Designed in China - Earthquake emergency door handle

Earthquakes continue to devastate communities worldwide. Emergency products can be very helpful to victims to protect themselves when disaster strikes and speed up the reconstruction after a catastrophe. The recent earthquake in the Chinese city of Ya’an inspired design research into disaster relief. Two innovative concepts are proposed to assist future eathquake victims. The application of innovations in high tech textiles and wifi inspired an emergency curtain. The NAVIGADOOR uses pre warning seismic capability and developments in GPS and 4G networks to assist and lead victims to safety. Designed in China.

Designed in China - Robocart

In a rapid developing society, productivity is the key. Currently building sites in China have a lot of manual labour. Occupational safety hazards and improvements in lifestyle will reduce numbers of willing building workers. Demand for new housing will increase so building site efficiency is essential.

To make deliveries and transportation on site more efficient an innovative autonomous robotic machine is proposed. Design research provided insights into current building methods in China and the design utilises recent developments in technology. The ROBOCART can work in all on site conditions and move on steep inclines to transport and deliver materials. Designed in China

Designed in China - Sling Bike

In modern China, people are living with stress, pressure and they rarely smile. Mobile devices have games and apps but this does not promote exercise and a healthy lifestyle. Design research explored traditional Chinese toys and games but final inspiration was from contemporary digital games like angry birds. The project proposes a toy that will make people happy and engage young adults from 18 to 25 years old. The SLINGBIKE concept is an oversized slingshot on a four wheel electric bike. Water balloons, plush toys and snowballs are the ammunition. Young adults work out and build muscle mass like in a gym. Most of all they have fun! Designed in China

Designed in China - Chinese Water Tree

Water is the source of our life. Everyday we should drink more than four litres of water. In China hot water is used everyday for making tea. In a fast-paced modern society the delivery of hot water can

be made more convenient for the individual. Opportunities for the design of an innovative hot water dispenser we identified though design research methods. The concept is called BILLY WATER which is a system that can dispense different temperatures of water efficiently. The system has facial recognition so is personalised to the individual and has safety as a priority. Design elements are drawn from traditional Chinese themes. Designed in China
