Production Technology

Froggie's eyes are made to be bendable. Each nostril is equipped with a touch sensor button where users can turn on and off each light.

Design Challenge

The most challenging part was to figure out proper representations for each design element, for example, how big its eyes should be proportional to the body, and how much its body should be shown, compared to the rest of its submerged part.

Project Duration

The project began in January 2021 and finished in January 2021 in Banff, Canada.

Operation Flow

Users are able to manipulate its eye shapes by adjusting their positions, which could render various lighting effects.

Research

Froggie is to explore biomimicry in design. It attempts to translate "double life" of Amphibians into lighting design language.

Inspiration

Froggie was inspired by "double life" of amphibians between land and water. Frogs have the permeable skin, which allows them to breathe through the skin in water. They also breathe through the nostrils above the water surface or on land.
