The following project was done for Industrial Design Studio I. The task was to create a product aimed at a specific subculture based on a randomly assigned music genre. I was given the genre of Grunge Rock.
Above are iconic images from the Grunge movement in Seattle. One of the biggest elements I wanted to capture with my design was the energy and movement seen in this pictures. Also, I wanted to emphasize the typical band structure of three members: a guitarist, a bass player, and a drummer.
Above are two study models done to help understand the form grunge might take. Notice that both models emphasize fracturing or breaking of some type while still including 3 pieces.
Above are iteration sketches attempting to determine the shape of the coffee machine I would be creating.
The final product render.
