Brief: create and develop a new design concept for an existing (or not yet existing) domestic electrical care product
We were expected to create two concepts initially, eliminating one to continue.
The first one, Cozy, involves a form factor of L, which utilizes portability, makes ease of conduction in long runs, which raises an issue due to massive exhausting arising from weight of hair dryer. The strait located in waist adds a feminine view, also improves handling and solving cabling issue. To unuse, cable could be wrapped to the waist, and wool-made cover is used to support `cozy` feel. Suggestions for body color are pastel pink and yellow. The purpose of this design was, mainly, raising the hair dryer to a level that is adoptable by user.
Architonic, the second, the form is changed therewith different material use. It was thought that wood and metal could be a valuable material pair, targeting high-level market, comprised with first class people. Supported by technical and architectural signatures, a user-binded that makes him valuable, an `exclusive` product could be developed. The cable issue could be resolved in same way vacuum cleaners do.
I decided to use materials bamboo and aluminum to nourish hair with ions it needs unlike plastic hair dryers that electrifies hair. Lightweight aluminum, used in cooling systems, and eco-friendly bamboo, as strong as mild steel, were the finest materials I need. The handle and the ring at the back of the body, drilled little holes providing air circulation whilst it is put on the table, are made of bamboo. The body and the buttons, slide mechanisms used to make user comfortable, are made of aluminum. The information graphics on the buttons are exact Celsius and Wattage values that Architonic running at the moment. I learnt the solution I offer for the cables is feasible, after making some research.
