These lamps and lanterns tell the story of a blind Designer

According to Find, the 28 year old young designer from Australia, Duncan Meerding, has a legendary experience: at the age of 14, he completed his own guitar, won the wood design award at the age of 18 at the Hobart college, and completed his art history and furniture at the Australian University of Tasmania at 23. It was an opportunity and an opportunity for Duncan to have a degree and win a springboard scholarship and a biennial Minister of youth art for the same year.

Of course, at the same time, his little partner, a tape measure that will be counted, can express his design feelings, even if he is a blind man.

In the near world without central vision, he can't see the shape of the designed furniture. Touch and sound become the powerful design tools and design principles of Duncan. The strong emotion makes him more able to be in the design. This is the beauty of the design that belongs to Duncan only...
