“Under your halo” / 家庭,行动主义,身份,思辨设计,体验设计,亲密关系
Who are we in a family? Mom? Dad? Somebody's legal guardian? That sounds great. But children who live in families without these typical roles can have plenty of love as well. Besides conveying responsibility relationship and blood bond, these labelling roles categories families.
If you have ever observed, sometimes people are hurt by this invisible border, especially children.
Families are diversifying, and the proportion of non-nuclear families is gradually increasing. This situation makes it necessary and urgent for us to question the rationality of family categorisation and explore the current identification system's dark side.
My response is an identification mechanism that is different from the legal and kinship status system. Relatively, it emphasises the human difference in natural attributes and the wholeness of all family members' identity, rather than assigning roles by labelling. In the utopia, Yugoo (the device) defines each family member with a short sound note. Sound identities are not labels nor comparable characteristic, which leads to the disappearance of family boundaries.

Engram / 脑神经科学,体外设备,未来概念设计,交互,亲密关系
is a life-long accompanying organic device for recording and sharing future human's neural signals. It is designed to enable people to interact without traditional expression methods, such as language. Pei hopes it can help human-human intimacy in his dystopian scenario full of loneliness in 2050. He left the project in uncertainty and unsettling because he thinks that's where the value of projects about the future is.

In the context of product gamification, both positive and negative impacts on us from games will be magnified a lot in the future. Game, a friend who was born at the beginning of humankind, now needs to be reconsidered, from today’s perspective.

Pintu / 概念车,无人驾驶,汽车内饰, UX, UI, 服务设计
Self-driving concept car
Product design&designer of the year

I got the idea of Pintu based on a fear for loss of face-to-face communication and intimacy among people in the future, when Internet of Things are so advanced that people don’t need to go out of home at all. Then I found there may be another opportunity for real world communication, which is the driverless car technology that sets people free during car trip.

Relic / 奢侈品卫浴, 陶瓷,模具
washbasin
Inspired by chinese ritual culture, I designed a washbasin collection for personal cleanliness ceremony. Steps can lead to sense of time stretch and consequence. With different depth of steps involved, we can hear water dropping every time after washing, this is designed as the last part of the design. Traditional drain and plug arereplaced by a cube shape item which is transformed from traditional Chinese royal family’s container called Ding whose shape could perfectly fit the design of steps.

Ditto / 纪念品,小产品,厨房用品porcelain kitchenware
Ditto is a waterjug collection aimed on giving user primitive operating experience. Intead of holding on handles, users can grab the three “tubes” or hold at the bottom as shown in the gallery, depend on how their feel more comfort. The inspiration comes from water wripples which are caused by stone impact. Ditto jugs are mass moulded and the texture is giving by CNC milling machine, but the final product remains “rough” and full of sense of handmad
