#SifuOfTheDay Rebranding Local Bamboo & Papercrafts (individual)

#SIFUOFTHEDAY In corporation with local liondance head maker SIFU ( how we usually call a professional craftman/craftwoman), I rebranded the original shop「雄獅樓」into something more interesting than making lionhead. Instead, BAMBOX changes the initial nature of material in making lionhead, Bamboo and Paper stripes, into a fashionable and modern clutch design for man and female.

Thanks for the skills obtained from the Lionhead SIFU, the forming of a 3-dimentional structures are all done in Bamboo and handcrafted.

Knitted with Tough Paper

The bamboo formed into two stright semi cylinders for storage. The string is knitted of paper stripe I got from the sifu.

Collaborative Sustainable Project

Shangri-La Hotel is a well-known International Luxury Hotel, as well as in Hong Kong. However, there are disposables that are being thrown away every day from the hotel. For instance, glass bottles, bed sheets and wooden wine boxes.

I want to raise awarenesses of the users to stop generating glass bottle wastage and show how useful glasses are.

2014 Sustainable Phone Speakers x Chargers Shangri-La Hotel HK Upcycle Competition

DESIGN CONCEPT Sound of Wineboxes & glassbottles Using the woodcraft and glass cutting technique , DrunkenBox transformed unused material (i.e. glass bottles and wine boxes) from Shangri-La Hotel into acoustic instruments. It enhances its functional value by adding different acoustic performance and creates brand new user experiences.

Wooble, Dubbly and Malaki are the three speakers that designed for three different user scenarios in Shangri-La Hotel. User can plug his/her phone into the device, and while waiting or idling, they can prefer to play music from their own mobile devices in DrunkenBoxes.

Glass Recycling Bin on HK Beach

BeachBin 2014

Public glass bottles recycling bin design Public Furniture (Individual)

Ease for dispose & Collect

The ring form drain is designed for people to drain the glass bottles before disposal.

The tube leads the fluid to go down into the water bavel, which locates at the bottom of the bin

The design of the base stand is to secure the bin firmly into the sand, double layering of the bin reduces the noise of throwing the bottles in.

Various bottles collection (i.e. Cans, plastic bottles) will be further developed based on the original design.

BeachBins.

Drain & Collect Concerning the rate of rubbish disposal on the beaches in Hong kong, there are approximately 5 millions glass bottle collected from the beach everyday. Glass itself requires a long time to decompose but it has high recyclability. For instance, ground bricks and stone tables can be produced with wasted glass bottles.

The glass recycling bins are aimed for both disposal of fluids and glass bottle separately.

It's clean, simple, and easier for the glass bottle collector to change the inner capacity.
