折光球
Anti-Fly Sphere
2010
在墨西哥城市的多数食品市场有一种传统的驱虫方法，即在街上常见的一些墨西哥玉米卷饼亭顶棚悬挂的一个装满水的塑料袋。这款防飞虫玻璃球通过水的折射作用，将飞虫在玻璃球前运动时，其敏感的眼睛所接收到的颜色和运动信号的强度进行夸大，从而把苍蝇吓跑。这一作品将传统的灵感来源转化为时尚且颇具吸引力的设计佳作，既不伤害昆虫，也使飞虫远离食物，是一种极佳的可持续利用“驱虫利器”。
Hanging a plastic bag full of water from the ceiling is a traditional way to scare flies away in most of the food markets on urban Mexico. The refraction of the water amplifies color and movement for the sensible eyes of a fly reflected on this sphere. It is a ingenious way of scaring flies away, making it the perfect sustainable pesticide, in a way that the insect remains harmless and the food is free of flies. This design transforms this traditional idea into a modern and appealing shape in glass.
