Spomeniks - Decorative homeware pieces
Designed by Yuzhao Huang, 'Spomeniks' won the Accessories Category in the Global Design Graduate Show in collaboration with Gucci 2021.
This is a collection of 5 decorative homeware pieces, designed using high-heel language with mechanical elements that can transfer the pieces between forms and create unexpected movements.
In the summer 2019, I travelled across Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Serbia to visit 14 SPOMENIKS built in the former Yugoslavia era. These abandoned World War II monuments made me feel “REBORN”.
In this project, I want to create a collection of “Objects of Wonder” that can deliver the feeling of “rebirth”. This project also explores a new direction of footwear design by seeing high heels as engineering homeware products in the fashion context.
This collection can fit in the homeware market for a high-end fashion brand as part of the brand’s lifestyle identity.
"I inherited an interest in structures and forms from my aircraft engineer father and physics teacher mother, and develop it into the fields of fashion, products, architecture, sculpture and interior design."
"After my graduation I joined a furniture design studio, ‘Brodie Niell’, as a Design & Studio Research Assistant. The team also operate the independent production furniture brand ‘Made in Ratio’."
