[Aging Design Project] F.E.EL. -Fragile.Egg.ELegant- How do you feel in 2065?
Product:
F.E.EL. -Fragile.Egg.ELegant-
(The Cup made of Eggshell)
Concept:
This cup is inspired from the story in 2065 and my grand
mother who has a bad body condition.
I would like to make a product people use both hand,
taking care of the product and enjoy the slow elegant
time. The material is chosen Eggshell because everyone
knows it is fragile and people taking care of it naturally.
moreover, the natural eggshell will become a rare material
in the future. Because a lot of things usually are made
artificial and it is difficult to see the natural material.
It can use not only elderly people but also young people. It
is for all generation who have busy life and they can share
the moment of elegant slow time. The slow elegant time
meaning is connected to our life and to know that we
need to enjoy the time and embrace it while we are
getting older and don't rush the things.Story in 2065:
Yukiko is 79 years old female. The big city is crowded and
moving more faster and busier than now because of
improved technologies. There are two ways of getting
older (natural way and using medicine to look younger).
She chooses natural way to getting old. But she cannot
accept one thing like she cannot move fast.
One day, her friend suggest to go to tea ceremony lesson.
It is one of the Japanese traditional event. They go
together and take the lesson about tea ceremony. And
then she was surprised for one rule about tea ceremony.
At the tea ceremony you must have an elegant behavior.
That behavior is the slow motion movement and also
taking care of the item. The word slow motion becomes
positive on her mind.
After taking the lesson Yukiko and her friend enjoy to
have an elegant slow motion in they're life.
