				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Clamp it is a desktop organizer designed to eliminate the clutter by securing all the belongings in one spot. Unlike other desktop organizers, its ease of application turns this experience into a practical solution while making it a constant on the work surface.</p>
<p>Simply fill it in with office tools and clamp it, securing it on your desktop surface. Its mobility provides maximum efficiency to the user, who would not want to be fixated to just one work space.</p>
<p>It is labor saving at times you need to move from one work space to another, just by grabbing the whole &#8216;clamp it&#8217; filled with necessary items and fastening it the new work surface.</p>

<p><em>Salt and Pepper in One</em> is a container that unites salt and pepper in one piece. Tilt one end for salt, the other for pepper.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Its soothing form distinguishes itself from conventional salt and pepper shakers — it blends with everyday surroundings without the hassle of hiding for special occasions. It makes itself available to us anytime.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Elegant and playful&#8230;for all the foods we LoVe. <span id="more-135"></span></p>
<p>The ChOpstiCK:stick2gether is an eating utensil inspired by the elaborate ritual of a tradition that has been carried to our time without loosing its meaning. The time taken during this tangible ritual of using two simple sticks, creating the need for each other to complete the sequence of a movement which turn each bite into an elegant gesture. A silent gesture encourages the dynamics of togetherness. Two individual sticks simply &#8216;sticking 2gether&#8217; and becoming one. The two-fingered movement creates a V shape that represents a part of LoVe, reminding us of the importance of relationships with or without the time apart.</p>
<p>The chopstick is a pair &#8211; made of different materials complimenting each other not only material-wise but also utilitarian-wise on the table setting. The heaviness of the metal and lightness of the wood balances each other. Simply, you pick up the chopstick and gently draw the wood from the metal. Chopstick is used by positioning the wood one between the middle finger and the thumb while the metal stick is placed on the forefinger and the thumb. Chopsticks are then maneuvered to grasp and pick up the foods we loVe. After being done and having them cleaned, the wood part slides so gently inside the hollow metal part. As it slides into, there creates an illusion of how togetherness forms a meaningful structure for a common action.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>
<p>A simple form reminding us of love and how love requiring great care at all times when handled by us. A fragile medium integrating different marks, cuts placed on different locations on the form to imitate as scars, wounds that would point the fragility of love and taken as a reminder for the theme &#8216;Love with Care&#8217;.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p>Warning: Wounds do not refer to the past incidents but present to increase the awareness of one another. They also do not imply emotional weaknesses but unique practices we each experience with love.</p>
