Infinity Smart Phone

Lu Ni Smart Phone Design Quality Monday, 28 September 2026

Infinity

Infinity is a smartphone with a back cover that creates a repeating light reflection effect. Mirror silver plating is applied to the lower and upper layers of the back cover, and a gap between them lets light reflect many times. A silkscreen pattern allows light to pass through selected areas. The result is a three-dimensional light effect within a slim body measuring 163 by 76 by 7.7 millimetres. The light colour can be changed in the phone settings. Different light effects can be set for message alerts, so notifications are visible without turning on the screen.

The Forum

The Forum is a pavilion designed as a venue for gatherings, public programming and the arts. The structure works as a stage, a screen and a backdrop, so the space can be adapted to different uses. Structure and facade are unified in one language of fluid surfaces made of aerospace grade aluminium. Sixty-six unique panels were shaped by digital sheet forming, without tooling or dies, in under twelve hours. The result is a large, lightweight and modular structure that is quick to produce and can be assembled with basic hand tools.

Spiderweb

The main idea was to create something that brings all the attention to the product, using less elements as possible and creating some connection with the target public at the same time. The web element also refers to the grip of the shoe and his wild nature, bringing a personification to the product. The mood also transmits technology, present on the shoe essence and a pinch of a mystical language that comes with the spider web element that also represents the shoesole grip.

Camel Robot Digital Art

Camel Robot

Camel Robot is a digital artwork that reinterprets a brand logo as a robotic animal. The image was built as a three-dimensional model and rendered at high resolution for printing and for display in exhibition and office spaces. References were drawn from industrial machinery, robotics and science fiction. The body is partly open, so the internal cables and the power supply remain visible. A neutral blue and dark palette keeps attention on the main silhouette. The level of detail is balanced to stay believable and easy to read.
