Product Design Mood Board
For the product design board I used a variety of different inspirations. I started by looking at companies that use recycled materials to get an idea of how someone could use waste to create a whole new product. I was surprised with how new the products looked, it didn’t look like it came from rubbish. I also investigated nature inspired products; focused on products mainly for in the home.
While doing my research I found a company called Bleu Nature. They had many different collections of products but I was inspired by the collections that were made from drift wood. I liked how the original shape and texture of the wood was kept; things were added to the wood to create the product not the wood being changed to fit the product idea. From pictures I took at Tentsmuir I was able to make something that followed that idea.
If I was to continue developing this idea the next stage would be to consider the materials; types of wood available. I would also be thinking of safety (manufacturing, joining, finishes) as the product is used around a baby. Scale would also be a large factor as I would need enough wood to create the product. What would be better – lots of small overlapping pieces or less larger pieces? What would be easier to obtain?
