Design of New Materials

Project
Introduction

Crafted with a new fabric formula, Legend 27 combines the finest Xinjiang long-staple cotton with meticulously combed white cashmere from the goats, resulting in a fabric that is exquisitely soft, gentle on the skin, and luxurious to the touch, ensuring unparalleled comfort when worn. The blend of cashmere and long-staple cotton enhances the fabric's softness and lightweight nature and boasts excellent moisture-wicking and breathability. It not only retains the insulating properties of cashmere but also incorporates the skin-friendly comfort of cotton.
The Legend 27 shirt is made with cutting-edge sewing technology, featuring 7 different stitches including collar, front yoke, back yoke, sleeve placket, sleeve bottom, side seam, and sleeve cuff. A stiffening interlining is added between the two layers of fabric and undergoes 180 degrees cold and hot pressing three times to ensure that the key areas of the shirt remain wrinkle-free and maintain a smooth and durable appearance even after long-term washing. The innovative weaving method also allows the spandex fabric to become slightly elastic. The softal and pucker-free finishing techniques minimize shrinkage and ensure size stability even after multiple washes. Additionally, the shirt is resistant to fading, has a soft and comfortable texture, and eliminates the problem of pilling in cashmere, making it wrinkle-free, non-creasing, non-pilling, non-snagging, non-shrinking, and colorfast.
Legend 27 focuses on the Chinese male figure, improving the discomfort caused by the mismatch between traditional shirt shoulder lines and body shape. It features a patented crescent-shaped placket technique on the abdomen, along with hidden stitching to ensure a seamless appearance. With the horizontal buttonholes on the abdomen, an extra 1.5cm of mobility is provided on top of the crescent-shaped placket, further enhancing the shirt's stretchability to maintain a good body shape for the wearer in various occasions. Tapered panels and adjustable folds are added at the armpits, providing 4cm of mobility to ensure that raising and extending the arms does not affect the shirt's fit. In addition, high-quality sewing thread is used to prevent loosening, breakage, and deformation. With the collection of body samples from 12,000 individuals and 1,300 rounds of pattern adjustments, 27 exclusive sizes have been created, offering a customized and personalized wearing experience.
Legend 27 incorporates brand elements in the details. Its innovative metal precision combined buttons adopt the top and bottom structure. Combined with hot-melt adhesive technology, it achieves visual integration and enhances brand recognition throught the engraved printing. The Legend 27 shirt collar insert is made of the high-end zinc alloy material as Cartier and is manufactured with German exquisite craftsmanship. The 18K gold plating layer is extremely lustrous, and the hyperboloid shape is full and round. The Legend Life brand logo is engraved with precision lasers. After multiple procedures are strictly checked, it shows the best temperament of the wearer with a delicate and delicate texture, conveying a minimalist and elegant design and brand’s unique style.
Manufactured with precision facilities and repeatedly calibrated, the 0.3cm hem of the Legend 27 shirt overcomes problems such as easy valgus and wrinkles, bringing an elegant and ultimate wearing experience. Meanwhile, the buttonhole of the top button is placed obliquely to improve the discomfort of the flat button, and the smaller top button is used to avoid the protruding tie. Also, it adjusts the cuff fit for more room to accommodate a variety of trims. Overall, comfort and decentness are taken into account in all occasions, creating an excellent aura, and showing the wearer's decent, generous and upright temperament. It showcases a professional and fashionable charm, going beyond being just a shirt, but a true masterpiece that combines elegance, comfort, and exceptional craftsmanship, offering customers an ultimate personalized wearing experience.

Project
Introduction

A formaldehyde-buster antibacterial decorative paper for wood-based panel developed, with the concept of eco-friendly, takes into account the water resistance and the surface performance of impregnated paper while removing the formaldehyde emission from the source, which solves the technical problem of aldehyde-free or ultralow aldehyde impregnated adhesive.
The design team innovatively adds a negative oxygen ionizer and nano formaldehyde-buster factor with tourmaline as the main ingredient without changing the original formula of the impregnated adhesive layer, which improves the surface performance of the impregnated paper with its small particle size, high activity and long migration distance - the negative oxygen ion on the surface destroys the cell membrane of bacteria or changes the activity of cell protoplasm and active enzymes with its high activity and redox. Meanwhile, it decomposes formaldehyde in the air or reacts with formaldehyde to produce non-toxic substances through oxidation or reduction, safely and efficiently solving the problems of odor and bacteria inhibition of finishes.
In addition, the product can achieve different properties such as antifouling, oil sparing, waterproof, anti-bacterial, fireproof and wear-resistant through the adjustment of glue proportioning ratio, meeting the needs of use in different environments.
The natural and soothing textures as well as the warm and soft tones are a reflection of the product’s quest for the essence of space featured by purity, nature, tranquility and healing. The patterns can also be customized to meet the needs of individual expression and visual perception of users.

Smart heat wall panels
Winner of 2022 SILVER Prize

Design of New Materials

Project
Introduction

This is a customizable and recyclable self-heating wall panel specially designed for modern interior architecture. With the built-in high-tech smart chip for heating, the surface of wall panel can be heated up to 30 ℃ within 10-minute power-on. Moreover, the product can provides efficient heat supply and lasting heat preservation, thereby achieving “one panel warms one room”.
Different from common decorative panels made of PP, PU or PVC, the product adopts PET from daily recycling materials, such as waste clothing and plastic cups instead of fossil fuels. The worn-out panel can be recycled as well, realizing the close-loop utilization of resources when reducing the input of new materials and the generation of pollutants during the production process.
Thanks to the mature processing technology, the product is assembled and installed by environmental-friendly adhesive made from soybean, avoiding the harmful gases like aldehydes and benzenes. The anti-fingerprint nanoimprint lithography applied in its surface allows good resistance to abrasion and scratch as well as high strength and stiffness, enabling the product to effectively resist impact. Via the sound insulation pad in the lower layer, the wall panel can reduce noise by up to 21dB and protect against ultraviolet radiation, creating a comfortable indoor environment for users. Meanwhile, the antibacterial coating and the IP67 standard of the product decrease the virus adhesion to the surface, which can be well maintained even after disinfection and cleaning. Therefore, such a wall panel is conducive to long-term use and application in medical places during the epidemic prevention and control.
In addition, the product size and shape are designed to fit conventional indoor space, declining choice cost and easing installation for users. The modular installation reduces the production cost and keeps the the heating modules stable. The patterns and textures of different styles are designed through the pattern scanning and acquisition technology from Italy and high-definition ink jet printing. Users can freely custom the high-definition patterns to infuse the space with rich creativity and artistic attraction.
