One piece of lamp is a multi-interior purpose lamp, which is made with one layer of plywood panel. By cutting wooden sheet with certain interval pattern, the material comes to have an extending feature, which is very applicable to variety of interior objects. Thanks to flexibility of material, it has possibilities that it changes overall lampshade sizes as it assembles with another shade module. Depends on length of each pattern or sustaining component size, it varies either overall shape of lamp or extension limit. Especially, the main essence is concerning about ecological issues, by using components as little as possible and minimizing Chemical material use which is ultimately affect environmental matter.  The design One piece of lamp has crystallized as it goes beyond materialistic limitation, fragility of wooden veneer with defining structural resolution and continuous implementation. Besides, it doesn’t confine only in wooden material. It is inclusive diverse material like PVC, PET and carbon paper with proper manufacturing method.  Basically, the idea of extending material is originating from Metal fence structure
  
 

The peace of light, and the light of peace from the barbed-wire fence at the Military Demarcation Line. Lighting made from wood. This is lighting made from a piece of aviation plywood with the idea originating from the “Barbed- wire fence at the Military Demarcation Line” structure and headlight. It can be integrated into various objects through its three dimensional geometric patterns and produced in many different sizes simply by connecting the modules that utilize the flexibility and expendability of the material.

Lintunen ("small bird")

dish & cup / 170x170x19,87x87x90(mm) / ceramic / 2011

One day, a small sparrow bird flied inside a cafe hall.
Drinking coffee with its tweeting sound was sufficient to enjoy composure at shiny afternoon, at the moment.
Things I could give to "the petit musician" as a reward were a cinnamon roll and one cup of cappuccino.
It was coincident. as if the moment made for the day, at the moment, I thought if the bird was seagull instead of sparrow, It might be horrible. I came up what I used to, old superstition ;  if some bird comes inside of building, it has certain reason to do that. commonly, in order to rewarding  grace, reincarnation of someone or saying farewell last time before sprit going to afterlife,

"symbiosys"

  It didn't matter which purpose the bird had. the truth was it attract every attention from those who were in the cafe. from somewhen, I have put everything into my perspective, assigned certain meaning even normal phenomena, the bird might come in without intention, whoever thought it as a reincarnation, farewell, rewarding grace. it might was there just for seeking eatable thing. Drinking coffee along with hearing bird tweeting sound is mesmerizing. it apparently graved intensive record on my brain. A presence of the bird was sufficient to enjoy composure autumn afternoon in Helsinki. Unfortunately, I didn’t have any coin to throw to the pettie musician. the things what I had were cappuccino and cinnamon roll I ordered on the table. And I calmly put the cinnamon roll dish on the floor as hoping not disturbing its performance filling cafe hall.

As products poduced, rest parts of them are abandonded and become useless things,
Looking back, however, we have lived heartlessly so far alongside neglecting their importance as a vital role which connected with main parts untill producing. In other words, The phenomemnon can be described as a fetus (infant baby) which connected with their mother through umbilical cord before they being born. By highlighting remains' vital role, we could refresh a perspective about things and could recall restrospective and prospective which mean the birth and extinction of things.

"Put your present in the socks, somewhen it wil be back to you"

Christmas often tend to be regarded with a possesion for people who are healthly, rich, and have enough. We otten neglect people who disabled, handicapped, sicked, don’t have enogh so far. Also, we are busy to enjoy our owns. Thus, I suggest a method of sharing through special blood packs. and people readily would get a pleasure and be warm as sharing thier own belonging.

"In generally, people tend to show a stiff motivation and response to donation, This phenomenon has caused passive dedication to society and human being lives. Naturally, it has weaken a bond between mankind as a I suggest new blood bag design and hope to inspire active blood donating boom or event across the world and dedicate to improve a quality of our lives. By donating warmness with pleasure, People would feel being a “Santa-claus” alike. Also, the socks shape welfare and sharing love. "
  

 

“The richest countries in the world suffer from overproduction and goods bulimia. The biggest problem is no longer a lack of possessions, but homes changed to warehouses for them. The question from the beginning of the 1970s, “Necessary or not?”, is more timely than ever. What do we really need?
Goods and product design have developed through different eras and isms, but we people, whether we are millionaires or not, always and forever have but one heart. Neither has the number or shape of our hands changed over the millennia. Whether we want to be or not, we are all anatomically ancient in the midst of all these novelty products. The act of being brings inevitable vulnerability and uncertainty. Our only certainty is our daily trade in dreams and lies. The important things are always very simple. The greatest gift is to just at the right moment find a personal unquestioning and intimate closeness in another human. Santa’s stockings has not been filled with useless Chinese plastic junk.”

“Der Santa-Blutbeutel” ist ein Bluttransfusionbeutel mit medizinischen Zwecken, dessen visuelles Konzept aus
Weihnachtsstrumpf kommt. Menschen fühlen sich selber wie ein Weihnachtsmann, der heimlich seine Patienten Geschenke verteilt, indem sie durch dieses Bluttransfusionsbeuteln Blut spenden. Durch dieses Design werden allmählich mehrere Menschen Herzlichkeit teilhaben und festes Bewusstsein für die Spende und Glückverteilung verändern. Schließlich werden diese Erscheinungen dazu beitragen, die Lebensqualität der Menschengemenschaft zu verbessern und bestimmte Beziehungen zwischen den Menschen zu verstärken.

People can acquirehappiness from flowers.an object that includes flowers can become much more attractive than usual as well.
if we can transport the happiness acquired from flowers into this package, much like a cup of coffe that people enjoy.the package will no longer be instant, with the instan blossom, there will be far more than the blossoming of flower, as people will be able to share this inspiration. By transforming the object's three-dimensional qualities into two-dimensional ones.
the"vase" becomes a visual representation of its functional typology.

the hydroponic flowers. placed in relation with the new compressed and flattened form of the vase, provide new relationships between the vase and its surrounding spaced, while still being able to communicate the ingerent emotions associated with flowers and vases. a compact package that is composed of visual elements that hint towards the traditional flower pot or vase,instant blossom breaks traditional perceptions of the vase as an object.
