INITIAL IDEATION Co n sid e r a tion s Materials Traditional vs. non-traditional Manufacturing processes Design aesthetics
P r o c e ss After doing some initial sketching to explore aesthetics, came up with eight ortho sets to show final directions.

REEDCASE
Design a Clarinet reed case from the ground up, using the best technology available in order to accommodate the growing needs and demands of the modern professional Clarinetist.

REED 101
+ reed
= mouthpiece
music
If the reed warps, its nearly impossible to sound decent.
So why do reeds warp? humidity
surface storage
intervals between usage
Reeds have a wooden cellular structure, and when humidity levels change rapidly, the reed does not dry evenly, causing it to warp. Storing reeds on a surface which is not perfectly flat (plastic) causes the moisture to leave the reed at an uneven rate. This results in warpage Playing a reed to often early on in its breaking in cycle causes it to wear down quickly because the cells are not yet sealed.

PROUCT BENCHMARKING Storage Surface Quality
Product Opportunity
Humidity Control
Ad d re s s ing the p rob le ms The bottom line is that there is no complete reed storage solution on the market. They’re all too bulky, don’t store the reeds correctly, or don’t hold enough reeds. It’s time for something that works.
10
SOLUTION
Two humidity gauges, with dials on the outside, monitor humidity of the two separate sides.
Humidity sealed with industrialstrength O-rings on each side.
Ad d re s s ing the p rob le ms 2 sided case, allows holding of up to 20 clarinet reeds
double sided case each side humidity controlled holds 30+ reeds works with all size reeds reeds help on memory foam strip

SOAPBAR
Design a soap bar for a middle aged woman who is a dog-breeder and trainer on a farm in Kentucky (American Fox Hounds) who suffers from dry skin and has a love of traditional Appalachian remedies and folklore.

X15
Subjects reported less forearm fatigue with a handle angle of 19 degrees
Subjects did not prefer a circular handle profile, opting instead for a slightly oblong design
