I therefore started to think of things we normally do in paper, as my approach is that anything that can be done in paper can also be made in lasercut metal. So my first project ended up being a collection of wall clocks, inspired by the paper snowflakes that we used to make when we were kids. They come in 4 different colors and models, and are all for sale. Just send me an e-mail for more info, or visit Almia Heminredning in Härnösand.

I chose to make the products for the European market since these materials are much more suitable for the European and northern climate because they don't stand that much humidity. The result is a collection of small furniture pieces and home products in sea grass and rattan including lamps, storage baskets and a foldable tray table in rattan and some different carpets made from woven sea grass. I wanted to work with traditional techniques and products, but to create interesting shapes and features. I wanted the products to be both functional, and beautiful to look at, so for the lamps for example I was aiming for them to look good both in daylight and in the dark, which meant I could work both with the joinery and to play with the shadows it would create when lit. For the table instead I've worked with creating structure, and by making a tray table with a handle I could really emphasize the lightness of the material, by not only making a light product, but also make it easy to move around. The products will hopefully work as an inspiration for the manufacturers, showing them that it is possible to create products that are adapted to other markets, and also be an eye opener for the rest of the world, showing the possibilities of production in Vietnam, and showing the beauty of these raw materials. <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646798/weaving.jpg" width="670" height="1006" width_o="2048" height_o="3077" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646798/weaving_o.jpg" data-mid="19331229" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646798/working.jpg" width="670" height="1006" width_o="2048" height_o="3077" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646798/working_o.jpg" data-mid="19331235" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646798/seagrassprep.jpg" width="670" height="1006" width_o="2048" height_o="3077" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646798/seagrassprep_o.jpg" data-mid="19331190" border="0" align="left"/> Process pictures The whole project documentation can be found here Tekné Vietnam is my master project in industrial design at Lund University, Sweden.

As it is a company working with international clients we thought it was important to include some element that is typical for Vietnam, and that is why I included the vietnamese hat in the design. I also find it really simple and it work very well graphically. <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/businesscards_vndesignjsc.jpg" width="670" height="453" width_o="2048" height_o="1387" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/businesscards_vndesignjsc_o.jpg" data-mid="25289024" border="0" align="left"/> I really do enjoy relaxing with drawing sometimes, and these are some of the christmas cards i drew for christmas 2011. <img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul1.jpg" width="670" height="452" width_o="1738" height_o="1173" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul1_o.jpg" data-mid="13396527" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul2.jpg" width="670" height="451" width_o="1744" height_o="1175" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul2_o.jpg" data-mid="13396529" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul3.jpg" width="670" height="449" width_o="1744" height_o="1170" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul3_o.jpg" data-mid="13396533" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul4.jpg" width="670" height="1004" width_o="1160" height_o="1739" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul4_o.jpg" data-mid="13396537" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul5.jpg" width="670" height="449" width_o="1736" height_o="1165" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul5_o.jpg" data-mid="13396539" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul6.jpg" width="670" height="1000" width_o="1168" height_o="1744" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul6_o.jpg" data-mid="13396540" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul8.jpg" width="670" height="671" width_o="1872" height_o="1875" src_o="http://payload17.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2646630/jul8_o.jpg" data-mid="13396543" border="0" align="left"/> During the fall of 2012 I was working a lot with art again, and started to get back into watercolor and used that to create both post cards and textile prints,... http://www.johannawestin.com/Social-Space-a-NASA-project http://www.johannawestin.com/following/johannawestin.com/Social-Space-a-NASA-project Sun, 18 Dec 2011 06:27:11 +0000 Johanna Westin - Industrial design 2475045 In a collaboration with NASA we started out this project by looking at the different ways the astronauts are interacting with each other on the space ship. Many of the men and women had a great interest in space exploration already as children, the long journey of becoming an astronaut started with a fascination during those early years. <img src="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/p vit.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/p vit_o.jpg" data-mid="12476641" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/4.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/4_o.jpg" data-mid="12476606" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/slut.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/slut_o.jpg" data-mid="12476614" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/spelplan.jpg" width="670" height="470" width_o="2048" height_o="1438" src_o="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/spelplan_o.jpg" data-mid="25383871" border="0" align="left"/>{image1}<img src="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/evaluation1.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" src_o="http://payload8.cargocollective.com/1/3/120558/2475045/evaluation1_o.jpg" data-mid="12476634" border="0" align="left"/> We decided to create a game that can be used as an educational school for children and school classes between the ages 8 and 12 years, mainly because it is during these years in school that Swedish children are supposed to learn about space, and also because they can normally read at that age, and can play the game on their own, or with supervision. The final result is a space game where the main structure is to follow a path that takes the player from earth to Mars and back, through answering different questions about space and life as an astronaut. A big part of the project was working with the graphic design, we wanted to make it different from many of the other space games, that often are "star wars" inspired. When it came to color choices we wanted to make it interesting for the children to use, and at the same time it should be easy for them to separate the different colors, and to easily understand the meaning of them.
