About Zero Llum Circular・Zero
La varietat d'aquest producte porta la llum i el temps, l'aigua i la transparència de la plasticitat que ens permet veure i tocar el temps. L'agulla esquitxa l'aigua i crea petites ones cada segon, com cada esdeveniment recurrent que s'activa. En un cercle complet de temps, podem trobar la singularitat i la bellesa en les nostres vides quotidianes des de cada perspectiva de l'aigua. Aspirem a integrar el vidre 100% reciclable a les nostres vides quotidianes; com es diu, acaba en zero i neix en zero.

- Production Technology
- This product is cooperated with Spring Pool Glass. It is made of recycled glass and combined with soft light which touches the users’ heart.

It can attract the target customers who focus on spiritual enjoyment and make the house more comfortable. It not only creates the commercial value but also promotes the sustainability. - Design Challenge
- Solving the limitations of shape and modularity in the glass product, finding out the meaning and expression of circular glass, and experiment the different effect between water and light.
- Research
- The process of recycling glass is quite complex. We try to find materials which similar with glass's characteristics, showing its value of glass in circulation, and bring it into our daily lives. Compared with transparent materials, acrylic shows the advantages of easy processing, but it cannot be recycled like glass. In addition, we find that light, water and time are all changeable media in the relationship between transparency and glass. They exist in various forms in nature. It is hoped that this product will be presented in a way that can produce light and shadow changes, such as ripples spreading and water droplets falling, etc. Finally, we removed the scale and tick tock to prevent people feeling stressed.
- Inspiration
- Glass is 100 percent recyclable, just like nature and the endless cycle of life. When the glass sand melts at high temperatures, it becomes as soft as water, revealing the subtle relationship between water, transparency and time.
Hope to present all values through the light, and bring the resonance of heart and glass into the products. When light and shadow get into the mind, it brings out the romantic meaning of glass regeneration. - Project Duration
