A memory display.
With trends moving towards a sharing economy, people tend to own fewer items. Considering which items people still own, we were tasked to design an item that can be used to display items and used as a functional piece of decor. Step was a team project with April Seekumar, in collaboration with Umbra.
Inspired by Umbra's 5 brand values; modern, original, casual, affordable and functional and their current line of existing products. Focusing on the concept of display and considering the manufacturing methods that Umbra uses.
After ideation on many different forms, and exploring with sketch models, we tested multiple 3D printed models created in Solidworks to experiment with sizes and spacing.
Textured extruded aluminum easily holds photos and other special memories to display. Friction fit into a resin base eliminates the need for any adhesive and efficient packaging.
