Trans_former Lamp
2020
This toy design brief required me to design within the parameters of the Transformers licence, designing for gender inclusivity and for an adult user group. I responded to these by creating a toy that is able to integrate within an adult users’ everyday life, expressing gender as a spectrum through form while still having a form that is conducive to the licence. I did this as toys that are designed for adults often remain in their packaging and aren’t interacted with through physical play.
Throughout this process I used:
- Drawing
- Physical prototyping
- CAD
- Rendering
- Digital fabrication
