The Lifestyle Bag

March 12, 2015 by Whitney Bai

Work in Progress… I have a bookmark folder in my browser dedicated to my online identity: google circle, facebook, twitter, linkedin…a dozen of them. I noticed a long time ago that my online communities on these websites are quite distinctive from each other—some represents my professional side as a design student, some for family and close friends, and some for public. Of course they are not completely separated. Where I choose to post certain aspect of my life depend on how […]

Electric Kettle for MUJI 無印良品

October 9, 2014 by Whitney Bai

The goal of this project is to design and make a prototype model of a electric kettle for a existing brand. I chose MUJI because I admire their no branding strategy and simplistic design. I studied some of their products especially some invisibly thoughtful details. Here are some preliminary sketches in order to figure out a direction I want to go next.  Some more thumbnail sketches for a quick brain stretch. I really like the bottom right ones. Here are some […]

Aluminum Form

November 25, 2013 by Whitney Bai

    This aluminum form is made with six hexagonal shapes. Each hexagon has two handles to connect each other so the negative space between two shapes form a hexagon as well. The outer part of the connecting handles are filed into semi-circle and connected by brass rivets at the center so each hexagon can rotate. For a more controlled and smooth movement I add an extra plastic piece in between the rotating parts. I love the fact that this form […]
