Lifestyle Footwear Design for Reebok - Reebok Internship Project Inspired by Formula 1

07-08 Microsoft Next-Gen PC Design competition - Finalist, CLEF_Electronic Music Note Stand - When musicians are playing an instrument and need to turn paper music pages, they have to stop playing music or get some help from an assistant. CLEF can be easily transformed into an electronic music stand simply by pulling a base part out of its side. A flexible LCD touch screen, which is rolled inside, provides a large enough display area for digital music notes. A wireless foot pedal can be detached from the main unit, so all they need to do is press the foot pedal or touch the screen.

TIMO, Tea Table - Unlike most tables used for only one purpose and having just one appearance, this table is customized to function as both a tea table and work desk. The design provides different looks for each purpose. After lifting the 'hidden table tops' twice, the cute tea table is transformed into a convenient desk. The front drawer can store big magazines and newspapers. (Alias Model)

MU:TTORE, CD Player - The demographic for this project are people who prefer using a CD player for better sound quality. Current models, however, have problems with tiny control buttons as well as cliche geometric shapes. The wider and bigger button on the right side enables them to easily manipulate this music player using their palm. The rotating inside CD tray makes the unit's size smaller compared to other models and suggests a new form of CD player. (Actual Model)

D.VOT, Padlock - Current padlocks remind us of something heavy, dull and ugly. The main theme of this project is to revise the current padlock and create a secure aesthetic as well as safe and user friendly lock. Utilizing a pivot style handle, I designed it to have a stronger locking state. Subtle changes made to every surface allows for a sleek style to the overall shape. (Alias Model)

Detroit Music Theater - The main inspiration for this design is the front grill of a 1950' Buick. The automotive shape situated on the ground is aesthetically converted into an outdoor music theater. The large seating area has been designed to allow people to enjoy the atmosphere of the Detroit River environs. On the rear wall of the main stage, two intersecting lines help spectators visualize the music as the main subject with rhythmic movements, as well as playing an important role as a focal point inside.

ETIM, Desk Clock - This desk clock is designed based on product designer Jasper Morrison's philosophy. His work tends to be minimal, simple and elegant. Jasper shows the essence of his style using the least material and parts. This works reflects my incorporation of these design elements. The top surface applies a flexible display and its angle is adjustable. On the bottom are two silver-metallic control buttons. (Alias Model)
