For this project I was tasked to create a set of three kitchen utensils for one of these brands: Alessi, Casa Bugatti or Smeg . I chose to design utensils for Smeg and below is the design process I took to come out with my final 3 Smeg kitchen utensils.
Above are exploration sketches for my utensil designs, brainstorming ideas of what a Smeg utensil would look like.
