What is the significance of handcrafting for students who want to study abroad? Industrial design course training, what kind of industrial design portfolio is attractive? It is very appropriate to come here with these questions to experience them personally. The tenon and mortise technology can be traced back to the Stone Age. In the homes of ancient Chinese royal nobles and ordinary people, the tenon and mortise structure can be seen from building to building, from tables and chairs to benches. One nail and one shutter are not used. However, the buildings and furniture produced are extremely solid, and even more, they are still strong after hundreds of years of wind and rain. Some people say that the simplest furniture with tenon and mortise structure is the round stool. Is it true? What is the important position of the round stool in the history of industrial design?

　　 Understand the difference between traditional industrial design and modern industrial design

Traditional industrial design is a category characterized by manual processing, while modern industrial design is a combination of art and design.

Tenon and mortise structure is the epitome of traditional industrial design. Behind its amazing technology, there is a balance between practicality and aesthetics of product design held by traditional craftsmen. It is a perfect combination of advanced technology and art, which is the embodiment of modern industrial design ideas.

Through further understanding of tenon and mortise structure, we can understand the difference and inheritance between traditional industrial design and modern industrial design, and understand the diversified development trend of modern industrial design, so as to cultivate our comprehensive aesthetic view combining science and technology with beauty.

　　 Cultivation of industrial design thinking

A complete design includes design ideas and thinking process. What do I think about completing a work? Where do I get inspiration? Why should I do this? What is the reason for this?

When we talk about creation or design, we can't just focus on the production or design itself. We should observe the whole system involved in the production of this work. Any creation starts from the problem and seeks solutions for reasons and purposes.

In this handcraft course, we explored the industrial design concept behind the production of the round stool. From the perspective of industrial design practice, we combined classic design cases at home and abroad to stimulate everyone's innovation and expand their thinking perspective.

The New Honeycomb Workshop is a new form of innovation space, located at 800 Changde Road, Jing'an District, and used to be one of the workshops of Shanghai People's Electrical Appliance Factory. Here, history has been inherited and given a new mission. We are here to use our hands and brains, cooperate and create, cross border exchange, and new ideas are generated here every day, and each person's hands will personally give new life to the product.

The new beehive was founded by four friends who graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts, aiming to bring back the experimental spirit and practical ability learned abroad to China.

There are fully equipped shared workshops, comfortable joint office space, various interesting design courses and lectures, as well as creative product design and research and development.
