It recognizes the dedication and skill of designers who produce work that stands out for its thoughtful development and innovative use of materials and technology. These designs are acknowledged for their professional execution and potential to influence industry standards positively. Winning this award highlights the designer's ability to blend form and function effectively, offering solutions that enhance people's lives and wellbeing.
Regarding Beltman Art
Beltman has a very recognizable style of composition, it has a human form, but his joints are mechanical, as if dominated. He has strong emotions and a personality. The complex lines are intertwined from the center, incredibly suffocating, and gradually diverge and spread to the whole body, becoming easy and straightforward. Its full-body visual presentation conveys a straightforward concept, control. The designer tries to create an aesthetic where stories can be in simplicity, and the order can be in complexity.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The work is an integration of art and design, with functions of collectibles, decorations, toys, etc. Simplicity and refinement coexist, integrating deconstruction and structuralism styles. The joint structure is boldly exposed, highlighting the strength, texture, and visual gravity of the whole structural volume. Streamlines create momentum and tension. The details draw rich emotions and storytelling. The interpretation and practice of sustainable design emphasize on rethinking design and harmony with the contemporary way of life between Maximalism and Minimalism.
- Inspiration
- The real world is undergoing profound changes, and Metaverse brings central and decentralized games. It revolves around one theme “control”. People pursue simplicity and construct rules. At the same time, development and competition come up to complexity, balance, and opposition. The design head to the theme intuitively and innovatively. Regulation and competition, simplicity and complexity, influence each other, and are mutually transferable. Human society has always pursued a kind of “control” that combines balance and opposition.
- Research
- On the premise of pursuing high quality for design and production, 15 experiments were conducted between the fineness of 0.05 and 0.1 to achieve a balance between precision and the best energy efficiency. This design uses non-uniform thickness hollow-out technology and 3D printing technology. According to different stress positions, the corresponding hollow thickness is emphasized, which significantly improves the qualified rate of finished products, and at the same time, minimizes consumables to achieve the best balance of refinement, weight, and quality.
- Challenge
- The product structure has high requirements for fineness and details. However, increasing the fineness will increase the consumables and damage rate. Therefore, the research challenge is balancing energy efficiency and minimizing consumables and weight without sacrificing quality.
- Realization and Technology
- Featuring the idea of sustainable design, it is entirely digital R&D, a simplified design, hollowing out the internal structure to significantly reduce the material consumption and product weight. The integration is lightweight and durable. Exquisite handy craftsmanship and craftsman spirit empower precise and efficient technology to create a modern art decor with warmth.
- Operation and Interaction
- With a structural beauty from the Physical World, its shape and character reflect immersive reverie and emotional interaction with the Virtual World. The surface texture reflects the uncertainty of future technology and interacts and blends with people and space.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in 2021 and was completed in 2022.
- Specifications
- Product dimensions, W 130mm x D 80mm x H 280mm. Package dimensions, W 240mm x D 140mm x H 360mm.
