SAAB DV93
Brief Working in groups of 4, you are to design, develop and present proposals for a cup to fit within the cup holder for the new Saab 93. You will need to deliver a solution which is physically desirable, functional as a drinking vessel, functional as an object which is held and can be easily docked in its holder. The DV93 is a thermos cup specifically designed for the SAAB 93 cup holder. Result The design was awarded 2nd place in a competition and was praised by SAAB for its ergonomic shape and attention to detail. The appearance and materials used in the design are in-keeping with the SAAB automotive interior. The unique opening and anti spill functions are demonstrative of a successful design process inspired by usability.

MEMO MIRROR
Brief “Furniture For Real Environments� Many homes and apartments have a limited amount of space, which can make creating storage for a home/study area difficult. Design a storage solution for the home or office area which makes innovative use of ceiling and/or wall space. Result The MEMO MIRROR provides an ideal storage solution for small items and documents. As a domestic product the mirror receives more attention than a pin board or a whiteboard, therefore providing more suitable foundation for a memo/storage device. The design took inspiration from the common behavior of sticking items to the surface of a mirror. The rubber frame allows for temporary storage to be performed effortlessly.
