SketchUp Model: 2 Elevators & Dining Table

elevator for Helen Keller

elevator for Miranda Kerr

The elevators (exteriors and interiors) were designed to express the distinctive "power" of the two clients. Losing the most fundamental senses, people like Helen Keller is always much more inaccessible than common ones. The frozen-rock-liked appearance of her elevator was chose to give the hard and cold feelings, contradicting to her peaceful and tolerant mind, which was represented by the smooth surface inside. For Miranda, her girl-next-door figure is deeply accepted, as a sphere with no edge. Her charm comes from her glamorous inner world rather than just body, as the interior of her elevator reveals (inspired by the new year ball).


the dining table

This table was designed for both of the two clients to show the common parts of their power - love for the nature. To harmonize with surrounding ("the Wave"), this table uses the same element with the special landscape form, just like a piece of shale. But I did not use the same colour with the land or any other colours, except white, to make a sculptural feeling, simple but modern. And the tripod table design reminds me of the antique style, which adds the classic feelings as well.
