The Ridgewood Jacket project is intended to celebrate the faux wood-grained doors in the Ridgewood, NY community, primarily painted by 78-year-old local craftsman Ferdinand Tschinkel.
Ferdinand Tschinkel
The Ridgewood Jacket falls under Karlssonwilker's label KWOTUS, collaborating with Ferdinand by utilizing the cut-out woodboard version of the jacket pattern as the canvas for painting.
I worked throughout the entire production process under the direction of Jan Wilker and Conner Muething. The project was featured on NewYork CURBED Magazine, US.
As a designer, I prioritize creating structured and efficient environments. Yet, there's value in elements that transcend these boundaries. There is an urgent need for temporary spaces, bypassing the wait for revised design systems, and parallels patching designed systems. The allure of these spaces lies not only in their immediacy but also in their profound impact on the urban landscape(or any designed systems). They serve as unexpected interjections, challenging the established norms of systematic design. These spaces captivate me, prompting an exploration of them across locations.
Through exploring and documenting different kinds of temporary and non-permanent spaces in urban construction, the project wants to arouse people's attention and curiosity about some seemingly permanent and inevitable things around our daily lives.

Pull Apart the Layers of 40°41'18"N 73°58'56"W
Viewing the construction site as a series of layers, I perceive each as a stage in a theatre. The workers, like actors, perform scripted roles on these stages, albeit without the ability to see themselves from this perspective. The markings on each layer, intended for construction, also serve a dual purpose reminiscent of stage markers, guiding the workers to their next positions. The transformation of these "stages" over time, and the unfolding of this "show" over more than half a year, captivates my interest.

Project exhibited at
NYU ITP 2022 Winter Show
CICA Museum, Seoul KR
In December 2022, IN BETWEEN THE WINDOW was officially presented to the public at New York University’s ITP Winter Exhibition. The location of the exhibition at NYU’s Tisch School in downtown Brooklyn was uniquely significant for the project.
During the event, the audience was highly interested in the visual presentation and light effects of the project, and it provoked thoughts and discussions from a variety of perspectives and created a meaningful dialog in the community.
