like: how can an something become adaptable to the space I am in?

Sometimes the design is completely functional, at other times the use of image makes us feel more secure in a psychological way.

Solutions for spaces look at real issues. This space had issues with sound so the design of the ceiling is sound absorbing.

Exhibition space design made it feel like the work surrounded the viewer.

Exhibition space design made it feel like the work surrounded the viewer. But the use of materials is honest and cheap.

Each day for 30 consecutive days I attempted to make

something creative. I hoped to force myself

into making quick decisions, creating things instinctively.

A traditional door mat actually becomes the carpet for the whole house.

Form and function together

Even the smallest object in a space is

treated with the same attention to detail.

While the form looks patterned,

it actually serves to cool

the building by moving fresh air

around.

Breaking up a space and playing with the dimensions means we look at it afresh and in a new way.

Even the most ugly of forms can be inspirational

Each pole extension actually draws light into the building.

Sometimes ideas come from processes as well as from shapes.

Looking at the shapes in nature can give us so much inspiration.
