Il-karatteristika tiegħu hija n-nisġa li tiċċirkola ta 'ripples ta' l-ilma. Ma jimpurtax ġewwa jew barra, speċjalment fejn hemm dawl, ir-ripples ta 'l-ilma tiegħu se juru dawl naturali u dell permezz ta' l-art. Huwa & # 039; s bħal skultura tmewwiġ b'konċepiment artistiku meta tkun mistrieħa; madankollu, issir biċċa għamara affaxxinanti meta sseħħ interazzjoni.

Inspiration: Inspired by Ripples. It presents the image of the condensed state of ripples flowing up and down, just like the frozen water surface, bringing users an interesting and novel atmosphere. As a result of the designer's passion for research and development of new techniques, this work is not only made of fully transparent materials, but the appearance itself has a safe structure and interactive functions. This is a sculpture and a A chair that can interact with people makes users feel like sitting on water ripples, and can swing freely with their mood, adding to the fun of life.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2022 and finished with installation in Taichung,Taiwan in February 2023
Operation Flow: To make a chair requires 56 kilograms of material to meet the structural safety requirements of being solid and having an average thickness of four centimeters.

Because the material is transparent, the biggest challenge is how to keep it intact during the molding process without any cracks, because any small flaws will affect the safety and beauty of the overall structure.
