English	Conventional Wi-Fi routers lack individuality and aesthetic appeal, often leading people to hide them behind TVs or under desks, which can cause signal reception issues. Inspired by the shape of a factory smokestack, Complex '1' symbolizes the diffusion of signal like smoke spreading from a chimney, satirizing the traditional, monotonous design of routers. Through this design, it embodies the postmodern spirit and philosophy of discovering personal identity. The slim antennas were redesigned into thick cylinders for a geometric look, with a clock function added for usability, making it ideal for display.
Native	일반적인 와이파이 공유기는 개성이 부족하고 심미성이 떨어져 주로 TV 뒤나 책상 밑에 숨겨 두지만, 이는 오히려 수신 문제를 야기할 수 있습니다. Complex '1'의 디자인은 공장 굴뚝에서 영감을 받아 연기처럼 퍼져나가는 신호를 형상화하며, 전통적인 공유기의 단조로운 모습을 풍자하고자 합니다. 이를 통해 포스트모더니즘 정신을 반영하여 개인의 개성을 찾는 철학을 담아냈습니다. 기존의 얇고 긴 안테나를 두껍고 원기둥 형태로 전환해 지오메트릭한 느낌을 주었으며, 탁상시계 기능을 추가해 사용성을 높여 눈에 잘 띄는 곳에 둘 수 있도록 했습니다.

Positive Comments
Judging Comments	This design was acclaimed for transforming the conventional router into a statement piece that blends functionality with artistic expression. By reinterpreting antennas as geometric smokestacks, it challenges traditional aesthetics while maintaining optimal signal diffusion. The addition of a clock function enhances usability, making it a functional and visually striking object rather than something to be hidden.
