Ilu
Water bottle . Lamp . Flashlight
Design Brief
The goal of the class was to design a product for outdoor activities. Starting with form exploration the idea of combining a water bottle and a flashlight came along. Having in mind that one of the biggest issue camping is weight and space, how could we reduce the number of objects we need when we go for an outdoor activity?
ilu is a water-bottle that can also be used as a flashlight and a lamp when you go camping.
Avoid carrying three things when you go camping you can just take one, ilu.
Form Exploration - Sketches
Using material scraps, the task was come out with an object that has any type movements. By combining them, cutting them and putting them together different objects came along helping us explore our creativity.
Sketches
mock-up
Using existing materials such as water bottle, LED and a dot light, it allowed me to discover the functionality of the product and its lighting mechanism.
Prototype
Once the lighting sources was figured, the main goal for the prototype was to focus on the aesthetics side of the product.
