Design Details
- Unique Properties
- Poetry-Electricity combines wireless charger with tabletop atmosphere lamp. In order to relieve people's working pressure, the desktop charger is designed with a sense of context, which not only meets the basic functional needs, but also can be used as an ornament to create a relaxed working atmosphere. When working overtime at night, tree-shaped spherical atmosphere lights adorn the office environment, which break the indoor depression, cold and create a warm and relaxed office environment.
- Inspiration
- In order to relieve the pressure of work, people begin to layout and decorate their personal office environments, such as putting family photos, choosing some simulated plants and so on. This phenomenon gives me a lot of inspirations and thinkings, how to design digital and electronic devices with a sense of context, not only to meet the basic functional needs, but also as decorations to create a relaxed working atmosphere, let people have good moods, so as to relieve pressures.
- Research
- Similar products in the market have a single function and mostly adopt a simple design style without emotional design concepts and elements. Emotional design allows products to increase the function of companionship, exploring a new realm for the design of digital and electronic devices. This product is jointly completed by designers and engineers. It is a university-enterprise cooperation project. This is anoriginal product development and design based on the university's scientific research background and technical conditions of the update and improvement.
- Challenge
- For digital and electronic devices, there are not too many technical problems, but more important researches on consumer psychology, to break the contradiction between simple modeling and emotional needs, and try to redefine product design from the perspective of semiotics.
- Realization and Technology
- The built-in magnetic barrier blocks the magnetic field, does not interfere with the circuit, and improves the charging efficiency.The rubber texture makes the phone vibrate without slipping off. Built-in strip lithium batteries around can be carried in case of need.
- Operation and Interaction
- Poetry-Electricity consists of a chassis, a wireless charger and a desktop atmosphere lamp for your desk. The phone can be charged directly by placing it on the surface of the wireless charger. The center part is an electromagnetic induction device, surrounded by built-in strip lithium batteries. This part adopts modular design and can be used as a mobile charger.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project began in May 2020 in Fushun, Liaoning Province, China, and ended in December 2020 in Fushun, Liaoning Province, China.
