Vacuum Concept for Fiskars

PROJECT: Vacuum Concept for Fiskars
DATE: Fall 2019
TYPE: School

Background

A company with a long and rich history, Fiskars is most famous for their orange handled scissors. The first of its kind to ever to be manufactured with plastic handles, these iconic scissors have went on to sell over 1 billion units.
"All things, even the simplest, can be made better and smarter."

Concept

I started the design phase by creating vacuum shapes out of existing forms. I brought Fiskars products into Photoshop and spliced them together to play around with possible forms.
Solution

The final concept meshes existing Fiskar design elements to create a product that acts as an entry into an entirely new market for the brand. The overall form is defined by its gentle curves. The thin handle transitions into a larger main body which houses the motor and dust bin. Grey and white cover a majority of the surface, with hits of orange reserved for branding and key touchpoints.
