- Design Challenge
- PIY is the flat furniture firm which challenges old traditions. The simplest style enables assembly to be more interesting. We re-define the relationship of furniture and citizens. Our furniture can be used for a long time and can be as durable as classical one. However, it takes some time for people to adopt this transforming of furniture.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2017 in Australia and China and finished in Jul 2017, used in Australian intrenational furniture fair 2017
- Operation Flow
- People can see part of Australian castle on a poster and the explosion illustration of its components, but they cannot see the castle itself. The strong visual stimulation and color arrangement attract more people to be there in person.
- Research
- We have been considering how to convert bore into fun. When designing the poster, in order to deliver the ideology of PIY but not to abandon the mystery, we have tired different kinds of combination and color arrangement and choose the type with greatest visual impact.
- Inspiration
- The Dao is the underlying principle behind the creation of the myriad things. The order of the process giving rise to the myriad things began with the Dao producing a kind of generative force.
As everyone knows that CELL is the meaning of cells. We expect PIY to develop fission like cells, thus building more beautiful space for players around the world.
