Product introduction from the author:
Hello everyone, I'm Walnut, an independent toy designer. Today, I'm introducing the release of 'STAR SURFER''s original new product—the silk fidget spinner.
For the past two years, I've been deeply exploring the design possibilities of an unlimited-position push card game. This time, I wanted to try a completely new category—the fidget spinner.
Designing a fidget spinner was much more challenging than I anticipated. Excellent designs kept emerging one after another, and I spent a long time thinking about how to differentiate myself. Ultimately, I drew inspiration from the real material "silk," gradually confirming several design directions, including side cutouts, continuous curved surfaces, and asymmetrical shapes.
The final shape and design concept of the silk achieved a high degree of unity, just like a continuous piece of silk fabric. I really like to photograph the side of the silk, which can reveal the scenery behind it and blend into the environment.
The weight distribution scheme of silk is a gradually emerging but still relatively niche design with side cutouts. Combined with its relatively slender proportions, it provides a strong tactile feedback when flipped.
