FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
TS: The design inspiration comes from how I felt when I used an ordinary foam to clean my house. When I touched it, I felt softness and warmth. I tried to push it to change its shape, but I never succeeded – it always returned to its original square, like a stubborn child playing game with me. It is that feeling that attracted me, so much that I thought the foam could be a member at home. Therefore, I began to try to accomplish a household product made of foam.
FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
TS: I would like my work could company users through the character of foam. When you feel lonely, you could play with it. It seems be nodding or bowing when the foam cover is pressed. Besides the fun of playing with it, some interest can be found when it is quiet too. The light through the yellow sponge is naturally dim, leaving home in quietness and warmth. Looking into the large or small pores on it and the lights coming out of them is a nice way to spend boring time.
FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?
TS: About 4 monthes.
FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?
TS: Because I hope to establish a deeper intimate relationship between product and users from the angle of sensations and interactive experiences. Apart from the basic functions,product can understand and care the owners with unique missions, which brings happiness and entertainment to them when they feel boring and solitude.
FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?
TS: It is not produced by any company yet. If any company have interests to collaborate, it is welcomed.
FS: Who is the target customer for his design?
TS: People who living in big city and need company.
FS: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?
TS: I think is the material.
FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
TS: The name is come from character of my light. It is made by foam and very soft. Soft is a very unique character which make my light different from other lights. So the name is soft light.
