Design a family of table top felt products and add onto an exisiting eco-friendly collection. We had to produce 3 of each product to be distributed to shows around the world.

Yama Envelope Holder
Background
Yama was originally designed by Caren Kwan and Tommy Prewitt and was the basis for the felt collection. We were asked to redesign Yama and add a few more products to the felt collection. We had to use the same materials throughout all of the products to keep a consistency so that everything would relate to create a family of products.

Cuzi Cup Holder
Materials Rubber O-Ring
1/5’” Thick Eco Felt
1/4”Thick Birch Dowels Cork Sheet
0.25” Birch Sheet
We chose to go with 1/5” eco felt to keep the the design sustainable. The felt is held down by 1/4” birch dowels which have laser cut notches so that rubber o-rings can slip over to lock the felt into place. The Cuzi is the only product with cork veneer to absorb water. The center taper design can fit a wide range of cups.
60 tommyduong18@gmail.com 408.636.3779
Kami Corner Organizer
Process
All of the felt and wood pieces were laser cut to create a burnt edge detail. Kami has a very unique design in that the main wood pieces have laser cut perforations so that the wood can be bent. The birch dowels were also laser cut to keep the same relations throughout the product. This was done by creating a jig to hold the wooden dowels in place while it was being laser cut.

Product Selection
As an active student I carry around two different liquid containers, a water bottle and coffee mug. They both have one thing in common, carry liquids. This gave me an idea to create a modular liquid vessel.
