Dipuisano le Wonho Lee

When I saw the dusty fan standing in my room, I wanted to get rid of it. But I had to keep it for the summer, and inspired by it, I decided to design a new type of fan.

Although it is a fan, I wanted it to look like furniture. Also, I'd like to emphasize that it exists even if it doesn't work and just stands.

I will start a new project with this series of design.

It took about half year from ideation to prototyping.

At that time, I was taking a furniture design class, and while my classmates were making furniture like chairs and tables, I wanted to try something different by using my engineering background

This design is my personal project, and I want to keep it personally rather than commercially.

Single person household.

Brise means breeze in French. When the wind comes out, it really feels like a breeze, so I named it that way.

Actually, it was my first experience to produce my design. Problems that need to be improved have been found while using them differently than when simply designing concepts. I realized why I should be a designer who behaves rather than just thinks.

No, thanks.

I have had a dream to make electronic products. I began my college career with that dream. I majored in electronic engineering, learned to design a semiconductor chip and took it for granted that enhancing its performance was for humanity. By the time I graduated, I realized that technological advance gives people convenience, but it does not guarantee happiness. I believed that there is a great responsibility to make something. With that thought, I decided to study design. It has been a year since I started learning design, and I am still pondering how to get technology refined for people and deliver it to them.

I am graduate student now.

For me, design is what it makes right things so right.

I like designing consumer electronics and the furniture.

On a leisurely weekday, I am most inspired when I am watching a movie while eating popcorn in a spacious theater where no one is around.

I think there is something only a designer can do when making something. One of them is an inexplicable but entertaining element. Because I have a background in engineering, I've always tried to logically find answers to certain questions. But design is sometimes not logical.

Many things are still being made in the world, and we live in such a world. We no longer feel uncomfortable because we lack something. The bigger problem is that there are more problems than there are no designs.

I think the area of human touch in the field of design is getting smaller and smaller. Because with the development of AI and generative design, excellent formations, both technically and aesthetically, are being made by computers. So I feel that designers should think about how their roles will change in the future. Should designers all be replaced by computers and we become programmers? I am still looking for answers to this question.

I think that a flexible way of thinking that is sometimes logical and sometimes emotional is most important.

Keyshot9, Rhino6, Fusion360, Photoshop, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, etc..

I like to experiment with open source hardware such as Arduino, or Raspberry Pi because it is faster to feel with my body than I can imagine.

I have always worked myself, so I really want to make a team.
