Theme: Relationship

Intention:
When I start researching on Japan nation and culture, it reminds me come from Asia countries (Hong Kong) although I am not Japanese, Hong Kong people loves to travel in Japan and the styles of this nation. (Some HKers might even say Japan is our “Home Country”).
On the other hand, I felt homesick and let me think of the topic “Relationship” (relationship between people towards people, distance between relationship)
How to enhance relationship?
--> Enhance living quality (related to MUJI’s concept)
--> Find out the way to maintain
--> Recall memories
the feelings can also include to create echoes / the Design can create feelings

Target:
phone holder (wood?)
some daily objects--> pairs (e.g. chopsticks...)
technology products (cuz there are distance)

Pattern Concept:
related to the difference between two places
related to the nation (e.g. iconic plants? Dollar sign?)
related to the style (purpose: make the audience can notice is about or related the nation-->Japan)
related to daily life objects

How it will related to country (nations) and visual identity:
Japan used to apply pattern on kimono, ritual tools, presents, daily objects, etc. as to stand for some meanings and show to social status, power, pose of the society... --> so my project aims to be more related to life and pick some iconic or meaningful objects as the pattern
Japanese always shows politeness, good attitude, respectfully, clean and tidy --> so my project aims to follow their pattern system

How it will related to repetition:
Everything, Everyday, Everywhere can be full of recalling the relationship(things appear or used in daily life can relate or remind you to some specific memories with someone in a relationship)
the repeated thoughts and feelings can be show strongly with the repetition like patterns
