FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
NZ: Blazer draws inspiration from the neckline cut of a blazer, reflecting its design elements. The original concept behind this design was to develop a lighting fixture that users could easily assemble, while suitable for mass production within the manufacturing industry.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
NZ: In this design, my primary focus is simplicity, which extends across its design, production, and usage. In terms of design, I aim to maintain a simplified and modern aesthetic, prioritizing a clean and sharp appearance. In production, minimizing waste is paramount. For usage, ensuring a satisfying and efficient user experience is key.
FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design?
NZ: My next plan is to develop a series of lamps. I intend to design additional light fixtures that share a similar concept but feature distinct appearances.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
NZ: About half year.
FS: What made you design this particular type of work?
NZ: I've always had a keen interest in light fixture design, and felt has consistently been one of my favorite materials. Combining my passion for design in light fixture creation with my love for felt has been an incredibly rewarding experience.
FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
NZ: The name of this design was chosen because of its inspiration.
FS: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?
NZ: AutoCAD proved invaluable as I refined the details of this design.
FS: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?

FS: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?
NZ: Taking the opportunity to showcase my talents to the world could be the catalyst that jumpstarts my career.
