Design Rumour featuring great design, architecture, fashion, graphics and innovation from across the globe.
The Node project redefines the traditional transformer substation as a seamlessly integrated urban infrastructure element, combining functionality with refined aesthetics. Designed for both park and city settings, the structure remains fully enclosed with no visible openings, prioritizing electrical safety and security. As dusk falls, soft, warm interior lighting enhances its presence, turning the substation into a visually captivating urban landmark.
Continue readingCrystal is a sculptural home decor object that interacts with light to create evolving visual experiences throughout the day. Engineered through precision folding and advanced glass molding techniques, its multifaceted form refracts and reflects ambient light, casting intricate patterns onto surrounding surfaces. The design invites a moment of stillness and introspection, offering users a calming sensory experience as the light shifts.
Continue readingIn the daytime, Unream is an artifact that reflects sunlight to display dynamically; at night, it uses artificial lights to create a fantasy-like atmosphere. With Unream, the designers hope to blur the line between the digital and physical world, bringing impossible materials to real-world product design. Unream is the first 3D printed object that displays dynamically by itself. With multi-material voxel printing, the designers expand binary material presence to dynamic material experience, reimagining the relationship between human, space, and objects.
Continue readingSuper Ego, an art project that satirises consumer culture and the impact of social media on people. The project aims to criticise the artificial feeding of people's egos through likes and followers on social media platforms such as Instagram. It wanted to create a metaphorical representation of society's new superheroes, whose lives revolve around getting more likes and followers. The project focuses on Instagram, where every image posted online is displayed as a showcase to capture the attention of users.
Continue readingSun and moon rotation light change technology, daytime photochromic met with UV light to show the blue violet effect, the night in the dark environment to show the blue green luminous effect. On the basis of zero power consumption, three color switching effects are realized, providing users with a human computer interaction experience beyond expectations and increasing the fun and memory points of the phone for users.
Continue readingThe industry's first use of this infinitely reflective photoelectric technology with artistic characteristics. When the light is turned on not only the color has changed but also can see the 3D three-dimensional light effect so the phone has science fiction properties. It is also interactive, making it possible for users to see text message alerts without opening the screen. The use of this technology allows the originally slim phone to present a 3D visual experience of light.
