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.
: We try to create a card board made structure that can carry human weight without using any glue nor hardware.
: We have created multiple prototype of Spiral Stool to figure out all details in order to achieve it self-assemblable. It was millimetre adjustments we needed to make to finalise the design.
: Spiral Stool is already on Taiwanese market, but not yet international. We like to bring it to gain more oversea attentions.
: Spiral Stool was initiated at June, 2014. We made first prototype August, 2014. After while we tried a few more prototype to adjust, and finally April, 2015 we launched it in Taiwanese market.
: We have been working with cardboard material to create furniture, interior as well as self-standing structure. Especially with Spiral Stool, we try hard to make it able to place on market as competitive product.
: We have a paper manufacturing partner, which has been producing Spiral Stool in Taiwan. Currently we have been distributing it by ourselves in Taiwanese market.
: We are interested in working with sustainable material such as recyclable and/or reusable. Cardboard material particularly is very interesting because of its cost performance and easy accessibility. We like the idea of making creative design with economical price, rather than going with very high end price.
: We are always keen to other designs work on paper or interesting material with new technologies.
: We are targeting people who like designed item and have idea of sustainability.
: Spiral Stool is DIY cardboard furniture, which does not require any glue or hardware. The precision of detail is very unique and that make this design very special.
: The name is after the Spiral Pavilion we designed in 2014, which is also made with cardboard. Spiral Stool is specifically designed to place in the pavilion.
: We work with 3D computer modelling tool, such as Rhino 3D, and use cardboard CNC machine to produce prototype.
: The fractal design is very special.
: We work with cardboard manufacturer in Taiwan.
: We rely heavily on the 3D computer modelling technology to make sure the precision of detail.
: We did some market research for cardboard design product and what is the accessible range of product price we need to achieve.
: We had hard time figuring out the non-glued joint system. We have adjusted by millimetre scale to make it more tight and work.
: We like to expose our concept of creating furniture and thought design competition is always good platform.
: There is alway a lot to learn from each design project. Especially when we have hard time making sure it works. Spiral Stool is all about material property and utilising it to achieve structural strength.
: No, that is all.
