Production Technology: Stainless Steel SUS316 is used for making the planter and candleholder set. Beside of traditional metalworking technique as pressing & stamping, CNC metal spinning is used to make the three candlestick holders.
Design Challenge: The creativity is totally beyond the production possibilities. The three candleholders for candlesticks are made by CNC metal spinning that are specifically designed to be assembled into the middlle-plate, so that all the parts can be assembled or used separately.
Research: Exploring various metalworking production techniques and mold design were crucial to the success of the production of this project.
Inspiration: The design idea of UTOPIA comes from the ideal country of Utopia and the Asian philosophy, the Analects of
Confucius Zilu, both of which also represent a kind of spiritualism, harmonious integration and great unity. All the parts can be assembled or used separately and brings out the meaning of Harmony in Diversity. Different
philosophies in the East and the West come from different sources but have similar meanings. Through the
appearance and function of the product, we merge the meanings of the two philosophies and present them in
one design.
Project Duration: The project started in Nov 2022 in Hong Kong and finished in Feb 2023 in China.
Operation Flow: This set can be used as tableware and home decors that are designed to be both aesthetically unique and highly functional.
