Short Trip to Siung Beach (+ Ideas)

View of Siung Beach from one peak on top of the hill

After I finally hand up my Applied English assignment on 23rd of October, we finally decided to go to the beach for real ! It's too sudden and unexpected that we went off at around 14 : 30 and reached there almost sunset :)

Someday in another part of the world :) Amin

While walking along the shore, its my habit to lookout for sea shells. Some broken sea shell I took to make it into accessories; ideas :)

Design Process and the Making of Lobboo ( Lobster + Bamboo ) - Product Design 3 & Applied English Language

Lobboo (Lobster + Bamboo) full perspective

Lobboo (Lobster + Bamboo) was our assignment this semester. The materials used in this product come from Cebongan. To begin with, we picked small waste bamboo cut from our bamboo chair workshop. At the same time, we have to imagine some alternative animals which have the similar hollow form with bamboo. After that, we have to make some possible sketches and at the same time figure out the technique we are going to use. Next, we have to choose one of the most qualified out of these alternative sketches.

.

 

          The lobster sketch is chosen because of its’ body characteristic which is long and divided into segments also its typical claws. Beforehand, we have to prepare  other supporting materials like match stick, tooth picks, iron wire, copper wire, supplies like wood glue, G-glue, rough and smooth sanding paper also important tools like hand drill, hand saw, pangot, pliers, cutter and scissor.

          Firstly, we have to draw the shapes we are going to cut on the bamboo piece. The drawing on bamboo component consists of head (4 pieces), body (10 pieces), tails (5 pieces), claws (8 pieces) and legs (16 pieces) of the lobster. After the drawing is done, cut the bigger bamboo piece vertically with pangot and horizontally with hand saw. We also used sanding paper to make the dynamic shape. At the same time, the legs of the lobster are done using bamboo chopsticks that have been cut.

          The bamboo component on each part is now ready to be connected and at the same time we have to prepare 1.5 mm hand drill, iron wire, copper wire, toothpicks, wood glue and G-glue. Firstly, we have to mark above and below of each components. Then, drill each mark on both sides with around 5mm depth. Secondly, apply a thin layer of wood glue on each connecting part then put iron wire or copper wire roughly to fit on both sides of the hole. After the components have stick together, apply a drop of G-glue to strengthen the durability of the connection. This method of jointing is applied from head to tails, while the jointing of the legs are using a tooth picks instead of iron or copper wire because it has the same color with bamboo and can be sanded.

Tail detail

The hinge mechanism on the claw itself is made of a hollow bamboo which has been cut with an oblique and vertically so that it has a thinner form. Next, drill on both outer part of the bamboo for iron wire to pass through and act as the hinge mechanism of the claw.

 As a conclusion, we named this bamboo product as ‘Lobboo’ (Lobster + Bamboo). It is a fun and playful home decoration with its strong bamboo characteristic. It is a reformation of wulung bamboo material with different diameters. Inspired from a sea creature lobster, we mimicked its’ body characteristic which is long and divided into segments also its typical claws. With form following material method, we make used of its’ hollow form and simplified its’ shape according to the material. Besides up-cycling the waste material, we also feature on its environmental friendly design.  With the touch of hand and love we promised you a high quality of fine finishing of our product.

Decoration for Product Design Faculty Accreditation

This is my first time to put my own concept into something real ! The decoration was done with the helpful hands of our fellow desproders. This was used as an exhibition to welcome our accreditation team that came all the way from Jakarta. Here's the documentations of the decoration done on that day :

Mengenal ADPII

Sosialisasi ADPII 2015 di Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana (Dokumentasi oleh Marcellino)

(UKDW, 15 Juni 2015) Aliansi Desain Produk Industri Indonesia (ADPII) adalah bentuk revitalisasi dari Asosiasi Desain Produk Indonesia mengadakan sosialisasi di Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana yang dihadiri oleh desainer professional, dosen dari Universitas Kristen Duta Wacana, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Institut Seni Indonesia, Universitas Sanata Dharma, perwakilan pengurus AMKRI di Yogyakarta serta rekan-rekan mahasiswa yang berkecimbung dalam dunia desain produk. Singgih Kartono juga turut hadir pada kegiatan ini. Mengapa Desain Produk Industri ? Program Studi Desain Produk lebih dikenal sebagai Industrial Design secara internasional. Penerjemahan tersebut kemudian diarahkan menjadi Produk Industri karena yang dirancang bukanlah industri, melainkan produk.

Dalam sosialisasi ADPII 2015 juga dibuka pendaftaran keanggotaan bagi desainer professional maupun mahasiswa desain yang ada di Indonesia, khususnya di Kota Yogyakarta. Pada acara tersebut, untuk pertama kali pihak ADPII menyerahkan kartu anggota di Yogyakarta kepada beberapa desainer yang secara sah sudah menjadi anggota ADPII.

 

Ketua Umum ADPII menyerahkan kartu keanggotaan ADPII untuk pertama kalinya kepada ketua panitia sosialisasi ADPII Yogyakarta (Dokumentasi oleh Dommy)

Setelah bergabung menjadi anggota, manfaat yang akan diperoleh berupa networking antar desainer Indonesia, sertifikat pengakuan, updating improvement yang menguntungkan bagi setiap desainer professional dan desainer muda untuk saling berbagi pengalaman. Selain itu, adanya asosiasi profesi desainer produk industri ini juga berperan untuk melindungi para desainer Indonesia melalui design policy. Menurut Ketua Umum ADPII, Dr. Adhi Nugraha, M.A., sasaran keanggotaan dari ADPII sendiri bersifat terbuka dimana anggota yang mendaftar tidak harus berasal dari lulusan program studi desain produk, melainkan orang-orang yang memiliki portofolio dan terbukti mampu menciptakan produk yang diakui oleh masyarakat.

Nilai craftsmanship di Yogyakarta ini diangkat sebagai sebuah aset terbangunnya Program Studi Desain Produk UKDW. Menurut ketua panitia sosialisasi ADPII Yogyakarta, Kristian Oentoro, S.Ds., M.Ds., nilai ini mampu menunjukkan ciri khas produk yang secara manufaktur masih melibatkan sentuhan tangan manusia. Kata kerajinan itu sendiri dapat dikategorikan sebagai “slow design” dimana produk dibuat secara lokalitas dan handmade dengan penuh rasa sukacita baik dari proses desain sampai ke perwujudan produk sehingga produk dapat dinilai dari filisofi proses pembuatannya itu sendiri. 

Banyaknya produk yang mengarah ke mass industrial design sekarang ini justru memberi peluang bagi para desainer produk di Indonesia untuk menunjukkan potensi lokal melalui keterampilan desain yang memberdayakan sumber daya alam dan sumber daya manusia. Adanya wadah asosiasi tersebut diharapkan juga berpotensi untuk mengembangkan ekonomi kreatif. Di sinilah kita sebagai desainer harus mengambil bagian dalam upaya mengembangkan industri Indonesia, seperti kata Mahatma Gandhi, “Be the change you want to see in this world” . (Chintia)

Ready, Set, Cat ! - Material Technology

Sengon, a type of light and bright coloured wood is used as the main and only material for this assignment. The challenge is we have to transform an estimation of 8x5x5cm Sengon wood into animals shape, any animals you'd like.

I choose a cat, well you see, I really loveeee cat :3 I picked a cute position of cat which looks like its ready for a race. Kind of a weird concept, but I like it !
