Problem
Solve a personal issue using the design process. Final deliverables being a prototype and poster explaining design process.
Process
I started by defining my issue: what is the best solution to both organize my desk and create a work studio that promotes productivity? From there, I started researching the solutions that already existed. I decided that my ideal solution would be made out of high quality materials and fit in a minimalistic setting. I then started to play with different forms and take proper measurements based on my needs. I finally decided on a form and then created a full size prototype.
Solution
The Studio Desk is a personalized solution that helps me to both organize my gear and promote productivity. The desk itself is made of hard maple wood and uses perfect measurements for all my gear. The design is minimalistic and fits perfectly with my aesthetic.
Moodboard
These images are what inspired the look and feel of the studio desk. Taking different elements from each and combining them to create a personal piece.
Ideation
The next step of my process always involves some paper and a pen. For me, the best way to get all my ideas out is to doodle in some basic forms and Ideas.
Constrution
Once my final concept was decided, it was time to move over to the woodshop and make the life size desk.
Final Concept
Here is the final concept visualized how I would like it to be seen.
