We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: I was particularly inspired by the natural correspond between physical and non-physical the co-existence between purposes.
: I carried out a variety of experiments to find out the different expanding gradational effects between heat and various materials; I burnt several types of metal sheets, including bronze, titanium, aluminum, steel and copper and all in different thicknesses. During the cleaning process I lost some fingernails when I used hydrochloric acid. I might say that all the various experiments I did for creating Heating Nova show the alchemical aspects of my design processes. And… exploring the inter-relationship between the material and the heat was my main intention. The transformation of the object, which possesses a fascinating poetry aspects of the ordinary practice of heater.
: I will mature this work and eventually will make into a real product. It will be good if I can get a real support from relevant companies.
: 13 months
: The 'heat' simply attracted me in many ways. It does not only physically make space warm, but it further provides warm sincere space and emotion. The re-interpretation of everyday practices and senses led me to shape such a design scenario.
: I would like to lease this design through a company. I am sure the design possesses many concepts in relation to marketing, inspiration, re-creation and more... It is a heating agency that can remarkably signify the heating unit.
: [Relevant to above answers]
: I am looking for poetry. Everybody can appreciate this design.
: It expresses the fundamental value and originality of the heat.
: The name ‘Heating Nova’ expresses the expansion of the heat. The object shows well the growing mysterious energy from the bottom and that linked me with kinds of name.
: Computer: Rhino, 3dMax, Photoshop, Vray and more.. Prototype: Titanium (Grade 6), Sandpapers, Hammer, hydrochloric acid, Laser cutter and more...
: Heating Nova is an exquisite product that can poetically express the principles of the heat emerging and growing into spaces, which also deliberately states the expanding emotional value of the warm heat. It possesses the symbolic property of the heat by using a rare thoughtful combination of the material and its function. It uniquely communicates with its own regular practice and will record itself with the growing heat and all these scenarios will ask users to broadly perceive and interpret the comprehensive meaning of the heat. It is a heating agency with a fundamental value of the heat created by unique juxtaposition.
: I made it all myself from cutting to polishing surfaces. I had bought the materials from local titanium factory.
: The design does not possess high technology or technological concept. It is all about re-interpretation of everyday practice. It is about re-creation of our everyday understanding.
: I investigated diverse types of heater from central heating system type to ceramic, halogen, gas, electric and boiling type radiator. I further made lots of inspiring experiments with various materials.
: It was quite dangerous to handle all these heating processes during my experiment. During the cleaning process I lost some fingernails when I used hydrochloric acid. I might say that all the various experiments I did for creating Heating Nova show the alchemical aspects of my design processes.
: I was looking for appropriate platform to reveal my design identity. A'award has a very good broad casting and pressing ability to worldwide and that fascinated me quite much.
: [Relevant to above answers]
: [Below is an part of introduction of my original description of this design essay] Nature constantly develops and never swiftly transforms. The gradually changing forms and the transiting mesh works between instances of the nature may deliberately show the properties of the phenomenological aspects of the space and practices. The blooming of a flower can be an appropriate metaphorical value of this progressive condition. It transforms and changes its condition while at the same time incorporating into its environmental surroundings and developing itself into a mature stage; expressing its condition by varying form: a beautiful term of Mother Nature Technology.
