Nature Disconnect (Product)

This was the board I enjoyed creating the most, and reinforced my decision to do product design as opposed to the other disciplines. I had lots of ideas which I found exciting and wanted to explore.

One of my first ideas was creating a flower out of old cans. People are constantly giving people flowers as gifts, but they don’t last long and I personally feel like its a bit of a waste. There is however, a constant supply of rubbish, so I thought about creating flowers out of old cans. I then experimented with other art you could create using things found in nature. I used charcoal to draw with and used pieces of bark as canvases.

I also had the idea of a tire seat. It would be a tire of a tractor, with a seat made of plastic bottles within it. This would be left at different forests and people would take them, and push them about with them, and when they got tired, they’d stop and sit and just appreciate nature.

My final, and favourite idea was inspired by Dominic Wilcox. It was a ring which you attached to a perfect skimming stone, with string. This allows for the perfect skimming stone to be reused multiple times.
