N I D US SO A P D I SH ES The Nidus Bath Collection includes two different types of soap holders. One for the counter top, next to your sink, as well as one for your shower. The soap holder for the shower is attached to the wall with a high grade suction cup.
N IDU S S O AP D I S H E S The Nidus Shower Cady gives the user two hooks at the bottom to hang their loofas or wash cloths. The caddy also gives the user a place to hang their shavers/razors.

It also provides cushion for those long bubble baths. The bath mats also have small grooves on the underside to prevent water from building up within the cut outs.
DREM Li g ht i ng Co ncept
For
this
project,
I
was
inspired
by
my
passion and interests. By considering the four things I am interested in, I narrowed down
the
area
that
I
wanted
to
design
f o r. T h e i n s p i r a t i o n t h a t I c a m e u p w i t h was music, art, and dance. I chose these things because of how much I love music. I also considered the many possiblities that could branch out of these subject matters.
I looked at many types of form and styling inspirations for this project. My first trial for form generationg was from a program called Chaoscope. By creating my own formula to generate forms, the program generated unique fractals for each song. I also started to look at robots because
of
the
inspiration
from
Electronic
Music.
I
thought of Electro Music to be sounds that robots make, therefore I looked into them. I also looked into concept cars because of their robotic features.

The Cedo container is the new age container for food on the go. The main compartment is used to carry a healthier choice such as celery and/or carrot sticks. The secondary compartment on the top is used to fill up with any type of dipping sauce.
The Cedo container is equipped with a temperature sensor in the front of the container. You can store your Cedo in the fridge before going out, and through out the day you can see if your snack is kept cool.
The Cedo container can be locked and unlocked by moving the handle up or down. To access the main compartment, just slide the secondary compartment up, diagonally. To access the sauce compartment, just pop open the air-tight lid, then you are ready to go and enjoy your snack on the go!
