Elevators and Dining/Meeting Table

Dining/Meeting Table:




The first element of this table would be the curved table surface, it is curved in all six sides so the four corners of the table, which symbolizes expansion. This includes the expansion of wealth, the expansion of ideas, and of course the most important --- the expansion of ego.

The two half circle stands which support the table has used glass in order to create an effect as though as the upper table surface is floating above the ground, this symbolizes noblety and superiority, and also is another symbolism of ego.

The red cusions which accompany the the table creates a significant contrast between it and the table. This not only furthur articulate the centre slab, but also makes the dining table more iconic and easily identifiable.

Steve Jobs' Elevator:




As Job focuses on simplicity in design, I have made his elevator into a circle, which is going to be accompanied by a long glass tube which sucks the elevator up or down. This also feels like the most efficient design of an elevator for an efficient man.

There will be a set of arc-shaped glass doors installed in front of the elevator, which would open up the entrance by rotating along the elevator. It also prevents the blocking of view outside of the elevator.


Zhang Yin's Elevator:



As i have mentioned before Zhang is not a creative person, which bring me to the design of this elevator, which is simple and resembles my final model design for its octagon shape.
The different sides of push-ins and pull-outs is actually another symbolism of how even something simple can have details, which refers to Zhang's paper recycling profession, a field she must have excelled in.
