for Daikin

A kitchenware collection focusing on different lid designs in collaboration with Daikin, an air conditioning equipment manufacturer.

与大金(一家空调设备制造商)合作的厨具系列，专注于不同的盖子设计。

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.

大金公司生产的氟弹性体与制造空调系统所用物质的原料相同。氟弹性体是汽车工业中常用的一种高性能橡胶。这种材料具有优异的耐热性、耐油性和耐酸性，在长时间内能够防止颜色和形状的变化。

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.

这种氟橡胶，用同样的原材料为人们提供舒适的空气，比普通的硅橡胶有更柔滑的触感，模仿同样的“空气”质量，就好像直接接触到从空气中产生的东西，通常是不能接触到的。为了最好地表达材料的特性和性能，设计了各种功能性厨具盖子，每个都展示了不同的可能性。

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

01.拾取盖-可以从容器中拾取调味料的盖

02.按下盖子-液体容器的盖子，当按下盖子时，盖子会像嘴一样张开

03.捏住盖子-一个隐藏小勺子的盖子，只有捏住它的边缘时才会出现

04.拉盖子-从容器内部拉伸的盖子，拉紧盖子的嘴

05.推盖-当容器内的液体被推入时，将其挤出的盖子

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”.

这些盖子设计的目的是象征人与物体之间的“某种东西”，并将空气的抽象感觉传达得更加有形，这在现实中是无法真正“感知”的。
