About
I am a designer driven by the gratification of problem solving. I enjoy the exploration of CMF and detail design, striving to find sustainable solutions that meet both user needs and maintain aesthetic value. Through this, I enjoy the evaluation of colour and material samples to allow me to adopt a practical approach towards decision making.
Fast-homeware is a current issue accelerating the popularity of unsustainable, trend-driven products. The relationship between product and consumer is lost due to the commercialisation of homeware, heightening the ‘throw-away’ culture. Twine is a foot stool that aims to target these issues, designed to encourage playful interaction between product and consumer. Adopting playful assembly, the frame fits together like a puzzle using rope to hold the parts in place. A sense of achievement is then stimulated once assembled, improving the consumers desire to keep the stool for longer. As trends evolve, both the rope and cushion cover can be replaced with new colours and patterns, allowing the product to stay relevant, whilst maintaining the initial frame.
