About Drago Kollektsiooniline mänguasjadraakon

Drago on kollektsiooniline mänguasjadraakon, mis on loodud interjööris eksponeerimiseks. Iga kujuke on 75 millimeetrit kõrge ja tugineb muistsele Hiina draakonile, olendile, kes ühendab endas kala, mao ja kotka tunnuseid. Kollektsioon hõlmab kuut stiili ja kahtteist väljanägemist. Iga ese on digitaalselt modelleeritud ja trükitud valgest PLA-st kihtidena paksusega 0,1 millimeetrit. Pärast trükkimist iga kujuke lihvitakse, pihustatakse pealiskihiga, värvitakse käsitsi akrüülvärvidega ning viimistletakse täiendava läikiva kihiga. Disain pakub täiskasvanud mänguasjasõpradele dekoratiivset lauaehet.

Design Challenge: The key challenge to the product was to create a shape that looks cute and modern.

Research: Nowadays there are not much toys designed for adults. I want to design a series of toy that can be collect by modern toy lovers. Modern toy has become an iconic art platform to bring artistry to the public eye, and a fusion of pop-culture and illustration is expected to inject vitality into the modern toy. So I designed a toy that involved in varies color and pattern, I hope this bold design, can be recognizable and evoked people’s love of pop-culture.
Inspiration: Ancient Chinese dragon is a combination of great deals of animals, including fish, snake and eagle. I got my inspiration from this interesting concept. Through mixing and matching of the characteristics that I discovered in the animal world, I created my own dragon. Each Drago have a story to tell.
