Vertu Twiligh
Design by: Lisa Fong

Special occasion evening phone for the woman of tomorrow.

As time moves on, we are seeing an increasing number of woman entering the work place, which means having to manage their working life, social life, and home life. Vertu Twilight is a mobile phone device that enables the user to stay connected to her most important people while she attends special corporate functions or whiles out socialising on special occasions without having to comprise on style or handbag space.

Vertu Twilight is just as much a mobile phone as it is a piece of exquisite jewellery. The form of Vertu Twilight was based on the common female gesture of sweeping hair behind the ear, and to highlight the elegance of the product and the user, very subtle gestures are used as the interface tools.

An attempt to breakthrough the convention of a chair.

‘What if chairs are not for sitting anymore?’ This question has motivated me to design a piece of furniture that tries to breakthrough the normal uses of chairs.

‘Siamese’ is a reading unit that includes a book rack, a reading chair, a sidetable and a coat rack. It utilizes different parts of a chair to perform different functions.

Seeing Liberty as a brand of contemporary and tradition, ‘Siamese’ is designed to look both modern and classical, using the appearance of traditional wooden chairs and form a new styled, sculpture-like piece of furniture which is also practical to be used in homes. The craftsmanship, which is an important factor of Liberty’s furniture, is shown in ‘Siamese’ as there is no joints between the chairs. All the joining pieces are actually from the same raw piece of wood.

‘Dressed up’ dining chairs for Liberty

People often leave their coats on the back of chairs to claim it and we are just left with a trace of the absent user of the chair, a clue to their existence. Stitching a coat into the chair itself highlights this mysterious quality and plays tricks with people that were not aware that the coat was actually stitched into the upholstery. The back of the chair has been made to the same measurements as an average male so you feel like you are dining with other people whilst you eat. A range of various jackets from different periods in history are stitched into the chairs to create a unique and entertaining dining experience.
