I have always had an interest in design which started well back in secondary school; then going to Cleveland College of Art & Design (CCAD) gave me a further pathway into the world of design. Whether it was drawing or designing interiors/ building exteriors or the products that go in them. My continued obsession with photography helps me lock specific details into my designs. Whether it was down to the camera and how intricate it was or down to the fact that you are able to capture a moment in time by the click of a button in such a fast paced life. So because of this I try to create very unique, beautiful products.
Skills:
LJUD Speaker To design a product that embraces emerging technology, the way that we interact with these products and how we lead our lives. This product must be aesthetically desirable for the market.
The main body of this speaker is made from teak followed by an aluminium end piece which is what the cover for the speaker is attached too. The legs are also made from aluminium, this is because using aluminium makes the speaker lighter.
There are also other wood finishes the body can come in which include oak, pine, birch, cherrywood and walnut.

A chrome plated tubing is used on the legs to create a sleek finish.
For the back and base, oak has been used to give the finish a sense of class. This contrasts well against the chrome.
1100mm
100% real tanned leather has been used to cover the cushioning on the chair.
The arms are made from chrome plated tubing.

Recycled Plastic Desk Having spent the beginning of term exploring your own ideas surrounding one of three themes; Social, Environmental or Political, you will now be developing those ideas into a design project. Using the research gathered in part A of the Research-Led Project you will create an appropriate project brief for yourself to follow.
In the brief I createwwd for myself I identified a problem with landfill sites, this problem was that so much recycled plastic was being thrown into them instead of being used in other things. I found that certain plastics could be ground down into pellets then re-heated and moulded into brand new products, as seen above and below from this process I created a fully recycled desk.

Upcycled Lamp CC1 Using the material swatches created by the class as inspiration you must design and make an original product/ piece of furniture/ piece of clothing out of a waste material that could be displayed at the Remarkable Recycling Gala in June.
The copper tubing was placed straight into the wet concrete mix. This formed a stronger bond.
To allow the lamp head to move up and down there are adjustable nuts.
This section of the light is where the bulb and all the electronics are kept. This section will simple click on and off for cleaning.
There is another set of bolts and nuts which allows you to move the lamp bracket up and down.
The designer that inspired my initial idea is Rita Koralevics and her range of Paper UP lamps. These lamps use a concrete and paper composite which makes the finished lamps lighter compared to normal concrete. This is what led me into researching concrete and possible composite ideas.
I found that looking into using copper piping with the concrete would create a very industrial finish to the lamp which is what I aimed to do at the beginning of my design process. There were many different thicknesses of pipe; I eventually decided on using 28mm pipe.
