THE

CREATORHi, I’m Levik Hartouniyan, a 23 year old industrial designer from Sundsvall, Sweden. I’ve always been interested in the latest trends and especially products with good design. In 2011 I followed my dreams and began studying industrial design because I want to be a part of something that matters in most of our everyday lives.

On my spare time I enjoy being outdoors, ride my mountain-bikes (enduro and cross-country), bmx, fixed gear bicycles, and when it’s snowing I spend my time on my snowboard at the local slopes.

WATCH

OUTLINEConcept

The OUTLINE is watch where the minute hand follows the watch case silhouette. Since the silhouette isnt round the minute hand extends and retracts which gives the watch a unique look every minute for the user to admire.

By having a unique feature I wanted to keep the wristwatch simple which ment I using traditional materials for the case, using a mechanical movement, and having a very simple design. To break off from the traditional watchmaking I used a one piece rubber strap for simplicity and touch of street fashion

Background

I’ve always wanted to design a watch ever since I got interested in wristwatches but been to afraid since it’s almost a sacred thing to design. I wanted to create something that I felt was unique, but it quickly ended up looking like a typical wristwatch so I put the project on hold for two years. Two years later I picked up the project and started designing the watch, not from the center, but from the “outline”.

Page 5: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

INSPIRATION

My inspiration for the watch came from seeing how cranes operate, how the arm can extend and retract to work on a square shaped structure.The estethics of the watch inspired by a German brand called NOMOS with their Bauhaus-like design. With the “less is more” concept you can appreciate the shape and function of the watch.

IDEATION

My main focus with my sketches was that the sil-houette of the watch-case must have pretty extreme shapes to fully utilize the design concept to it’s limits.I chose the trapezoid because of it’s extreme shape and that it has a good shape for better legibility.

GLASSES

SAILConcept

The SAIL sunglasses is my interpretation of Sailboats and one of it’s most iconic shapes, the porthole. With this being a type of form study I pretty much went all out on making a pair of over-the-top glasses with no regards to fit or comfort, only focusing on aesthetics and creating more of an an art-piece rather than something you can wear.

I incorporated objects and materials you can encounter on and off a sailboat that is often associated with the “Marine lifestyle”.

Background

I’ve always been interested in sailboats, marine fashion, tools, accessories, the so called “Marine lifestyle”. I’ve unfortunately never had a chance to experience that lifestyle. Hence this project, where I wanted to create something I could relate to that lifestyle I’ve never had. It became sort of a form study where I wanted to take a lifestyle and turn it into an object, an accessory.

As I started doing research on sailors and sailboats I noticed that on most of the pictures the sailors had sports sunglasses. You know, those types you almost get embarrassed of wearing outside of physical activities. So I decided on designing a pair of sunglasses that for me represented the “Marine lifestyle”

INSPIRATION

This is what sailing is all about for me; Boat shoes, certain materials, the iconic porthole, weather, the deep blue sea, fashion and just enjoying life. So my inspiration was more about the lifestyle and icons instead of raw sailboats.

IDEATION

New creative process

I wanted to try something different with my approach on this project, instead of sitting and sketching all day long I wanted to test my skills by pretty much designing “on the go” with only one try.

I went for the porthole as a base and from there i took objects and crated a pair of glasses in photoshop. A very (read: extremely) rough sketch made with pretty much the marquee and cut tool.

Objects: Porthole, rope, railing, mast

RESEARCH PROJECT

PRECISIONConcept

Presicion by LE.EV.NI is a screwdriver handle that we designed from the results of exstensive user tests. The handle is a combination of our two most successful handle shapes which resulted in a triangular profile for heavy duty work and an egg-shaped core for tasks that require precision.

Background

This was a school-project I did together with Eveline Törngren and Niklas Öhrberg where we got the task to create a Screwdriver handle. This project was crated for us to learn how to do market analyses, user tests, create test models, and manufacture a working prototype.

Page 19: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

MARKET ANALYSIS

These are the most common handle-types on the market today (handles with bit sets were excluded in the analysis).

Page 20: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

IDEATION

Here you can see a selection of different types of handles we sketched, everything from your typical screwdriver grip to extreme shapes and functions.

Page 21: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

IDEATION - MODELS

From sketch to model

From our sketches we had to make four different test models for our user test, either we could take a single sketch and make them into a model or we could combine different handles to come up with a new design. We decided to go with three common styles and one with an unusual function and look.

These are the models we created.*

1. Egg - The egg is self-explanatory, an egg-shaped handle2. Triangular - We took the common shape and cutted it into

a triangular shape for extra grip3. T - A special handle for both heavy duty work and delicate work.4. Blob - A larger handle, no special function or shape.

USER TEST

Users

Because this project was only a simulation we chose only to have five users in our test and instead focus on a larger test with more stages. Our users were chosen based on their experience with screwdrivers, or rather how often they use it.

Test

For the test we constructed a testbench with multiple scenarios you could encounter while tightening a screw. On each stage we had two different styles of tightening; Power-grip and precision-grip, in those two scenarios we realized that you hold the screwdriver differently from eachother.

USER TEST - USERS

Page 24: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

USER TEST - TEST 1

The first test is to fighten a screw which is be-hind a hole with poor visibility. The upper pic-ture is how the users hold the handle for precision work and the bottom one is their “power-grip”. On the left you see which handle is being tested and up top you see which user it is.

Page 25: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

The second test is to tighten a scew which is close to the table. The white box means that the task could either not be done or that the user did was not able to complete the task.

USER TEST - TEST 2

Page 26: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

The third test is to tighten a scew in a small space with poor visibility. Only two out of five could complete the task of tightening the scew with the T-handle.

USER TEST - TEST 3

Page 27: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

The fourth test is to tighten a scew with good visibility but behind an object. Here we can see that the users could not complete the task of tightening the screw.

USER TEST - TEST 4

Page 28: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

The fifth and seventh test was to tighten two screws for a shelf, the test was done above head height which meant for the users that they had to tighten the screw blindly, as we had repeatedly seen the T-handle has problems completing the tasks.

USER TEST - TEST 5, 6

Page 29: Industrial design Portfolio 2015 Q2 - Levik Hartouniyan

Here we tested how well you can hang the screw-drivers when you are not going to use them, this is more common in a workshop rather than your average users way to store the screwdriver.

USER TEST - TEST 7

USER TEST - RESULT

Test results

The test results showed that each handle had both it’s strengths and weaknesses.

• Egg: Good shape, good for precision work but not for tough screws.

• Triangle: Good for tough screws but the shape hurts your palm.

• T: Good grip for heavy duty work but the shape is very situa-tional

• Blob: Too big, the size does not give it any benefits, hard to grip.

Winner(s)

From the results we noticed that the Egg and Triangle were the favourites so we decided to take the best from both worlds and create a combination. The handle would have the size and shape of the Egg but with the trangular edges for a better grip.

This became our final design where we made it rounder and made it into two different parts; The inner core is for precision work and the rubber shell is for tough screws. This became also our final colour theme.

Here we see Eveline tightening a screw on a keyboard, We see her using all the different types of grip-styles, going from the precision-grip to power-grip for really tightening the screw.

BACHELORS THESIS

VAINSOUNDConcept

VainSound Concept One is a headphone which represents the company’s roots from the 80’s underground DJ-scene but in an up-to-date style. The headphones are inspired by one of the most iconic equipments DJ’s use; The turntable.

Background

Around the time we were going to begin our bachelors thesis I discovered a new hobby; Headphones! I’ve always loved music but never really understood the difference between good and bad sound until I tried my first pro-level headphones which blew my mind and since that day I became a headphone-freak.

As I started searching for a company that wanted to collaborate with me I found a Swedish brand called VainSound that caught my eye. After a week we decided to collaborate for my thesis and create a headphone concept.
