Jay Bytebier

I am Jay Bytebier. Graduated as industrail product designer, specialization Engineering. In 2019 I will finish the specialization Shape design.

I am a very big sports fan. That’s the reason why I am a competitive mountain biker and road racer. The passion skipped on my studies in 2014 . Because you train in all weather conditions, day in day out, you perfectly experience what it does to a bike. I love to challenge my bike in all those conditions. WhiIe I was training there came a little voice in my head; ‘I want to design my own bike’. This desire became stronger and stronger. How more I designed things in the courses, how more I wanted to design.

So I started to search for an education where I could use my creativity and learn designskills and material knowledge, design. So I did!

It all starts with a dream, so I hope that one day I’ll make a new type of bike.

DIGITAL KITCHEN SCALE

NO MORE XTRA GRAMS

Task Make a new kitchen scale that would fit in the design language of Seymour Powell.

The kitchen scale can also be made for children and people with disabilites.

The engineering part can be conceptual.

DESIGN A NEW DRINK BOTTLE AND CAGE FOR THE TREK TOP 3 ROAD MODELS AND LET IT FIT INTO THE DESIGN LANGUAGE

XXX BOTTLE AND CAGE Task Design a product for a company. The companyof my intrest is Trek Bicycle Coorporation.

I wanted to design a new drink bottle and cage that fits into the design of three road bikes; the Domane, the Emonda and the Madone.

It is an elegant and aerodynamic shape.

Easy for the cyclist to grap the bottle with the small recess. I will work futher on this.

This cage and bottle are so designed that the cyclist needs to pull out the bottle out of the cage. It is a click system that keeps the bottle in place.

Cage and bottle design 2; you need to fit the botte under the snap.It wil provide that the bottle won’t come lose. This is a test mechanisme, but if it will be used in further process, it will be so designed that you won’t see the snap.

They will be covered.

3 This cage and bottle are so designed that the cyclist needs to pull out or to extend the bottle out of the cage.

A click system keeps the bottle in place.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 1 1. Place the holder on the frame.

Fix the holder on the bike with 2x M5 screws and an inbus number 3.

2 2. Open the drinkbus.

Choose your type of sportsdrink.

3 3. The bottle can be used in 2 different ways. You can slide the bottle in the holder or you can click it.

Let’s have a ride!

While riding you can drink your delicious sportsdrink by pulling out the cycling drink bottle as in step 2.

Enjoy!

DESIGN A FIRE INSTALLATION THAT FITS INTO A WINTER FESTIVAL ORGANISED BY BOLWERK IN COURTRAI

‘‘

PROJECT FIRE

PROJECT FIRE Task Feux d’hiver organised by Bolwerk VZW was searching for games on their winter fair. We had the school assigment to work with fire. So a nice fire game for children and their parents to have fun safety on the fair.

Research Prototyping Engineering Shape design Functionality Communication

Duration 6 weeks engineering

Group In collaboration of Stijn Van Damme and Philippe Cox

Skills Fire, gaz ,electronics ,woodwork ,strenght ,construction

Project Because the product needed to stay on a winter festival we thought that it would be a good idea to make a kind of game for kids and their parents. The final game is a bibber spiral; 2 players need to go as fast as possible to the end point, if they touch the bar, the fire will go out and you have to start again. If you finish, the firework explosion will be your winners gift. You can see a movie at the end of the project.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 1

1. Put the end of the handle in the fire and touch the plate in the candle.

If the ring at the end of the handle is on fire, you can play.

Gogogo!

2 2. Try to win the game against your friend or competitor.

If you touch the bar with your handle, the fire will go out and you need to start again. Repeat step 1.

3 3. If you are able to finish as the fastest and touch the metal plate at the end, you win and you’ll get a big fire explosion.Well done!

Let’s try again.

Duration 12 weeks

Project The project was to design a new cloth hanger for people with disabilities. So that people with less force in their hand/arm or without one arm/hand can also use this cloth hanger.

August will do the sketching and finishing touch of the product,Jay will do the technical part and make models.

''We want to give life taste again, let us see your smile''

SKETCHING

Sketches by August Wang

THE MEERS The choice of us, in consultation with the coach, the people with less arm forces, the test people and ergotherapists was this one.

Why this one? Because it is a simple product. We showed all the sketches and they found it the best one. Some of the sketches don’t look ike a cloth hanger so they did not recognize it.

Our new designs will constantly be tested by disable people from the Meers in Waregem, so we get feedback and support from them.

We tested with people with less arm forces, also with people with dementia and people missing an arm or hand.

We were not allowed to take pictures because of the portret rights.

HOW DOES IT WORK? 1. The hook and basic part stays together because of magnets that hold it together.

2. You can open the hook by sliding your hand through the hold.

Now you grap the basic under part and you push it upwards, while you put your wrist against the magic upper part of the magnets and it will lose.

3. Put your pants between the two parts and close it.

You can also put your sweater over the scholder.

This works the same like a normal cloth hanger.

4. Put it in your closet.
