K8CKA - cube puzzle
Form study via puzzle of an all-time classic shape - cube. Each cube must contain 8 identical parts that together form a cube.* Interesting shapes are given if parts are inverted and formed into a puzzle in an opposite way. No, this just looks easy. My brain hurts!
*Each of these (individual part on the left picture and
ones in upper row on the right) form a cube, though only inverted cubes are shown in the pictures.

Ergonomic bike saddle
Ergonomic bike saddle design that was made in wood as some sort of prototype. There were two final designs that were chosen based on ergonomy research. Ergonomy is one of the most important things in industrial design - products are made to make our lives easier. If it’s only pretty, yet not functional, what’s the point?

Arauna air freshener
The brief was to design everyday product by finding inspiration in nature. The product I’ve chosen was air freshener whose form reminds of a parrot known as “Ara Ararauna”. Fact that this bird can be found in exotic places connects with the function of the product - many users love the exotic scent in their air freshener. Simplified shape with strong colors give elegance to the product and promote a pleasant environment.

iFamily - set of music products
Inspired by Apple’s music products, this is the family I’ve put together while exploring various shapes and differences among them. Take your music everywhere!

2.1 Line speakers - Logitech redesign
Redesign of Logitech’s 2.1 line speakers - even though the company usually has simple and elegant designs, I thought it would be interesting to put a twist on it and experiment a bit with lights.

Stand mixer for men
Now, men usually want it simple in the kitchen which means all the add-ons for appliances would gather dust forever and never be used. Design should look dynamic, simple and strong. Colors of a racing car are a good inspiration here which pops out the question - could they be used in the design of other products meant to be used by men? Guys! Guys! Food preparation could be fun with this shark looking fellow.
What’s cooking?

Dreambot
For those who are into dreams and their meanings its very important to have a notebook where dreams are written down. That might be a bother since dreams cannot always be expressed so good through words. In order to improve that, I’ve designed a dream robot - device that would allow users to memorize their dreams quick while having fun. Thanks to this egg looking robot, users can express their dreams through pictures, drawings, other things that can be put as easy reminder in order to recreate scenes that happened in a dream. Dreams can be easily organised in folders with a date when they happened and also note what real life situations might have triggered them. Use

Swanbrush
Design of an electric toothbrush with a suitcase and tiny mirror. Another inspiration from nature resulting in attention-grabbing, flowing form. Swans are indeed animals that flow across the water surface very elegantly.
Choices: the dark or the light one?

Pictograms
Pictograms inspired by the four iconic rock’n’roll musicians of 20. century. More or less each legend represents a period/ decade. Basic studies, 3rd year’s task from Product’s Graphic subject limited us to create only four pictograms and to choose theme we personally like. Since I’m very much into music, especially this genre, this was the perfect choice for me!

Pillbox
The brief was to design an everyday product and make a prototype in 3D printing technology. Together with other master students, I’ve done a research on the technology, market and made few surveys that were completed by potential users. The idea was to create a pillbox as a cap that would fit a water bottle that people buy in the market.
Prototype and color variations
Pillbox prototype The role of the prototype is to test your design and check how it works in real life. I had a model of my pillbox 3D printed by Voxellab and it resulted in a few conclusions. The fit on the few water bottles I’ve bought in regular market was perfect which made me happy. The lid of the pillbox was a bit loose which proves the prototype did its job and showed what needs to be changed in design.

Picnican - picnic set for breakfast
With technology improving and growing fast, we find ourselves captured by phones, tablets, and other similar devices, spending a big amount of time on social networks. Life somehow became too fast-paced for us to find time to meet friends face to face and actually hang out with them. Another thing that is not seen very often is that we also spend way less time in nature on fresh air. Uncommon picnic set is a great opportunity for inspiring everybody to go out and have breakfast in the park surrounded by dear people.
Picnic set
Picnican - specifications In order to satisfy the needs of today’s modern man who simply demands to have his gadgets with him most of the time, this product needs to count in something that will keep entertainment on a high level. Breakfast can be much more fun with a picnic set that allows many creative options for its users. Set contains the following: • Picnic box • Tray x2 • Thermos x2 • Salt&pepper shaker • Portable charger (add-on) • Portable speaker (add-on) Picnic box
Picnican - thermos Thermoses come in a size of 700ml each which is more than enough for a nice breakfast. Idea was to separate cold and hot beverages - tea, coffee, milk, juice. But how could one tell which beverage is in which one, they look the same?! Yes, they do. But tiny detail that’s actually temperature indicator allows users to visually know which thermos has cold/hot content. It changes colors depending on the temperature of what’s inside! Stainless steel 18/8 makes sure that thermoses hold the temperature up to 24h. Ergonomic shape secures the grip while the cap can serve as a cup.
Thermos
Picnican - salt&pepper shaker One of the main problems at picnic parties is the lack of specialized cases or containers for condiments! People usually end up carrying them in plastic bags which isn’t very practical. The small, simple and compact design of a condiment container. 2 in 1 container, secure lock that prevents a mess in a box during transport. Open by twisting.
Sugar, spice and everything nice!
Picnican add-ons The add-ons in this product family are created for the majority of people that love to party! They are optional in this set and can be attached to the picnic box via magnet. What is a picnic without music?! And what if my phone battery is dying?! No worries, a portable charger will save the day!
Oh, such a perfect day, Im glad I’ve spent it with you.
