"Fate·String (sin) - Fulfilling Every Fantasy of the Three Blades"

When we traverse through the tumultuous or silent realities, and pick up a fidget spinner, should it be dynamic or static?

Even if it ceases to rotate, I hope the string remains perpetually dynamic, with three blades intertwining and converging towards the center, spinning like a vortex. The vortex converges at the center, yet the boundaries seem boundless, as the string's outline is composed of twisted Möbius rings—fading on one side, birthing on the other. From the side, the string appears as undulating waves, while from the front, it forms a gathered vortex. However, it's not as simple as it seems.

Perforation has become a trend in recent minimalist fidget spinner designs, but most perforated designs involve only two visual layers—outer ring and perforation. The string's perforation, on the other hand, reveals an internal third layer, making it a tri-layer design. Embracing three layers visually, it gradually fades from the outer to the inner, converging and connecting through the triple-overlapping blades, transforming the static three layers into a dynamic whole.

Some might argue that with so many layers, it appears overly intricate. I accept all criticism, and let me share the journey of exploration in its design. Initially, it had two blades, with a simple perforation on the main body. As the perforation grew larger, a small apex was added in the somewhat vacant middle, turning it into a tri-layer perforation. However, no matter how it was drawn, it couldn't achieve the envisioned appearance. It wasn't until the final form of the slider was achieved, and the studio was about to conform to the mainstream, that it, as an experiment of fantasy, was transformed from two blades to three. I thought it would stay as a fleeting dream in my mind, but life is full of surprises. One day, on a train trip, inspiration struck, and the fantasy came true—Fate·String (sin) was born.

No matter how beautiful at first glance, without sustained pleasure, it will quickly be forgotten. The Fate·String (sin) have a satisfying tactile feel to be considered complete. Human fingers move around the base in an arc, forming a circular path. The Fate·String (sin) force application aligns with this arc, providing a natural fit whether the fingers rest at the base, top, or middle of the blades. To avoid any sharp edges, all these edges are chamfered with a 0.5-radius. Even the angle of this small chamfer was meticulously explored through several iterations.

Regarding the Fate·String (sin) self-locking design, it similarly employs a three-layer structure, with the three arcs touched by fingers positioned on a continuous step to effectively diffuse pressure. The open deep center almost entirely resolves the common issue of deep concave overhang, maximizing a sense of security. Practicing finger jumps with the string proves to be exceptionally efficient.
