About Zero サーキュラーライト・ゼロ
この製品は光と時間、水と可塑性の透明感を纏い、私たちに時間を視覚化し触れることを可能にします。ポインターが毎秒水を跳ね上げ、繰り返される出来事のように小さな波紋を生み出します。時の一巡りの中で、水のあらゆる視点から日常に潜む独自性と美しさを発見することができます。私たちは100%リサイクル可能なガラスを日常生活に取り入れることを望んでいます。ゼロに還り、ゼロから生まれるという言葉のように。

- 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.
Expect to place this product at Spring Pool Glass's cooperative store, such as SIDOLI RADIO and Akau Coffee which have experiential activities regularly. 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
