The Baroque - a chair design

Today I finally decided to publish one of my chair designs, since I feel that it should not just sit around in my drawers and rot in the middle of dust and pencil leftovers.


I made this design as a study of environmental friendly furniture. I wanted to creat an alternative to all of these plastic white outdoors chairs, since I think they are filling the earth with wrong values. 

The Baroque is made of wood composites and therefore can be 100% recycled. Other very good point about the design is the cost that makes the chair very affordable. Estimated materials cost for the composite is around 3€ and the chair is fully mass manufacturable.

But see for yourself:

Any comments and improvements more than welcome. Thanks!

Portable cooking and "the hand stick" (:D)

I recently took a course on New Product development. There we had to do the basic assignments, such as brand segmentation and analyze "our new product" with tools like quality function deployment and KANO model. Thank to the team members for a nice teamwork!

Our team created a portable cooker and I had the privilege to design the thing. I created just a concept sketch around the features and other details, leaving the styling for a later time. However, the side product, an illustration assistant was the hand-stick... a hand that one could perform all hazardous things with.. :D (the hand originally from Mikael´s illustration)
