BÄRVÄNCreating a better shopping experience
‘Bärvän’ / bærvæn / Swedish for a friend who
helps you carry.
Group project together with Anja Messerli
Small wheels make it hard to move around in the city with today’s shopping trollies.
In the store there is a lot of action required to move around the groceries.
Current problem of regular shopping trolleys
SKETCHES Throughout the project a lot of sketches have been made to visualize the ideas. To get a clear understanding of the shape and function of the design.
By dividing the bag into three compartments the groceries will become protected when the bag changes position. And by separating the groceries in the different compartments the weight in the bag also gets more equally divided and thus making it easier do flip the bag to its trolley position.
Mock-ups and ideation
The mechanical aspects of the Bärvän is rather simple. The bag compartment is resting on a lever and the back of the bag is connected to the two back legs, yet still has the ability to move. This make it possible for the bag to move from a horizontal to a vertical position and vice versa.
Earlier ideas about a moving handle and an extra leg to help the bag stand were first initiated, whoever these functions proved to be pointless and were thus never constructed in the end model.
Multiple compartments
Folding mechanism
Light & handy
Final Model Making
To give a more realistic image of what a real prototype would look like a working model in scale one to one were constructed.
Included in the building of the final model were, welding, 3D printing, sewing, painting, as well a couple other techniques.
Final model making
Unpack the groceries onto the conveyor belt.
PROBLEM
Taking the trolley to the store.
1While at the store; putting away the trolley and fill the cart with groceries.

Finally pack the shopping trolley. The movement required by the consumer puts a lot of strain on the users back.

SOLUTION
Taking the Bärvän to the store.
While at the store, flip Bärvän into its shopping position and pack it with groceries.
By using a self-scanner at the store the consumer never has to take out the groceries, thus making the shopping experience easier.
While at the checkout aisle, the consumer never has to take out the groceries.
Finally flip Bärvän back to its transport position by pushing the lower foot bar. The consumer can then easily take it home.

The shopping position is used while shopping in the store and Bärvän is then used as a regular shopping cart. The shopping position is also useful while unloading the groceries into the
fridge so that the user won’t have to bend down and reach for the food, hence minimizing the
strain on the users back.
To change the position of the bag the user simple push the foot bar on the trolley and
Bärvän then naturally collapses. Thanks to the weight of the bag and because the bag is only resting on a lever, folding the bag requires very
little energy from the user.

MIDDLE POSITION
The weight of the bag compartment makes the bag fall in place naturally and the user don’t
have to push very far for the bag to change from a horizontal to a vertical position. When the bag falls in place a ball-spring lock, locks the trolley
in its position. Making it easier to transport.
TRANSPORT POSITION
A ball-spring lock, locks the cart in
position.
The final product is made out of a solid, yet lightweight aluminium frame that is powder painted white. The bag is made out of a water resistant and sturdy polyester.
FINAL PRODUCT
The big wheels make it easier to transport Bärvän in the city. Inside the bag there are three compartments separated by two plastic plates. Making it possible for the user to divide the groceries. The walls, made out of a hard plastic, are also removable in case the user wants to transport something bigger.
Project 3
LUMINAIREDirect and shattered light in one
The Luminaire was designed for a flexible lifestyle. The different settings make it easy to use both for focused work as well as for more relaxing times. The Luminaire
uses only three small LEDs making it very energy efficient and also more eco-friendly.
SKETCHESSketches and doodles were a big part of the project from the early start until finished product. The sketches have helped define the idea and to communicate the meaning and essence of the luminaire.
Sketch Models For every idea a full sized model was constructed to understand the light scatter and to get a feel of function and size of the desk lamp.MODELS

DIRECT LIGHT
FINAL
PRODUCT
The luminaire has two different settings. Thus enabling the user to use the lamp in different situations. The direct light setting is when the lamp is on the top position on the metal post and the luminaire lights up a wider area. The direct light is better for more focused activities, such as reading,
sketching and much more.
SHATTERED To change the different settings the user simply has to move the lamp
on the metal post. By turning the screw on the back of the lamp, moving it to its desired position and then turning the screw back to
lock the lamp. The shattered light gives out a much more diffuse and soft light. Shattered light is better for more relaxed activities such as
watching a movie or to just get a more calm feeling in the room.
Working together with Hilti to design a better transport system for their tools on the construction site. Hilti is a power tools company famous for high-quality
products and their iconic red colour. Hilti previously had a soft bag made out of polyester, but had problems to get their consumers to use it. When visiting different
construction sites it showed that most construction workers used a wheelbarrow to move their tools. Thus
the project came to the conclusion that Hilti’s transport system needed to be bigger and more robust.
THE TOOL CART
SKETCHESFor every sketch the design got a little bit more defined, finally resulting in an idea that seemed to work the best. The
idea was later further developed through more sharp sketches and then through
mock-up models.
The top compartment is for smaller tools. Basically anything the user need at the moment.
The lower compartment is for bigger tools and anything that doesn’t fit in the small compartment. Shovels, concrete drills, etcetera.
Throughout the project a lot of, size one to one, models were constructed to see if the different ideas actually worked.
Models The idea was to build a transportable
workstation. That can easily move around on the construction site and also stand still on one place, thus working as
a mobile tool terminal.
With all the compartments open the tool cart is used as a mobile
workstation with lighter tools in the top and heavier tools in the lower
compartment.
MOBILE WORKSTATIONBy folding the top and bottom plate
down the compartments collapse and the Tool Cart can then be used as
a regular hand truck.

By folding the top and bottom plate down the compartments collapse
and the Tool Cart can then be used as a regular hand truck.
By folding up all the metal plates the Tool Cart gets profoundly
reduced in size and thus making it easier to transport, to and from the construction site. As well as storing
the Tool Cart.
HAND TRUCK TRANSPORTATION
The frame is made out of a solid and robust iron to endure the harsh environment of a construction site. The black walls are made out
of tarpaulin to make it easy to fold the compartments, as well as to maximize the size of each compartment. Tarpaulin is a durable, water
resistant plastic fabric used a lot in the construction business. The thick rubber wheels makes it easy to move around the Tool Cart on the construction site and the rubber grips makes it easy to control.
The metal plates are movable through a metal pipe and a metal rod, creating a simple hinge system.
