Mini Cherished X Tamiya X Fitch

Mini Cherished was a design competition for a work placement at Fitch (www.fitch.com). The brief was a one week race to find a pair brand to go with Mini and design an exhibition space. Minis are often used as kit cars so I decided to design a joint exhibition with Tamiya the remote control car maker. These two brands have similarities in their fun and exiting approach and their reputation for quality. The exhibition space features a Tamiya race track and revolving platforms and displays connected by cogs spanning the room. The idea was that the visitors feel that they are inside a machine. The exhibition focuses on the history of the two companies as well as pointing out the benefits and possibilities of second hand Minis. Ideally the visitor walks away understanding the variety of customisations that can be made.

Fashion Museum x Formica (Construction Detail)

During University we were required to produce construction detail drawings for all our work, for me this was an exciting part of design but posting all the drawings would likely bore you so I've selected two of ten from the Formica Fashion Museum project. The original post can be found here;

and concept models here;

Flower Pug

Another postcard competition, the theme this time was flowers however I want to create something more quirky, the idea being that this character is some sort of flower creature. Drawn in illustrator the blades of grass suggest movement or wind blowing through a wild meadow.  

Fashion Museum x Formica (Concept Model)

I found these photos of a concept model I made to determine the shape of the shelves and desk in the Fashion Museum. The concept and presentation boards can be found here.

Moon

This is a book cover competition from last winter. It didn't win top prize but it reached third tier, which I am proud of as 10 thousand applicants entered across Japan. The theme is 'moon'.

Fashion Museum x Formica

For the first post I chose one of my favourite projects during university. I feel now that I look back on the presentation boards, the interior could use a little detailing. The space is a combined coffee/souvenir shop in London's Fashion Museum. As part of the Formica competition the brief required the use of Formica materials, most of witch are plastic and wood veneers. For the shop displays and coffee shop seating Formica in bold colours has been united with coloured glass in asymmetrical angular shapes. The concept was derived from crystalline structures and flamboyant fashions that can be seen in the museums collection.
