air lids

A kitchenware collection focusing on different lid designs in collaboration with Daikin, an air conditioning equipment manufacturer.
Daikin produces fluoroelastomer which is made from the same raw material that makes substances used in its air conditioning systems. Fluoroelastomer is a high- performance rubber which is commonly used in the automotive industry. This material has outstanding heat, oil and acid resistance and excels in preventing changes in color and shape over a long period of time.
This fluoroelastoemer, which is made from the same raw materials that assist in supplying pleasant air to people, has a silkier touch than regular silicone rubber, mimicking the same “airy” quality as if directly touching something materialized from the air itself, which normally cannot be touched. In order to best express the material’s characteristics and properties, a variety of functional kitchenware lids were designed each showcasing different possibilities.

01. Pick-up lid – a lid that can pick up together with seasonings from its container

02. Press lid – a lid for a liquid container that opens like a mouth when pressing down its top

03. Pinch lid – a lid that conceals a small spoon, which only appears when pinching its edge

04. Pull lid – a lid that is stretched from inside the container, closes its mouth with tension

05. Push lid – a lid that extrudes liquid from the container when being pushed in to it

These lid designs aim to symbolize “something” between human and an object, and to convey the abstract feeling of air to be a bit more tangible, which in reality we cannot really “sense”.

与空调设备制造商大金合作，专注于不同盖子设计的厨具系列。

大金生产含氟弹性体，其原料与制造空调系统中使用的物质相同。氟橡胶是一种高性能橡胶，常用于汽车工业。这种材料具有出色的耐热性、耐油性和耐酸性，并且在长期防止颜色和形状变化方面表现出色。

这种含氟弹性体由有助于为人们提供宜人空气的相同原材料制成，具有比普通硅橡胶更丝滑的触感，模拟出与直接接触从空气本身形成的东西相同的“通风”品质，而这通常不能被触动。为了最好地表达材料的特性和特性，设计了各种功能性厨具盖，每一个都展示了不同的可能性。

01. Pick-up lid——可以把容器里的调味料一起拾起的盖子

02. Press lid – 一种液体容器的盖子，当按下它的顶部时，它会像嘴一样张开

03. 捏盖 - 隐藏小勺子的盖子，只有捏住它的边缘时才会出现

04. 拉盖——从容器内部拉出的盖子，用张力合上嘴

05. 推盖——推入容器时会从容器中挤出液体的盖子

这些盖子的设计旨在象征人与物之间的“某种东西”，并将空气的抽象感觉传达得更加有形，而这实际上是我们无法真正“感知”的。
