Step into the world of the Crease Series, where you'll find conventional metal processing redefined. I challenge the norms with the hydraulic press brake, taking metal beyond the confines of traditional molds. Imagine metal not just as rugged and tough but with a unique, ductile nature that allows me to create patterns that reveal a surprisingly soft side. With each press, I use the same mold to craft different shapes, reducing carbon emissions and enhancing efficiency — a testament to innovation and your commitment to sustainability. Here, metal bends and folds like fabric, breaking away from its traditional impressions.

系列作品以探索油壓折板製程挑戰常規，傳統金屬加工被重新定義，讓金屬材料超越模具的限制。金屬經常給人堅硬與粗獷的印象，透過其獨特的延展性，創造出人意料金屬柔軟的樣貌。每一次壓製，我使用同一模具塑造不同形狀，降低碳排放並提高效率 —— 這是創新的證明，也是對可持續性承諾的見證。在這個計畫中，金屬像布料一樣彎曲和折疊，打破了其傳統印象。

" SOMETHING BEYOND THE MOLDS "

You've always seen metal as strong and resilient, but have you witnessed its softer character? Let me show you a different perspective, one that I've discovered through hydraulic press folding. By pushing past the limitations of molds and exploring the innate pliability of metal, I create unique designs that soften its image, inviting you to appreciate metal's softer nuances.

金屬總是被視為堅強與耐用，但您有見過它的柔軟特質嗎？「超出模具外的事」通過油壓折板製程發現的不同視角。超越模具的限制，探索金屬的可塑性，創造出獨特的設計，使它的形象柔和，欣賞金屬更細膩的變化。

01 | VASE

Experience a vase that interweaves the enduring nature of metal with the flowing lines of fabric. With inspiration drawn from the creases of handbags, bucket bags, and totes, these vases present metal in a fabric-like form — soft to the eye yet sturdy in function.

體驗一種融合了金屬的光澤與包包流線造型的花瓶。系列花瓶的造型靈感來自於手提包、水桶包和托特包的皺摺，展現了金屬的布料般形態 —— 視覺上柔和，功能上堅固。

02 | LIGHTING

Imagine light fixtures that embody both form and function in their very structure. I craft these using bulbs matching the mold sizes, so when the metal sheet is pressed and shaped, it doesn't just mimic a mold — it becomes an integral part of the lighting design, illuminating your space with its inherent beauty.

燈具在結構上融合了形式與功能。我使用與模具大小相同的燈泡，當金屬片經過壓製和成形後，燈泡像是置換了壓製過程的模具，嵌入燈罩造型。成為照明設計中不可或缺的一部分，以其固有的美照亮空間。

03 | CHAIR

Envision a flat sheet of metal transformed into a chair that supports and intrigues. I press into the metal to draw out concave and convex shapes, adding not only to the metal's integrity but also to its ability to support you, crafting a load-bearing masterpiece that cradles you comfortably.

轉化一張平坦的金屬片成為一把具支撐性又引人入勝的椅子。在金屬板上壓出凹凸形，不僅增強了金屬的結構完整性，也增加了其支撐能力，打造出一個能使人們舒適乘坐的作品。

" FEWER MOLDS, MORE VERSATILITY "

Join me in a process that values versatility over quantity. I utilize a single mold to fashion a multitude of shapes, striving for diversity in simplicity. This approach not only reduces our environmental footprint by cutting down on carbon emissions but also demonstrates a dedication to innovative and sustainable design practices. Together, let's embrace this eco-conscious journey and witness how a single mold can reveal endless possibilities.

作品製作的過程重視多樣性而非數量。我使用單一模具來打造多種形態，力求在簡約中尋求多樣性。這種方法不僅通過減少特定造型的模具製作，使我們降低了碳排放和環境足跡，還展示了對創新和可持續設計實踐。一起擁抱這個環保之旅，見證單一模具如何展現無限的可能性！
