Behind The Scene - Workshop Transfer Image on Wood by DGTMB

So, right after the PLKMM Post-Dood competition, we straight away went to DGTMB Shop for a workshop about Image Transfer on Wood ! It's an amazing workshop presented by dagingtumbuh and segi enam. Here's the place (wait for the update !) and the work done. Went for the opening of the exhibition collaboration but have no time to go for the closing ceremony :(

This artwork was done in tribute and monumentalize my first water colour painting :)

Behind The Scene - Handmade Leather Bracelets

Bought 1/2m of  turquoise synthetic leather for fun (bracelets, keychain, purse or anything) to fill my free time any time. So I decided to combine it with the leftovers synthetic leather I bought for engineering drawing (?) Gambar Teknik's assignment, making a leather bag.

1st bracelet for my girl friend - Turquoise set

I made 3 of them for Valentine's Day gift (really?), 1st for my girl friend, 2nd for my boy friend, and the last was for me to keep, its so precious !

2nd bracelet for my boy friend - Hybrid set

The left overs synthetic leather is far away thicker than the turquoise one's, it was hard to pick the needle :' but it's okay, I'm able to make 3 of them hehe :D and the last Sailor Leather Bracelet was a success of all ! Don't you think so ?

last bracelet - Sailor Set

Too bad I can only make this beautiful creature when I have free time and in a mood to do so :/ Pardon me :P I can actually make one for you as request (I used to have an online shop via Instagram for handmade bracelets, temporary closed - sweetkisscollection)

Kunjungan Kampoeng Dolanan (Revitalisasi Desain Mainan Tradisional Indonesia) - Desain Produk 2

Yup! Dengan mengangkat tema yang berkaitan dengan Indonesia, maka artikel ini saya buat menggunakan Bahasa Indonesia (sementara :), ntar kalo nyelo bikin artiker versi in English ! pasti donkk)

Terkait dengan banyaknya mainan tradisional di Indonesia yang kalah jauhnya dengan mainan luar (terutama dari China) baik dari segi penjualan, safety user/keselamatan bermain, ketahanan produk serta pengaruh lingkungan dan perkembangan zaman. Nah melalui mata kuliah Desain Produk 2 ini, kami sedang berusaha untuk membuat mainan tradisional dengan perkembangan metode ATUMICS dan SCAMPER, semacam membuang point negatif dan mempertahankan point positif untuk dikembangkan menjadi sesuatu yang modern (canggih) tanpa meninggalkan ket-tradisional-annya. Dalam kelompok kerja sendiri terdiri dari Karuna Dewi, Claudia Nikita dan saya sendiri Chintia, atau yg sering dipanggil oleh teman desproders, Capriee. Jadi, selama sepanjang semester kami mempelajari yang namanya mainan, dari segi tradisional maupun modern, yang murah sampai yang mahal, yg lawas sampai yg sudah ga produksi, lengkap deh.

12 Februari 2015 - Kami bahkan juga mengadakan kunjungan ke sebuah kampung di mana para nenek dan kakek (sering dipanggil sebagai simbah) berperan penting sebagai pembuat mainan tradisional, lebih jelasnya, produksi mainan tradisional secara manual. Mereka lebih memilih menggunakan material dari alam dan barang bekas, dengan tujuan menghidupkan kembali benda yang sering kita sebut sebagai sampah. Banyak pelajaran penting yang patut diambil melalui kunjungan tersebut, dari gaya hidup sampai ke konsep atau cerita di balik mainan tradisional yang dibuat di sini. Sebagai orang luar pulau, saya tentu merasa bangga, karena ini pertama kalinya saya melihat bahwa Indonesia ternyata memiliki mainan seperti ini.

Pak Pur Menggerakkan Wayang Angkrek

Mekanisme Wayang Angkrek

Wayang Angkrek buatan sendiri :)

Wayang angkrek - salah satu mainan tradisional yang memiliki mekanisme sederhana yang patut dipertahankan. Gerakan mainan tersebut dipengaruhi oleh beberapa titik tarik, pada bagian lengan dan paha yang menggunakan binary link sedangkan bagian badan menggunakan quartenary link yang menghubungkan paha dan lengan sehingga dalam proses pembuatannya dibutuhkan ketelatenan dan kepresisian pada lubang dan bentuk pola angkrek itu sendiri.

Ngeksis dengan Kithiran Buatan Sendiri :3

Kithiran - Sesuai dengan namanya, mainan tersebut berupa kincir berukuran mini dengan 8 sisi baling, Rangka dasar yang berbentuk lingkaran dan susunan 4 buah kincir yang di susun secara atas bawah kiri kanan. Bahan yang digunakan berupa rangka bambu dan kincir kertas yang diwarna menggunakan teres (katanya pewarna makanan) sehingga jika diletakkan di luar (outdoor) ketika hujan, maka mainan tersebut akan rusak. Mainan tersebut memiliki bentuk yang sedemikian rupa karena menyesuaikan kecepatan angin yang melaluinya. Bahkan arah penempelan dan cara pemasangannya haruslah pada poros dan arah baling yang benar agar putaran kithiran menjadi lancar saat dilalui angin.

Kithiran semacam mengingatkan kami pada masa kecil dulu :')

Behind The Scene - The Coffee Artwork Collaboration Exhibition @ Djendelo Kofie

So, before starting off the new semester after a not-so-long holiday, here I am for the exhibition with fellow desproders, thank you for offering the very first exhibition outside campus !

My Coffee Artwork and Me

I'm putting up an artwork I've done quite a long time ago, its about someone special, I'll say its about "coffee"

The Display during Exhibition

detailed view - its made of cardboard and coffee powder

The process of making this artwork was in rush, but I'm pretty proud of it :) I'm putting the coffee artwork stickers in it so any visitors would have a little piece of my artwork. You see sharing is the whole idea here. Ah, the tote bag hanging there was from a design contest during Gelar Desain 2014 "Euphoria"

I didn't won but at least I tried

Thank you for making the whole idea real.

Behind The Scene - Holiday Macrame Time !

So, the not-so-long holiday was well spent on making a few macrame product, I even made a few more for my sister and my boy friend :) I was preparing something amazingly tiny macrame bag which was done during the new year's eve and the macrame snowflakes was a bonus out of curiousity on the Christmas Eve. Did I mention about me, loving to make everything tiny and single (should I say it, alone).

The colour used were yellow and red (well because the available one was yellow, black and red). I chose these as a Chinese New Year themed mini product which I prepared for the collaboration exhibition (and not really). 1st January 2015

The Mini Macrame Bag (after)

The colour used for the snowflakes were blue and white to at least say its the colour of coldness, am I right ? It's snowy during Christmas, so why not. 25th December 2014

Macrame Snowflakes

I actually made a few of a smaller and gothic version of the macrame snowflakes which I made for my sis and my boyfriend too (let's see if I have the documentation :P)

Gothic Version

Caterpillar Puzzle Stool - Product Design 1

After trying to turn line into sheet, we're trying to change a 2D form (sheet) into a 3D form (has volume). It was a challenge to make a stool out of cardboard which is strong enough to hold up to 120kg of weight.

Scale of 1:5 Model - Puzzle

Puzzle Concept

Anyway I did my best after the break up, and here's the (I don't think) brilliant concept of mine about the puzzle continuation between one and another stool. What do you think ?

Scale of 1:2 Model - Material

Final Mock-Up (back)

Final Mock-Up (styling)

After completing the product, its' now ready to be tested on user based on their weight (challenge : the heavier it can holds on, the stronger it is)

W:54kg, H:178cm

W:55kg , H:169cm

W:62kg, H:152cm

W:117kg, H:176cm

After testing on users, I've analyzes the ergonomic of the product, if it is comfortable enough to sit on this stool while working in the studio. According from a few users I've interviewed, there were a few comments about the structure in contact with user was to fragile, should have add more "cushion" to make it more comfortable. The height is perfect to form 90' angle for the knee to rest on the floor according to users. The width is using the anthropometry p95, which is more recommended for user until 120kg.
