Background Of Polypropylene(PP) And Polycarbonate(PC) Bags
Further Background Research
/
01 - Plenty Of Discarded PP,PC Bags :
Being from a farming family, I've encountered numerous discarded PP and PC bags. This inspired me to explore integrating this waste into our lives.
02 - Needs In Current Lifestyle :
In Taiwan, the rising popularity of outdoor activities and high rental rates highlight the demand for portable gear and home accessories. Thus, my goal is to develop flexible accessories that offer new experiences.
Initial Sketch
/
After discovering the beauty vibe that can be created by light passing through PC and PP fabric, I started to develop interesting structures from the inspirations of fashion trends and outdoor clothing styles
Initial Prototypes
/
While sketching, I also developed ideas from hand-making prototypes, which can help me adjust design directions and know the properties of the material.
Further Adjustment
/
01 - Discover The Form Of Lantern
02 - Refining Flexible Strucutre
03 - Match With Different Threads, Details And Mental Components For Different Purposes
FINAL DESIGN
/
Outdoor Activities - Camping Lampshade
To fit in outdoor activities, I combined a smaller structure with simple metal components to make it more portable and easy to match the common lighting.
Extension Work
/
High Renting Rate - Detachable Night Light
Compared with camping lampshade, the night lights need less frequency to be compressed. So I used this opportunity to promote its aesthetic and the scope of its vibe while lighting.
