FORM STUDIES
S-CURVE (the form in the middle) represents the process of falling in love with the volume, proportions, details and surface of my own liking. It has been made after a ton of iterations & represents my preferred form language. The four extremes have been made after understanding the middle form (S_CURVE).

CEILING FAN CLEANER Fantom in action
Product parts detail
Modular Cleaning kit
SIMPLE PRODUCT DESIGN
Fantom is a twin roller with an angle in the stick to give a comfortable and ergonomic grip while cleaning the fan. The twin rollers with microfiber cloth exerts both rolling and sliding friction which makes the cleaning faster and better. Fantom also helps in extended arm reach, minimum stress to the neck, better back posture, better ergonomic palm grip and perpendicular wrist angle for added comfort. Idea iterations for fan cleaning product.
