3. Escape From The Moon by Si Ye, Tao Hao, Zhang Xuesen - Department of Product Design, School of Design, Jiangnan University, undergraduate students
Tyvek® looks like paper but is very different from plain paper. Tyvek® is harder, harder to ignite, and resistant to chemical attack; it can be baked 100 to three degrees bain without an open flame and has a very beautiful texture, much like the surface of a meteorite There is uneven texture. We made full use of the material's characteristics of fire baking and dyeing. We mainly extracted the element of vermiculite and made a variety of different shapes of vermiculite through folding. It is not only with a different sense of geometry, but also echoes each other through size and other aspects. . After folding, we also selected some of the more distinctive features of the fire to create a meteorite texture. With the addition of light, the entire surface of the meteorites has both a textured texture and the basic texture of Tyvek® itself. We chose waste newspapers and landscaping mud as the base of the work. After the layers of steps, the lunar surface irregularities and craters were considered, creating the feeling of the lunar surface. Finally, we use the transparent silk to hang the meteorites, or place and fix them, and mix them with warm lighting to finally create a quiet and feminine space.

Contest Jury Review:
Zeng Hui: “Using the translucency, flexibility, dyeing effect, and special texture of Tyvek® materials to create a meteorite shape from space and create a variegated luminaire shape with the qualities of Oriental living aesthetics. It is easy to fold and easy to carry. , to bring a unique light perception to the user."

Zhang Lei: “In all works, the only work that uses temperature-change material language is the high-temperature qualitative method that helps designers create the convex-concave texture of the lunar surface. With dyeing, it gives him endless changes. The reason for choosing this work is Designers are concerned about the material itself rather than using it directly."    

Token Hu: "We combine the fold characteristics of the material weaknesses with the rugged surface of the rock, which is uneven, and do not mix the material with the three-dimensional structure. The same creative direction, through the use of different colors, coincides with the current popular design sense. Fashion trends reflect the designer's understanding of colors and textures."
