Zen
The meaning of Zen is to bring great wisdom from meditation and to prove that everything is as real as the reality.
Zen is a kind of Buddhist thought. It believes that problems can be solved by the original realization and the insight of Zen is more operative than any knowledge and logic. This theory believes that Zen will not be restricted by any knowledge, logic, or social conventions. Furthermore, it comes from selfhood, so it is the best way to solve one’s own problems.
However, Zen can be interpreted as the easiest and also the most efficient method to solve problems.
The features of Zen were the sources of this project. The products in this project include a hanger, a pair of slippers, a bookshelf, and a chair.
Walk On the Leaves
Design concept:
The non-processed concept is applied here because "Zen is close to natural”. The leaf represents something natural and non-processed. Tear both sides of the leaf and pin them to the top side, the shape of a slipper will then appear. Let us make a pair for ourselves and walk on the natural world.
Muse
Design concept:
The product expresses the idea that people sometimes need to think quietly. Everyone needs a private space to relax his brain and think about his life and goals on his own.
Sit by Side
Design concept:
The stool can stand only when it leans against a wall. Without any support from others, it will not be stable. Isn’t it the same as human's life? We all coexist with the environment as well.
Books Stand
Design concept:
The book stand is huge, but only a small number of books can be put in. Choose the books wisely. The stand is simple but full of wisdom.
Drop Them
Design concept:
Books can be put in the gaps or hung on the poles. The poles can be excellent bookmarks for you to start reading next time. Please feel free to do everything you want. It's Zen.
