The Final Design!

Here is the final concept range presented to the client, The first concept release is for a pencil/pen holder, a photo frame and an envelope holder.

 

The initial concepts

here are the three initial concepts presented to the client. Any feedback is appreciated!

Alessi concept development

So just thought i’d post up the concept development thus far. I’m not entirely happy with the concepts i’ve narrowed it down to, so there’s a good chance i might develop a different idea at this point in time.

Alessi

The next brief for submission is to design a product to be marketed and sold by Alessi.

Below is the proposed design brief:

 

Alberto Alessi aims to design and produce new unique desktop objects to be launched to the global market in 2011. The new product range includes pencils, bookmarkers, paper knives, desk organizers, photo frames, document trays, bookstands, envelope holders, pencil holders, paper baskets, pencil sharpeners, magnetic paper and clip holders. Alessi states that design must be able to move people, to convey feelings, to trigger memories, to surprise, to go against the grain. Alessi expects socially and culturally sound designs will be developed for this new range to make people a bit happier. You need to design 3 different products selected out of the new product range mentioned above. It is crucial that to create a unique desktop set by establishing a poetical connection between them.

 

Constraints: emotional design/recyclable materials/global market

Hari

Presenting Hari, a modular floating-shelf system that allows the user to create their own shelf layout that can be adapted and changed at any time. Featuring a unique T track system for mounting to any surface, it allows anchor points to be placed at any position along the shape. Inspired by Naoto Fukasawa’s design philosophy, and sourcing it’s colour scheme from the InfoBar 2 mobile telephone, this is the the first design submitted for Enmore Design Centre’s Product Design and Innovation Course.

 

All comments and feedback welcome.

 

Many thanks,

Dave Wheeler
