We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Jin Zhang about their original and creative Coffee Table design work. Jin Zhang is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original coffee table works.
Jin Zhang ("JZ") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Big Dipper Coffee Table. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
JZ : My design inspiration came from the Big Dipper in the night sky.
JZ : In this design, I tried to explore the relationship between the individual and the collective and the connection between man and nature. Each small tray like every single individual. The legs below are independent and interconnected. We need independent space and to be respected, but we still need collective care and love. Just like pointing the way to people in the sky, Big Dipper make people sitting together on the ground. Everyone has an independent table. We are independent and not lonely.
JZ : Limit production and sale.
JZ : About 1 months.
JZ : This is designed for my own furniture brand-WOOLLYWOODY.
JZ : It's my own production at the moment. If anyone is interested, please contact me.
JZ : In today's era, mobile communication has replaced people's face-to-face communication. People are becoming more and more independent and unwilling to integrate into society. This is very dangerous. And I want to tell you, through this design, that people are collective animals. In collective loyalty, you can be well protected and even better.
JZ : People who work in creative work, or people who are interested in creative ideas.
JZ : No one has yet thought about how to make the tea table more detailed. It's easy to get the wrong cup at the party, and many people don't think about how to avoid this embarrassment. Through this tea table, the independent individual is more integrated into the collective. Make people more open and more willing to share.
JZ : According to my source of inspiration.
JZ : Rhinoceros, Keyshot
JZ : It's easy to get the wrong cup at the party, and many people don't think about how to avoid this embarrassment. Through this tea table, the independent individual is more integrated into the collective. Make people more open and more willing to share.
JZ : How to make it after the design is finished. For example, the size of the leg has been modified many times. And in the process of making, we have broken a lot of table legs.
JZ : On the one hand, I want to prove my design ability, on the other hand, to let more people know and like Big Dipper.
JZ : A design must take into account the later production. It is good for designers to know more about engineering technology.
