IDA 2024 NOW OPEN -- Final Deadline November 30, 2024
The design is inspired by thoughts of my Chinese hometown Shanghai. As a foreign student, the design shows my longing for Shanghai as a drawer style ring. Its style and structure are inspired by the Waibaidu Bridge, a landmark piece of architecture in Shanghai. I design the surface of the ring by extracting the shape characteristics of the bridge. I add a drawer structure in the ring. Drawers are commonly used as places for people to store and collect belongings. I want to express the wish to store my own thoughts in my hometown of Shanghai through the drawer of the ring.
