Giftware A to Z
Class collaboration with Kikkerland and The Container Store to create objects that solve given three problem sets.
Cord Management: Create products that would solve tangles of cords in home or office environments.
Healthy Lifestyle: Create efficient container that solves issue of food storage and take around meals.
"Celebrity" Effect: Create cosmetic organizational product to solve increased purchase of cosmetics among users.
Objective: Create organizational items to solve any of above problems categories.
Step I: Research
Collected environment of common user's situations with given 3 problem sets. Found out most of users have organization issues that had to be addressed.
Divided into groups to research Kikkerland and The Container Store. Researched The Container Store's Office and Closet categories to find out about types of product it carried and price ranges.
Sketch Set I: Several iterations of one idea on same page. Tried to create as much ideas as possible to have most options.
Sketch Set II: Gave products more specific characteristics, added with clearer drawings and functions.
Step II: Initial Sketches
Went through several stages of sketching. Sketchings of objects vary from kitchenware to cosmetic containers. Started from initial stage where I created 10+ skectchings, then slowly narrowed down to 3 items.
Step III: Prototypes
Made paper, cardboard, and foam prototypes to explore right form for cosmetic container. Worked mostly for modular shapes to figure out which connection was most efficient way to be produced.
Step IV: Final Result
What is Hexagon Container?
It was created for cosmetic products. It comes with an adjustable metal hanger which should be hung on the door. It is to utilize unused space. There are 3 different types of Hexagon Container, each meant to be used for different types of cosmetic products. For example, flat opening is for cylindrical products like lip stick or lip gloss. Hexagon container doesn't have to be hung on the walls; they can also be set on table.
