As per the brief, we were instructed to design a set of three utensils for a particular brand. The brand I was given is the Italian Kitchenware manufacturers, Casa Bugatti. The design had to fit within the brands existing style and carry elements of originality.

DEVELOPMENT:
Taking the chosen final concepts and making mock-up models out of high density foam. This is a messy and long process, but helps translate the sketched ideas into reality. This gives a better understanding of ergonomics by allowing me to experience size and feel. I can now make improvements on the chosen concepts.
MOCK-UP MODELS
PROCESS
After some experimentation was done to see which finishing method works best, I decided to cover the foam with two coats of wood filler, sand it down and hand paint it as that seemed the best way forward. Applying aluminium foil with an adhesive was difficult to avoid creases and painting with no filler had a very porous surface finish.
