Works: FlashLight Flashlight

Traditional flashlights are rarely used, so many families do not have flashlights, or the flashlights purchased are used too frequently, and when they need to be used, the battery is always dead.

However, sudden power outages at home, occasional camping trips, frequent power outages in remote towns, and natural disasters such as common earthquakes and occasional fires in some areas have created the necessity of flashlights as emergency lighting equipment.

At the same time, the design of traditional flashlights is biased towards professional lighting, such as escape | emergency | search and rescue | patrol | and other scenes. The scope of use and crowd are narrow, which does not fully reflect the real use of flashlights as a movable and portable lighting product.

▲ GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2018, Red Star Award

This FlashLight | NightLight turns the flashlight into a bulb, which is matched with different brackets and turns into different lighting lamps such as night light, bedside clip lamp, desk lamp, floor lamp, etc. Turn it from a tool that is not often used into an indispensable household lighting fixture in people's lives. Really realize the environmental protection design concept of making the best use of one thing.

At the same time, due to its design characteristics of working while charging, users suddenly go out camping to avoid the trouble of not having lighting equipment. In addition, when natural disasters such as power failure, fire and earthquake occur in the home, people quickly turn it into emergency/escape lighting equipment.

In addition, due to its unique interactive design, when it is used as a desk lamp and floor lamp, it can directly control the on or off of the flashlight through the on or off of the USB data cable.

In addition to being used as a floor lamp at ordinary times, due to its conventional power storage design idea, when natural disasters such as fires and earthquakes come, a family of three can find the necessary lighting tools for quick escape in distress.

Works: Innovative Appearance Design of Lightweight Air Purifier


Use rational thinking to output perceptual design.

At the invitation of Puxiang to share his works, I felt uneasy. However, although I know that I still lack a lot of land, I still have a little merit. If you have time, you may as well look down and listen to my cheek.

This product is a conceptual design made when it is relatively free. When it is inspired, it is made in one go. The word "innovation" is actually a little guilty in the title.

I think that for product designers, simple appearance design cannot be called innovative design, and "innovation" is higher than "design. The innovative design of appearance must have created new ways and means to make users interact with products, which was not available for similar products before.

Through a series of research, I found that there are no more than three kinds of visual interaction between purifiers on the market for air quality conditions, and the display effects of these methods (especially for a little distance) cannot be intuitive and relatively accurate at the same time.

Therefore, this product has made a small innovation in visual interaction. The creative inspiration comes from UI design in mobile APP. The ring dynamic diagrams in many performance optimization, garbage cleaning and software security-related apps can not only intuitively and accurately show the quality of the state, but also dynamically show the process of optimization and cleaning.

Although the air purifier and this kind of mobile phone APP are hardware products and software products respectively, their core concepts are the same. Whether it is air or mobile phone performance, it is also a dynamic process of cleaning and optimization.

So I grafted this visual effect directly. The ring-shaped light is used in the purifier, so that users can feel the purification process of the purifier, and realize the change of air quality visually and psychologically, which is more intuitive and more quantitative and accurate than the way of light color change.

Lightweight small household appliances plus this small creative point are suitable for people who may be more fashionable and younger, so the target group will aim at younger users with low consumption for the time being, and their room style is more simple and simple.

For such a small household electrical appliance product, the appearance style should serve the style of the living space, and the treatment of ID and CMF is to better integrate the product with the home environment.

Combined with the current trend of mutual tendency between home appliances and home product design, after the style of room space is set, the design style of product appearance is also determined.

The ring light is embedded on the metal panel around the air outlet. With the dynamic change of air quality, the accuracy is 1%
Users can more truly experience the purification process of the purifier and feel the improved effect of the air visually and psychologically.

▲ Simple upper panel and keys provide space for storage, so that products can be perfectly integrated with the home environment.

▲ In the quiet afternoon, in the soft sun, the small machine is more like an ornament, and it will not appear abrupt when placed by the wall.

▲ Details of keys at the top. They are power switch, sleep mode, air volume selection, timing selection, and light switch.

▲ Side long strip air inlet & detachable rear shell with filter screen replacement

▲ The simple choice of color matching is black and white light water blue. The background of the renderings echoes the color of the product.

Works: Lazy People Turn off Lights Artifact

Have you ever resisted getting up and turning off the lights before going to bed at night?
Do you have a tradition of "the last person to go to bed turns off the lights" in your dormitory?
Have you ever knocked down a chair or garbage basket when you move towards the bed in the dark late at night?

Perhaps you have considered replacing a switch that can be remotely controlled, and finally dismissed this idea because you don't know the circuit, are poor, and aunt Suguan doesn't allow it.

▲ Use the display motion chart

This lazy light-off device is mainly for the dormitory environment, rental housing, and ordinary families without double control at the bedside. The design principle is very simple, inspired by the "vault" toy I played when I was a child. The first functional hand board I made was also assembled from the parts removed from the "vault.

▲ "vault" toy

▲ Assembly

When designing the appearance, I suddenly remembered a video on the Internet. A great god attracted the cat at home through the laser red dot on the wall with the laser pointer. He aimed the laser pointer at the light off position of the switch. The cat jumped up and turned off the light at once. Then why not design the shape into the form of Xiao Mao jumping forward? In this way, no matter how the switch direction is set, the light switch will not look very inconsistent.
