BA Product Design
Hannah Ince
Due to my upbringing on the Caribbean Island of Barbados, my design inspiration stems from the vibrant colours, bold aesthetics and the unique culture that filled my childhood. I have studied design for many years and believe it's important for designers to benefit our world through sustainability, inclusivity and originality.
Moda
Moda embodies the essence of simplicity and elegance through its innovative design crafted from just three interlocking planks of wood. By incorporating a clever slotting mechanism, assembly becomes an intuitive and frustration-free process, eliminating the need for complicated instructions and tools. This reduction in assembly challenges ensures that users can effortlessly enjoy their chair without the hassle of complex setup. Beyond its functional benefits, Moda's minimalist design speaks volumes about modern aesthetics. The clean lines and geometric precision of the wooden planks create a striking visual appeal, resembling the principles of minimalism and simplicity. Each plank contributes to the overall structural integrity while maintaining a strong and balanced form, exemplifying the beauty found in simplicity.Moda serves as a symbol of understated elegance and thoughtful design. Its seamless integration of form and function makes it not only a practical seating solution but also a piece of artistry.
The Nova Light
The Nova Light was designed with coastal textures as its inspiration. Its incorporation of the overlapping ripple effect (subtly mirrored on the base) replicates its connection to nature and tranquility, making it not just a functional lighting source but also a piece of art that brings a sense of calm and serenity to its surroundings.
The portability of the Nova Light makes it versatile, suitable for both indoor and outdoor usage. Nova?s sustainable consideration reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility with the choice of materials and finishes, not only contributing to its natural and organic aesthetic but also aligning with sustainability goals.
