雪花铁皮俗称白铁皮,是一种金属镀板,以其表面纹理似雪花而得名。这种材料因价格低廉、易于加工而被大量用做各类容器、水管。
这样一种随处可见并且充满廉价感、标准化的铁皮工艺,是否能有全新的可能?
Galvanized iron sheet is cheap and easy to process. People make it into containers and pipes. Because of its snow-like texture on the surface, it is also called "snowflake iron sheet".
对于桌面物件,我们总希望是精致、规整而赏心悦目的。我希望将雪花铁皮这种充满工业感、粗旷感、廉价感的材料转变为有个性的的桌面用品。它的粗糙感、工业感以及雪花状的表面肌理继续被保留下来,以提醒我们它曾经被使用的命运。几何状是用现代的设计语言打破组,使这组作品充满构成感,并且由造型去定义使用。作品也极大简化了加工工艺,毕竟“简单”也是雪花铁皮本有的气质之一。
I hope to reuse this material, which is full of industrial, rough and cheap feeling… for personalized desktop products.

阳光、鲜花、若隐若现的雪花、金属的折射—— 这不是一片廉价的铁皮,而是闪亮亮的周末早晨。

Like origami, it's done by user himself. After all, simplicity is one of the inner qualities of "snowflake iron sheet".
