Hi, I'm Ethan Archer, and I'm passionate about creating thoughtful, user-centered solutions that balance form, function, and sustainability. With a strong foundation in design principles, 3D modeling, and prototyping, I explore how everyday products can enhance well-being and foster meaningful interactions. During my time at University I have collaborated on live briefs with industry partners and I'm keen to pursue a career in design consultancy or product innovation.
Glovox ProGlove -Prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome
Introducing the Glovox ProGlove: a high-performance protective work glove engineered to aid in the prevention of carpal tunnel syndrome while offering unmatched durability and protection for demanding industrial and construction environments.
Designed with ergonomics and safety in mind, the glove features impact resistant pads on the fingers, thumb and knuckles, shielding vulnerable joints from repeated knocks and strain. The crinkled latex coating on the back ensures a high grip surface, even in wet or oily conditions, whilst also acting as a vibration dampener reducing the stress on nerves and tendons during tool use.
To minimize palm strain, the glove includes a dual layered protection from EVA foam padding,
topped with durable synthetic leather. This not only protects against external impact but helps
reduce internal strain during prolonged tool handling. To support the wrist, a reinforced synthetic leather layer lines the inner wrist of the glove, restricting
hyperextension and promoting proper wrist posture. Completing the glove is a stretchable spandex strap, providing a snug, secure fit that keeps the glove in place during use without compromising
comfort or flexibility.
The Arcadia
The Arcadia - a thoughtfully designed mood lamp that blends natural materials,
elegant form, and functional lighting to support a healthy circadian rhythm in your bedroom.
The Arcadia has a triangular solid oak base with a smooth matte finish, offering warmth and stability with a distinctly natural aesthetic. The triangular base houses the warm LED strip light with
an oval frosted glass shade sitting in the centre that softly diffuses light, creating a calming glow
ideal for winding down in the evening or gently waking up in the morning.
The Arcadia features an integrated dimmer switch, allowing you to easily adjust the brightness to
suit your mood or time of day: promoting better sleep and reducing harsh lighting before bed. A
brass dimmer knob adds a refined touch, enhancing the lamp's minimalist and organic style.
Perfect for nightstands, The Arcadia is more than just a lamp - it's a wellness-focused lighting
companion that encourages relaxation, mindfulness, and a better connection with your body's natural rhythm.
