There’s a confliction within the irrelevance in the functionality, if irrelevant pursues to create an underling truth of an object, surely significance is created?!

Flowers and fruits


In the days and weeks leading up to the start of the New Year, homes are cleaned from top to bottom and no corner or crevice is left un-swept. The rooms are then decorated with vases of flowers and live plants.
Fresh and candied fruits are also laid out in the home. All of these play a part in the celebration and all have a special meaning and tradition behind them. Live, blooming flowers symbolize the rebirth that will take place with the coming spring and fruit blossoms symbolize the start of the cycle that will result in a new crop of fruit later in the year. Fruits and flowers in the home are believed to bring good luck and good fortune to the home in the coming year.
Oranges and tangerines are very popular as, among other things, they symbolize abundant happiness. When visiting family or friends during the New Year's season it is customary to bring a gift of a bag of oranges and tangerines.



There is now an opportunity to create ‘ghost products’ or create a play on ‘positive negative space’ though flowers and fruits in relation to a table. These are possessions of which one would use to explore the ‘re-birth’ of an individual for the New Year by means of good luck and fortune.

How do we read objects?
My perspective of an object through character observation is much diverse than someone else’s perception. Therefore to communicate a relationship with a person in another culture (society or country) in the course of creating a sympathetic relationship to an object, a connection must be made, to create a similarity or an understanding of which can be meet to express a lifestyle or a global culture?

A Global Culture would be the connection of humans in regard to reading objects.

Creating Positive Negative Space




















The field of which I am now designing a product towards is ‘creating positive negative space’. In the world of china it can be easily said with the amount of people are occupying a vast quantity of land, that storage of ‘things’ can become an issue. ‘Creating positive negative space’ represents an opportunity to generate space where one would not initially use in there every day use if ‘things’ or storage techniques. By utilising space well, an opportunity opens to (a) have more freedom in the there own home with less clutter or (b) have more stuff! This will purely be up to the customer’s decision of their way of living. So why don’t people clean up there storage problems? Is it because they don’t have any place for there things to go or they don’t have the time to carry out the task to pursue these adventures in there busy schedule or is it purely laziness?

Negative space represents an empty space, space around an object or form; also called the white space. To identify useful white space potential you must understand the pure basics of what an object does or performs in its task to create a relationship to its host or creating transcendence.

The picture above shows a large quantity of white space below the table. This is the space which is not utilised other than your legs and the seat (if pushed under the table while not in use), whereas the top of the table would be used to hold and in most cases to ‘store things’. The table itself does not use up a considerable amount of room in volume, therefore allowing an opportunity to create positive use of this liberty.
