Product name: Flowing scissors


Designed by: Ke Zhang



Function: kitchen scissors for general cutting and food cutting

Bottle opener

Nuts squeezer



People who may buy it:

This scissors is design for people who enjoy the modern, simple and efficient life style. This scissors is suitable for a modern kitchen, for people from 25 to 35 both man and woman who work in the office like ccountant uni teacher so forth. Their daily life is relatively regular. They like to cook and care about home decoration.





Features and benefits:

This scissors consist of two parts, the ellipse handle and blades, two handles are fitted in one shape and the blades connect each other gradually, which make the scissors looks as a whole.

I construct this shape because I think the scissors should looks flowing, there should not be a visual gap between the handles and blades, and they should match and fit each other.



Also the blade is not straight, it is 20 degree away from vertical. Because people always standing when cutting in kitchen. There is an angle between people’s hand and the stationary, so we can not put hands on the table and cut a straight line because the blade will scratch the table. However if there is a angle , we can do that easy.



The connect parts are two piece of metal fit in each other and when people open the scissors to the maximum angle , the two blade can be separated, so it is easy for cleaning .



Small details, the bottle opener is placed in the downward of the ellipse so it will not hurt people and there is a squeezer between two handle, also inside the handle there is a rubber ring which let people use more force when cutting and won’t feel hurt.





Material

Handle: Plastic (Polyvinyl Chloride or PVC)

Blade: Stainless steel

Inside handle: rubber ring

This video showed the manufactoring process of a product in China.
Manufacturing in China has taken the manufacturing industry by force. With low cost labor and world class factories it is a very viable country to consider when thinking of manufacturing your product. Large corporations have taken advantage of this for many years but with the right contacts and infrastructure smaller firms can now also reap the rewards of manufacturing in China.

China is a very appealing country for international manufacturing of all industries, while some countries in the Asian region have found a more niche market. India and Pakistan are more powerful into textiles at this point of time, but still a viable options for global manufacturers.

Although globalization has brought American countries lower wages and lower cost to their manufacturing needs, we have to consider the impact it has to our local economy. More manufacturing needs are being shifted offshore and less manufacturing jobs are being filled on the mainland USA. But when businesses save cost, they can now pass those savings onto their customers in a win-win situation.

manufactoring is a important part in industrial design, it should be efficient and low cost with good quality.
