Project Duration: 4 days
Design Brief: Design a functional artwork (whether it be a small object or a wearable item) that reflects your own culture from your country of origin. You may take a historical approach.

The main truths of the Heliocentric Theory were embodied into a watch design. It depicts Nicolaus Copernicus discovery on the existence of orbits and the emerging conclusion where the Earth revolves around the Sun (Center of the Universe) not the other way round.

Highlights of the design process based on a film semiotics (The Avatar). Focusing the visual research specifically on extraction of the essence of lighting, textures, colour and shapes. Each was studied separately to later reunite into the final design.

Point Of Sale design for Kesslers International. The swimming equipment stand was designed with an attention to the most fundamental manufacturing details. The project consists of well thought Bill Of Materials (BOM), series of Engineering Drawings and fully working virtual prototype rendered in SolidWorks. 

Deepening the understanding of 'accessibility' and 'disassembly' in the context of a motorcycle build. The process had its initiation in a form of user interviews and exploration of the existing products. Evaluation of the findings has lead to making often abstract early stage models. With the aid of hand sketches & CAD modelling, the information gathered on above themes was narrowed down into a final design.
The internal components contained in the spherical shell made of two halves (one slightly smaller). These halves slide into each other to reveal the content. Easily accessible and equipped with LED lighting hence increased visibility at any conditions. The solution facilitates servicing and technical inspections, specifically at out of garage environment.
