Following the warm reception of his Zig/Zag collection, Bo Zhang is back with another mind-bending series designed to make you question everything you see. The new Ripples collection takes Zhangs fascination with optical illusions and shifting perspectives even further this time, in the form of hexagonal trays. By playing with perception and color, Zhang continues his exploration of interactive design, where objects go beyond their utilitarian roles to become captivating visual art.Zhang, an artist and chief designer of Desz Office, was inspired by the phenomenon of moir, where subtle shifts in perspective create the illusion of ever-changing movement where none exists. I believe the change will bring new value to design the new value from the characteristics of vision, surface, and color, Zhang explains. In the Ripples collection, this sense of change is evoked by the viewers shifting vantage point.The Ripples trays feature a folded form that presents as one color from one angle and another color from a different angle. By merging color and spatial structure, Zhang challenges our understanding of space what initially seems like a single color flat tray reveals itself to be two-toned with a folded surface. This unexpected moment of discovery is what makes the collection so unique, offering a playful and interactive approach to home tableware and decor. I hope users will feel intrigued, surprised, and even a little amazed when they see my designs, Zhang shares earnestly. My goal is to bring more happiness to their lives through new design.Zhangs approach to design is deeply rooted in creating moments of surprise and interaction. Like much of his previous work the Stretch Color Vases, the Vase NA 2.0 collection, and the Rosy Time series the Ripples collection invites curiosity, encouraging users to engage with it from multiple perspectives. This playful experimentation with color and form transforms ordinary tableware into an experience, sparking joy and wonder in otherwise mundane moments.To learn more about the Ripples collection, visit deszoffice.com.
