This is a combination of lamps and time. The number symbol 6 is taken as part of the product structure gestalt. The number 6 provides the coordinates for time reading for the blank bell body, and also becomes the pull ring of the cable switch in the lamps. When the user pulls the switch, the 12 lamp beads in the lamp body emit light. Since the lamp beads are close to the lampshade, the light emission will faint 12 points on the lampshade, which will become the dial of the clock and provide instructions for people to read the time. meaning.

I like telling stories very much, and I also like writing texts for others to interpret. It doesn't matter whether I read it or not. It pleases others more than myself.
Today, I shared a plan that I got unexpectedly in the graduation design series. At the same time, it also became a thorn point that was caught by the defense teacher (because it deviated from the research direction of the thesis), but I liked it very much, so I put it first. In the words of my mentor: at least if you design for yourself now, you should also keep your spirit, now or in the future.

In serialization, other products are deduced. The deliberation of this scheme is a very unexpected process. This is an integrated design of clock and lamp. My original intention is to form a cable switch by cutting part into the thorn point of the product. However, during the design, I found that in addition to the gestalt on the shape, we also have experience gestalt on the intangible cognitive level. Therefore, I removed the number symbol on the clock plate and took the number symbol 6 as part of the product structure gestalt. The number 6 provides the coordinates for time reading for the blank clock body, which has indicative significance. At the same time, it also becomes the pull ring of the cable switch in the lamp body in our cognition.
However, when making the model, due to the fact that the lamp beads are close to the lamp shell and the light divergence is not sufficient during the making process, a slightly brighter light spot will be formed on the lampshade. On second thought, can the light spot be used to make the product cloze when in use and have accurate indicating significance? So I redesigned 12 lamp beads on the lamp body. When the user pulls the switch, the light emission will faint 12 points on the lampshade, which will become the dial of the clock and provide indication for people to read the time.

As I said several times ago, there is no boundary between products and works of art. Works of art are often mainly spiritual resonance, and this resonance can be repeated. I personally think that the product will eventually return to the function. The product that is separated from the function is more of an art device, and the expression can bring more touch to the product, but most of the time this kind of touch is one-off, and it will be used to it when it is known for the second time.

I am very grateful for the freedom given by my tutor. I asked her my doubts yesterday. I always like to explain things in life, and many things have already been explained. The similarity of objects always brings the former text, and this former text is often controversial.
She said: I might have told you before that similarity is like or not, and design is explaining. Now I want to say that things are not black or white, there may be gray or color, we need to interpret, then the design is not only in the explanation, I hope you dare to express, rather than explain... I don't want to listen to your explanation, you say it is useless, you don't understand it is useless to explain... just express your ideas! Sometimes expression is purer than explanation!!!

I asked her: What about you?
She said: I hope you can do it.

Free design is really difficult, it is really difficult to express yourself.
But I like this sentence very much: sometimes expression is purer than explanation.
