A different way of travelling.

KOSMOS was born from the concept of living and travelling with all the necessary amenities, whilst respecting nature and leaving it undamaged. Through the technology of solar panels, it is possible to store and utilize green energy whilst on the move.

Grasshopper generative design

Logo design The design of the logo is strictly connected to the design pattern of the solar panel Pattern realized with Lunchbox

I have also made another pattern using the plugin LunchBox which I ended up not using.

*Display of each component: Bifocals (https://www.food4rhino.com/en/app/bifocals)

By using a grid and same-size triangles (also used on the solar panels), I created the letters to form the word ‘KOSMOS’.

The name was inspired by the main concept of the backpack: solar energy and nature.

Variants

For the logo itself I played with the triangles and with different colors, resulting in sun in the middle.

Another variant would be substituing the ‘o’ in KOSMOS with the logo, as I did for the branding on the backpack itself.

WUP 2020 / 21 Drawing 3D CAD 1 and 2 KOSMOS - Solar light charging backpack Initial shape For the initial shape I have used mainly the components Sweep2 and Loft.

Details I have programmed some patterns to use for specific parts of the design.

This is a line that has been used for the closure of the top part of the backpack.

This element was going to be the entrance for cables and earphone, I decided not to include it.

Weaving of pockets I designed a weaving pattern to use on the lateral pockets of the backpack.

Initial shape of the lateral pockets
