Product Design


Shape
What a better way to recycle the materials instead of throwing them away. Shape, derived from the dot and line, plays an important role in design. We can appreciate how several similar curvilinear shapes interact with each other to create a whole new one, a unique chair. Using the circle, the basic life structure that everyone is familiar with, as the dominant shape helps to create a safe, peaceful, relaxing, protecting atmosphere. So,  if you want to turn your bike into a rocking chair, you know what to do.



 
Line
Though at a simple glance it might look like a normal, and modern shelf unit that could be sold at an any furniture store, there’s more a whole lot more. Line, derived from the dot and the most important visual element, shows structure and balance in this simple yet interesting and playful shelf. Line is every where, from straight, rectilinear to curvilinear edges.  



Texture
It might look as a regular boring block yet its appearance states the opposite. Texture, whether visual or tactile, frequently serves as a stand-in for the qualities of our touching sense. We are extremely curious beings but sometimes we are held against, limited by the many "Do not touch" signs that do nothing more than enticing it viewers to actually touch it. Most of out textural experience is optical, we only see, not tactile, touch, feel. In this simple block, texture, achieved through patter, was added to relieve the block from its flatness in order to create a more interesting piece.
