DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Limpid Stream

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The designed glassware is in the motif of Limpid Stream. It has a beautiful visual effect which makes mind refreshed in the water flow and gives people a sense of well-being and peace of mind. Also, it makes the liquor and dishes more delicious. This design is a mass of rhythmically arranged cat's pupil and it makes you feel as if you comfortably filled in the flow of water. As you see, there are various types of glassware such as wine glasses, sake cups, plates and rocks glasses.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
The top view of the glass tableware realized by Limpid Stream is very beautiful because a mass of cat's pupils is reflecting the other cat's pupils inside the glass by cutting the cat's pupil into V shape at a large angle shown in the optional image #2. And the design is not only beautiful but also very smooth to the touch and shock-resistant because the cut of cat's pupil is shallow in depth.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
In order to realize the project Limpid Stream, it was necessary to prepare for the grinding machine to cut the shape of cat's pupil.

CHALLENGE:
The wheels installed in the grinding machine sold to a general user, cannot cut the shape of cat's pupil. So I calculated the cutting-plane angle of the wheel and ordered the customized wheel to a manufacturer of grinding machine.
