【Project】Papercutting-2

 
 
Traditional paper-cutting use scissors to cut paper.

Paper-cut is important skill for Chinese woman in the past.

They use them to decorate house when celebrations.

It's a pristine crafts and a life-closing art.




To make a 2D pattern become a 3D product,

I don't want just put patterns on something.

So I want to use the shape of them.


One of my ideas is a table.



Circle table with two parts.

In old China, when the husband leave home,

maybe to serve in the armed forces or to have a business travel,

the wife would take the table apart and become two semicircle tables.

Less people use less place to be at the table.

When the husband back home they combine these two tables,

togetherbecame a full, perfectly circle.

A couple get together so does the table.

It can be a teapoy,or a table, free use of place.


Another idea is toaster molds.

The toasters with molds are not many,

and the changeable molds toasters are even quite a few,

so there was difficulty for researching.
