  • Twister Shelf Concept
    2011 spring

  • BeckerContest 2011 Moulded wood competition entry.*

    This competition was our concept design course task. I started off working with some shapes that would be interesting and functional as a product. I ended up with a shape I liked, after which I started looking for a proper function. I usually work the other way around, but this time the shape ended up giving the product it's function, which is rather pretty but not overly useful. 

    Shelf, storage space and hanger concept for consumer use.

    Product tries to resolve the problem of disorganization, whenever someone is leaving the house / apartment / flat. It is a centralized place for keeping essential things everyone needs when going out, such as mobile phone, wallet, keys  and coat. Additionally, it can beused as a storage space for less commonly used items, such as handbags, scarves, neckties, gloves, hats, etc.

    The design’s main point, from the manufacturing viewpoint, is the twisting shape. It is a single module, using mirrored module as well, made out of moulded wood. The design is partly inspired by an organic leaf shape. Modules main measurements are 283mm (long) by 89mm (wide) by 70mm (high).

    The concept has a mounting on a matte aluminium sheet, though as a consumer product it might not be a viable solution.
