JK Creations Aquabrush

This project was completed during my time at Techstyle-Europe. Replacing an off-the-shelf bottle, the project aimed to develop a bespoke bottle for the existing Aquabrush product. I was tasked with designing the new bottle as well managing the production of tooling.

With the new bottle, the Aquabrush went on to place as a finalist for product innovation at the Glee International Trade show in 2016.

How does it work?

When in the unlocked position, the bottle can be squeezed to jet cleaning solution.
