Studley Park Boathouse Redevelopment - 2003

Wallets - 2003

I was aimed to make three wearable wallets with vanished wood. Each wallet should be able to hold notes, cards and coins.


Ear plug wallet - This wallet can be wore onto a ear, six graduated sizes of ear shape like sections were connected with string, each section has a string tided in the middle for holding money. As its opened, it looks like an extension of a ear.



Crown wallet - Its a wallet for people to show off their money on their heads, as the richer you are the prettier it will be!



Underarm wallet - Tide around chest through the bigger belts and arm with the smaller belts. To open and close the wallet with the movement of your arm, so to avoid money being stolen. The only problem is strange smell from underarm might apply to the money.

The Organic Gallery @ 135 Flindser Lane, Melbourne - 2003


I was given an existing first floor gallery space on Flinders Lane, Melbourne; redesigning the space with the topic of Organic, I had chose the concept of different parts of Tree, such as tree brunch, leaves, shadow, etc.

There was holes of tree shadow shape cut out on the timber floor with light underneath, which decorated the space as well as to direct people to explore the gallery space. People will be asked to take off their shoes and place them onto the shoes shelve next to the entrance, so that they can experience the nature of timber with their foot sensory.

Tree bunch columns were installed at different spots as functional walls, they were coloured in black and red in order to create the contrast to the space. At the back of the gallery, there were two counter tables and toilet; the tables were movable that gives flexibility of usage and space.

There were also tree shape cut out on the ceiling which allow sunlight to come through to the interior space of the gallery.

Cardboard Chair - 2003

This exercise allow me to explore the possibilities of making chairs with cardboard paper, without using any glue, every joinery must be slotted together. After I had made a series of small scale cardboard chairs, I had to choose the most successful one then to "blow" it up to ONE to ONE scale, and be able to sit for at lease 5 seconds.
