SKETCH EXPLORATION - 16
Sketch Modelling Transitioning from sketch exploration into a sketch model in order to explore the situation that the product would be in as well as giving a sense of scale to the product.
01 - Positioning hooks The backboard for the mirror is securely fastened into the wall with Philips screws. This allows each piece of the mirror to then be attached and interchanged.
02 - Corner glass fixture The design allows the highlighted glass section can be interchanged to suit the decorative style of the users environment.
03 - Full glass fixture The remaining highlighted glass section will be used as the primary mirror for the user, ensuring reflections can be seen from head to torso.
Hikari
20
Project Overview Hikari was a three-week personal project where my objective was to research a specific culture and create a product and design language that supported my exploration of the selected culture.
Cultural Exploration
Africa
India
Japan
Product Exploration
I decided to look at Japan and explore many products which embodied japanese culture and it’s deep history - from its origins of craft and wabi sabi, to traditiona values Through my exploration the most profilic product representing the culture for me was the japanese lantern. The lanern demonstrates how symbolic light is in the japanese culture, dating from centuries ago to even now.
Form Direction
Sketch Ideation
Tap to adjust brightness The user can tap once each time to cycle through the level of brightness intensity that tailors to them.
Design Details Using Solidworks I was able to take my 2D sketch and turn it into 3D form but most importantly capture the main details that I wanted to have within the design, following the product form direction I visualised.
