Y ruler - Unfolding Precision, Aesthetics & Versatility
A multi-functional Ruler, Set square, Compass and Protractor that Inspires Creativity.
Winner of iF Design Award 2024, Golden Pin Design Award 2023.
The concept of Y Ruler come from ancient brass goniometer. It is created to measure angle precisely and assist user to do sketching on drawing table professionally.
The fulcrum of a normal goniometer is made of a rotatable nail, it is easy to move around however hard to fix at certain point firmly. Yuan Design Studio re-designs the goniometer by adding a magnetic system in the ruler. Y Ruler is made of 2 main parts, protractor(body) and arm is engraved from same block of aluminum, light but strong, the magnets in Y Ruler stick the parts together. This design makes Y Ruler rotate smoothly and also stay firmly when user want to do drawing in certain angle. You will find well balance of movement when turning the protractor(body).
Moreover, a glass with engraved center point sit in the body of Y Ruler, allows user to mark their center point easily which a normal protractor couldn't do it. And the clear glass will not hinder users' sight while drawing.
One arm of Y Ruler is engraved with 12cm and 24 holes, while one is engraved 5inch. The arm design of Y Ruler allows user to measure and corner rounder 60mm - 290mm in diameter.
The simple design of Y ruler enhance the whole drawing experience for professionals.

Y Ruler - 展現精度、美觀性和多功能性
多功能設計，集尺子、三角尺、圓規和量角器於一身，啓發你的創造力。

Y Ruler 的概念來源於古代黃銅測角儀。 Y Ruler 是為精確測量角度而設計的，讓您可專業地在本子或繪圖板上精準地繪圖。
普通測角儀的支點是用一根可轉動的釘子做成的，移動起來很容易，但固定在某個點上卻很困難。 我們通過在Y尺中添加磁石系統來重新設計測角器。 Y Ruler 由 2 個主要部分組成，量角器（主體）和臂是由同一塊鋁雕刻而成，重量輕巧但堅固，Y Ruler 中的磁鐵將2件部件粘在一起。 這種設計使得Y尺旋轉順暢，並且在您想要以特定角度進行繪圖時也能保持穩固。 轉動量角器（主體）時，您會發現 Y Ruler 在轉動與靜止間手感有絕妙的平衡。
此外，刻有中心點的玻璃位於 Y Ruler 主體中，讓您可以輕鬆標記他們的中心點，這是普通量角器無法做到的。 並且透明玻璃在繪圖時不會妨礙您的視線。
Y Ruler 的其中一臂刻有 12 厘米和 24 個孔，而另一臂刻有 5 英寸。 Y Ruler 雙臂的設計不但可用作測量, 繪畫更可作為直徑為 60mm - 290mm 的圓角器。
Y Ruler 的簡單設計提升了專業人士的整體繪圖體驗。
