| As the maker boom arises, more and more people use a soldering machine in their everyday life. For this, a design team, led by Professor Young-Woo Park in the Graduate School of Design and Human Engineering at UNIST has redesigned our conventional soldering machine and made it trendy, yet more functional in the event of soldering. Their design work, entitled ‘Soldi‘, is a daily soldering stationery designed for makers who enjoy DIY activities in their daily lives. The designs of Soldi’s station, soldering iron, and plate are inspired from our existing stationery, in particular, pencil holders, pens with cap and papers. Such simple, yet aesthetic qualities of Soldi, will make soldering more convenient and easy. In recognition of those advantages, Soldi received the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2019 and has also been honored with the G Mark, the symbol of Japan’s Good Design Award. |
