I'm too sad to separate mug cup

The keywords for this project were “weight” and “tableware”. The designer’s translation was that the weight comes from gravity; research on what objects look like when they are falling down followed. The cup looks like “the moment of falling down and how it provides special emotion to people”.

Cloud Umbrella

Natural motivations for urban life inspired Cloud Umbrella. Commenting on the Umbrella, the designers said: “If I want to go somewhere, I’ll quickly run to a bus station that has a roof and then get on the bus. It only takes about five minutes. That’s the reason why I don’t bring an umbrella, excluding special condition of weather. Therefore, I believe that motivation is more important than function.”
It’s hoped that a playful and fashionable item like the Cloud Umbrella could encourage more motivation for urban life. Most of all, “happiness was the most important concept for people in gloomy weather.”
