Bifröst is the rainbow bridge reaching between Midgard (Earth) and Asgard (the realm of the gods) in Norse mythology, is also a metaphor in this project for the bed as a bridge between our dreams and reality and reflects the color of the slatted frame. Bifröst is two beds that can be stacked up and down, and combined into 2 single beds or a double bed, depending on the requirements, to match the interpersonal distance between the owner and the different visitors.

Daily objects from traditional cultures are taken as inspiration. The aesthetic features of the tatami mat are translated into a modern slatted frame.

Terroir, originally in the perfume industry meaning the environmental factors that affect aroma of crops used for perfumery, is the name of a set of clay-look scent diffusers with different volumes, each holding 3 scents and equipped with a fan to spread scent throughout the room. It is so designed that scents can be switched quickly to suit different scenarios in the home. Its aesthetic features and size allow it to be placed on most surfaces in the home, such as desk and shelf.

In this project the concept “terroir” is derived and expanded from its meaning in the perfume industry to all factors that have an impact on the perception of aroma, as for instance the appearance of the diffusor and the monopoly of scent, which have a decisive influence on material and appearance of the diffusor and how fragrance oil would be refilled.

Therefore users can refill the bottles in the pot with any kind of scent oil available in the markets. The lid and pot are connected by magnets to ensure a certain airtightness. People can releasing one specific scent simply by rotating the lid to the markers. Meanwhile the magnets act as a on/off switch in the circuit. So the fan stops working once it is rotated between the markers or the lid is removed.

Cleaning tools are neglected tools of life, especially brooms, which are undervalued in all areas, from their function to their material and cultural value. However, it is possible to draw inspiration from traditional craftsmanship to give the tool a certain aesthetic value (in the case of the broom) or give it a certain value (in the case of the dustpan), while simplifying the production process and improving quality. The bristles of this broom can be replaced.

Pop Up Gym aimed to create a temporary and low-cost sport space on the campus for students to exercise, relax, and socialize. And its life cycle is extended during the progress. Some of the athletic facilities have been preserved permanently and benefit not only the students but also the neighborhood.

Cutlery is based on culture and eating habits, thus creating a specific dining etiquette. However, people who lack this background often experience embarrassment when serving meals. The goal of this project is to reduce this embarrassment by developing a set of cutlery from everyday tools and as far as possible out of cultural context.
