VERSATILE CHAIR
A multifunctional chair that can be used in a study. It can be a ladder, chair or table. The inspiration is primarily Art Deco. It can be decorative too as it has aesthetic qualities. The ladder chair, can be a chair or it can adjust to be a ladder. It is an aid for people to easily access books at height. The stool can be adjusted to be a table, and when not in use it can be put inside the ladder chair in order to save space.
ROCKING ANIMALS
This is a group project which is a collection of rocking animal children's toys: a giraffe, a hippo and a cow. These are not only physical toys, but they also help children build their creativity when they play with them. The wheels can be adjusted so they can be either a rocking or rolling toy. Inside the toy has a place to store decorations for the animals. The bodies all have some magnetic buttons, so children can create faces on the animals and additionally add a collar or a tail to each one. The body cover has a zip which is easy to take off and put in.
Collaborated with Nhung Phan and Phuc Duong.
ROTATIONAL LIGHT
A rotational wall light. The inspiration is from stained glass windows in the form of roses. The light has 5 interconnected colour layers. These can be rotated to create a range of different refracted patterns that can be altered at an time to totally change the effect, from subtle tones to a brilliant kaleidoscope of colour.
RAWL PLUGS FLOWER LIGHT
I am interested in exploring different kinds of materials to make new products. This is a ceiling light that has been made using builders rawl plugs. It looks like 3 shimmering flowers when looked at under light and the reflection of the light into walls creates an abstract mystery of eerie shadows cascading in all directions.
RECYCLED BICYCLE TIRES BACKPACK
I am also keen on using recycled materials. For example, the front panel decoration of this backpack is made from recycled bicycle tires. The backpack also can be a neat shoulder bag. The inspiration for this pattern is from the brocade pattern used by a Vietnamese ethnic minority. Inside the backpack there is a compartment created from tire inner tubes. These act like rubber bands and can hold things such as a power banks, computer mouse, and charging cables.
PHYSICAL REHALIBITATION PRODUCT
Another group project which is a device provides a variety of physical activities for rehabilitation of patients. The design looks like an exercise product to make patients feel more comfortable about using it after suffering from a stroke. The main part of it is like a bicycle the chair can be adjusted for greater comfort. Patients use it to exercise their legs. The back of the chair has a massage function and the seat has a function for patients to exercise their waists.
The product also includes many different modules for patients to choose which one is suitable for them such as equipment for hand exercises. It also has a touch screen to help patients follow their exercise or even for relaxing. The touch screen is optional. The product also has wheels that help it move easily when needed to another part of the place in which it is being used. The wheels also have control buttons to aid stability when patients use the machine.
Collaborated with Roxy Huynh and Man Nguyen.
THIS IS DYSLEXIA BOOKS
A group project for a film focused event called the Flatpack Film Festival 2020. Elements of this are on the human experience of seeing things differently and to maintain the motion picture theme we chose to use adapted 3d film glasses as used in movie industry. Therefore, we created two books to help people have a more sympathetic understanding about people who suffer from learning disabilities such as dyslexia. This is done using two specially constructed books which we hope will help people understand how dyslexic people see and feel.
