Htvront 2 is an automatic heat press designed for home crafting and small business use. An auto down and up mechanism applies even pressure without manual effort. Pressure can be set across seven levels from 20 to 80 kilograms, while temperature and time remain adjustable for different materials. The pressing height reaches 4.5 centimeters, so thicker items can be used. A slide out drawer and a heat insulating plastic shell reduce heat accumulation and protect users. The heat press shuts off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Hopu Series is a set of tool-free connectors for flat-pack furniture. The plastic connectors use elastic deformation, changing shape temporarily under pressure to join parts. Furniture can be assembled and disassembled quickly without tools, which improves the installation experience and extends the service life of the furniture. Finished melamine striped particle boards give a farmhouse appearance and raise manufacturing efficiency, while reducing material waste and harmful gas emissions. Applications include cabinets, sideboards, benches and pet litter boxes.
Starry Night is a glowing orchid created through a biotechnology process. The orchid glows in the dark after high-entropy oxides that comply with European Union standards are absorbed through the leaf veins. No genetic modification is used. The petals show a designed pattern of light at night without any additional light source, recalling a starry sky. Several luminous colors are displayed. The plant measures 250 mm in width, 250 mm in length and 500 mm in height. The intent is to offer a calm and relaxing viewing experience.
Hot 20S is a smartphone with a color changing back cover. The back cover combines photochromic ink and luminescent ink in one finish. In daylight, ultraviolet light turns the surface blue violet and reveals a graphic pattern. In a dark environment, the same surface glows blue green and shows the opposite effect. Three color states are produced without any power consumption. The finish is made through twenty processing steps, careful polishing and controlled color mixing. The aim is to add surprise and emotional value to daily phone use.
The CR1 is a carbon fiber wheelchair that is fully customizable to the user's individual specifications and preferences. The unique, dual-angle front end was designed to follow the lines of the user's body, allowing them to get closer to objects for improved accessibility and maneuverability in tight spaces. The aerodynamic tube profile and its orientation were designed to improve strength, user comfort in areas contacting the body and aesthetically to promote a sense of speed. The dual-purpose sideguards provide protection to the user while acting as a structural member for support.
