There is a lot of strain on people as a result of the quick pace of today's society.
現代社会のスピードが速くなった結果、
人々に多くの負担がかかっている
Why?
When the freedom of expression is constrained, and uniqueness appears to be different from others, they start to have confidence issues.
表現の自由が制限されると、動揺する
他の人と個性の違いが見えた時、気まずさを感じてしまう
So,
We want to develop something that will delight the users when they return home.
It will be a welcoming renovation supporting individuals' freedom of expression and a celebration of difference and uniqueness.
家にかえった時に、喜びを感じてもらえるようなものを作りたい. 快適なリノベーションをデザインし、個人の表現の自由をサポートします。表現する事で自信につながります. 他の人と個性の違いが見えた時、気まずさを感じてしまう
Design Process
To maximize the collaboration between my teammates and me, our team members always create each work back and forth.
We contribute drawings while adapting, transforming, and reworking what the other has completed. After we finish our own parts, we leave a visual message to allow each other to elaborate on the work. And these drawings turned into our inspiration for the project. We also applied this method to the whole design process, including Ideation, fabrication, modeling, etc.

Walkie-talkie:
In our magical imagination, he absorbs skill and knowledge from everything he sees and eats, which resembles learning new things. The message we try to convey is that everyone has knowledge and skill that they gain from own experience, and that gives us power. “Everyone is special and has a unique ability.”
Boon:
The message we try to convey is the value of imperfection. The holes on Boon is the imperfection. Without the holes, light can't come through. With the holes, light shines from inside.
Tobe:
The message we are trying to convey through him is having and working with a flexible mindset. It’s sometimes important to take things easy and do it your way.
Flogey:
The message we try to convey through her hugging gesture is that there is always next time and it’s important to take a break sometimes.
Last but not least...
We created a few drawings/graphic sand made them into postcards.
Hope you enjoy this story.
