BreifFor this project you need to STOP and THINK about the waste items that you arethrowing away and challenge the value and potential of waste – both as a rawmaterial and a design tool. No longer can you consider rubbish as worthless, buta rich resource of unexplored opportunity. Using materials considered as wasteyou must design and make an original product/ piece of furniture/ piece oflighting.

Sketch work

Initial sketches based off of using a regularplastic card and how to make that into an enjoyable creative game for children.

Computer aided design

Rendering of final idea and how the concept of the construction would work, Showing thetransition between the card state and theconstruction toy.

Final Desig

n

BreifTo design a product that embraces emerging technology, the way that we interactwith these products and lead our live’s. This product must be aestheticallydesirable for the market. You must choose a brand to design for, therefore theproduct must re�ect your chosen brand.

Sketch work

Initial sketches inspired by Jeffery west shoe design,Rock and roll icons and general reprobates.Designed to be an experience not just a product.

Final Desig

n

BreifTo redesign mass produced furniture to reduce material usage anduse more eco-friendly materials whilst maintaining structural integrity by using engineering techniques

This is research made into different engineering techniquesapplicable to the design brief these were all used in the design process to increase strength and give great aesthetics.
