We targeted people born in 1980s as
the owners. In China, most of them
are the only child in their families,
which is totally different from traditional
family style. The 1980s always are
impacted by modern technology like
the Internet and fashionable electrical
products. Meanwhile, many of them
lack interpersonal communication
skills. Even staying in the same
building, they know nothing about their
neighbors.
Concept Development
Due to the characters of the 1980s’,
we selected three groups of young
people to study: single men, single
women, and couples with children.

The Ice-creak Pattern
The Ice-crack pattern originates from the fabric that
ice is broken by stones or other things. The pattern
was first utilized in the Song Dynasty porcelain
design. And then it was extensive utilization in the
windows of Suzhou garden and furniture designs, for
it could provide some of special senses of sight for
