The challenge for this eight week lasting project was:
“Create
a loudspeaker system following the Ripol-principle for a freely selected clientele“ Well, what is the Ripol-principle? According to Dipl. Ing.
Axel Ridtahler, inventor and patent owner of the threechamber subwoofer system, <Winstead of the usual spherical shape the Ripol radiates low frequency directed sound waves. One in the front and with different intensity by 180 degrees rotated phase to the rear. This was now the foundation stone for the project.
With the initial concept phase, I began to analyze profiles of different people. Which type of man has which requests of furnishings? What type of car does a successful entrepreneur buy? Would a Ripol speaker fit into this type of car? Would it fit in a private jet, or even on a yacht? The sailing yacht BAVARIA Vision Fourty-Six was the solution.
Ripol subwoofer system and Speaker on the deck of the yacht provides rich sound everytime and everywhere Instead of the usual spherical shape of the ripol, the low frequencies radiate directed sound. Two in the front and one in the back

Dentists recommend toothbrushing time to be at least two minutes to ensure a thorough cleaning. This however can not be read simply from the display of current toothbrushes, as the straight form a direct view hardly permits it.
Many electric toothbrushes are characterized by a simple, medical design. Visually they are quickly lost sight of among other products in the bathroom.
The use of water and toothpaste often leaves unsightly leftovers on the surface over time, which are generally very difficult to remove.
Long, straight handles and gripping positions cause unfavourable holding situations while toothbrushing and put a strain on the wrists.

The arched shape of the case allows for an ideal angle of the display for the consumer during usage.
The dynamic and peaceful form, as well as the horizontal deposition function give the electric toothbrush a higher status among the range of toiletries on the vanity.
The soft component of the toothbrush, which surrounds the casing, is easy to remove and can be cleaned with ease.
By optimizing the angle of the hand while using the toothbrush, the resulting natural position and the corresponding motion relive the wrist.

the concept
The challenge for this eight week lasting project was:
I decidet to use a classical piece of music:
“Conceptualize a PC speaker to match a selected piece of music“
“Four seasons“ by Antonio Vivaldi
With the ambition to integrate the feelings and statements of a music composition into a physical body,
In this case I focused myself to the part of „Winter“. Divided into three sets this work explains the contrast between unpleasant whipping winds, cold rain and dis-

The result
As a result of this project originated a pair of speakers made â&#x20AC;&#x2039;â&#x20AC;&#x2039;of fine mahogany, which is coated with high-gloss violin varnish on convex taut surfaces and combined with cool natural stone. This defines slightly transparent with straight edges and undefined, icy gray grains the cold sound body of the speaker. The housing is keeping with the natural description of the music composition exclusively from naturally grown raw materials.
MAHAGONY WOOD The front element is made of Mahogany wood, the surface is convex spanned and acts by its color and shape light and warm.
SPEAKER Due to the separation of frequential of dome tweeter and full-range speakers, the closed housing construction is ideally used.
NATURAL STONE The main body is made of Italian â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alabasterâ&#x20AC;&#x153; natural stone which has the optimal Sound illustration properties. The surface is smooth, constructive and slightly concave. Thus the element acts cold and heavy.

“AXIS“ THE GAME Community game for kids and adults

“AXIS“ THE GAME Good social behavior is of immense importance, from a young age. Already among children should be ensured their social behavior, because who can not abide by the rules in a group, will have it very difficult in later life. True to the motto „Playing together is fun“ This project involves the concept for a game, that will teaches the togetherness to the children. It is based on an idea by the mathematician and inventor Paul Schatz. An „invertible cube“. A geometric shape that through rotating, sliding and tilting constantly reinventing itself. This toy is a modular construction system that can be connected both indoors and outdoors to larger forms. Due to its special shape caused by connecting, separating and everting of many parts exciting shapes. It is to be regarded as a learning game and urges and promotes the spatial imagination, learning of geometrical shapes and the social behavior of children and adolescents.
As a modular construction system, it arouses curiosity and fun and inspired by the diverse forms that results from experiments. The form, made up of six elements, are light, soft and grippy. Even if a child can move it effortlessly, it requires the help of the other children to reposition it, hold and connecting it with other elements. Both infants and adults can determine the goal of the game in different ways. Where the little ones prefer climbing and experimenting, teenagers and adults planning team games for leisure time and events. In every respect one is dependent on the cooperation.
During a crucial learning period in their young lives, children are pointed into the right direction and taught about the importance of good social behavior and interaction.
The result of this idea are four 1:1 models in poly-urethane foam coated with a special colored impregnation and thus are resistance capable and hygienic. Initial tests in a kindergarten demonstrated that the factor curiosity and enthusiasm seems to be an integral part of these objects.
Educational game for children that promotes social behavior, requiring to help each other and act as a team.

The problem
„Although it actually only consists of six identical parts, the kinematics are complicated. The designer embraces this paradox for a game that can be played both inside and outdoors and will keep any adults that want to join in on theyr toes too. Folding, twisting and inverting results in countless configurations, which are nevertheless limited by the fact that the parts are joined into a ring. It is this contrast that is so alluring. Almost incidentally, the eye is trained in static and dynamic geometry too. The sections are soft and light, thus posing no hazard to safety. Their size, together with the sturdy twisting joints encourages children to help one another as their play“
The solution
Together in a team even larger structures are easy to build
The comprising eight parts ball is 2.2 meters tall and can be changed in just 3 steps to a square
The experiment is the game. Countless combinations arouse the curiosity
The scenario
The concept is based on an idea by the mathematician Paul Schatz. An invertible cube. A geometric shape that constantly reinventing itself by rotating, sliding and tilting. Its inversion kinematics is surprising and is at Axis the joke of the game.

The project In the most current project I pursued academically, I focused on comprehensive research and various analyzes in order of fundamental and truth oriented knowledge to being able to live off. Starting with various wheelchair producers to its application areas, gathering users’ opinions and experiences quickly a number of significant shortcomings of wheelchairs was originated. In addition I found much potential, which I was able to work on. After a self-test, in which I was spending a day from morning untill evening in a wheelchair, in conjunction with all the analyzed data from the following catalog of tasks, originated this project:
Problem Analysis Hands pollute by being in permanent contact with the tire. This forces the user to wear gloves. Solution:
Pneumatic tires pose a risk for plates, therefore more forcing on caution limits the user’s freedom. Solution:
MORE DISTANCE TO GRIPPING WHEEL
„MICHELIN TWEEL-CONCEPT“ NON-PNEUMATIC TIRES
√
Tires standing straight; This leads to a lack of overview and assessment of the outer edge of the wheelchair; Risk of hands on door frames. Solution:
WHEEL WITH 15 DEGREE INCLINATION
√
√
Conventionally wheelchairs offer no storage space and restrict the user therefore significantly in whose discretionary: Solution: INDIVIDUAL LUGGAGE RACK
√
THE AUDIENCE The sense of helplessness and indigence mediates a variety of conventional wheelchairs, the conspicuous Active Wheelchair counteracts deliberately and embodies a confident and strong voice. People with disabilities often have the desire for fun and adventure and seek a way to pursue it. Wheelchairs restrict many lives and deprive them from the feeling of freedom. After interviewing many young people with limited mobility, the subject of self-consciousness and self-awareness emerged as the key theme of this project.
No more compassion, through to enthusiasm Athletes, fun-lovers, adrenalineseekers and world explorers are the target audience of this work. Contrary to the wide product range of care wheelchairs, the active variant should be a new option in the direction of lifestyle products.

Freedom requires storage space !!! (1) store
STOWAGE As a modular, replaceable extra it can be changed easily and individually by the user and adapted to his requirements
STORE LUGGAGE Bags, backpacks, etc. can be set from the front or through the tire into the luggage net. If necessary, it can be secured thereon by means of two straps.
(2) save
SAVE LUGGAGE In order to preserve the bag in a safe position, or even to hide the empty nets, it can be easily lifted in the direction of the seat. It locks into place regularly and can be opened simply again by the train at the safety lever.
SEATING
RIGID RIM
HUBLESS TIRE
Through leather on top and bottom and a thin core of a plastic-metal braid the seat looks minimalistic and provides sufficient comfort.
The enlarged surface of the inside and the fixed position of the rim enables the abdonment of unsightly mud guards to prevent contact between the clothes and the rotating tire.
The on slide bearings running tires allows the â&#x20AC;&#x17E;openâ&#x20AC;&#x153; wheel to grip through. The advantages includes a lower injury potential and the substantially lighter and more minimalist look.
