red squirrell

so we’re seven weeks into the (not so) new semester of uni now, and the last week or two has been a haze of stress of hand-ins… somehow i’ve managed to pull through and get it all done! 

our first studio project for this semester was to design kitchen appliances with a common house style across the class. cucina, the mid-priced range, was focused on mixing hard sweeping lines across the product, with more organic, softer focus areas. our material choices were brushed stainless steel and a soft-touch, rubberised black plastic, with clear orange interfaces. 

I’m actually pretty happy with how i went on this one. we had to model the appliances and their interior components using solidworks, which for me is no easy task. so after a week of sleep deprivation and endless hours in the computer lab, i’m kind of proud of how well it managed to come out! it was definitely a learning curve on group work, house style, mass customisation and most definitely compromise, but i really enjoyed working in an environment more similar to the workplace.
