PROCESS

RESEARCH:

 

In an exploration of typology, forms, and cultural adhesion, it was vital to address the concept of unnecessary necessities. This exploration began with looking at plastic forks, which evolved into toilets, and finally, tech wearables. In a society filled with the promise of newer and better products, how much change can be invoked from this new?

INITIAL PROTOTYPING:

 

Initial prototyping began with using clay and paper models to understand ergonomics and form.
