CHARGING STATION


UX
-
2020


THIS PHONE CHARGING STATION IS A MODULAR PRODUCT THAT ALLOWS FLEXIBILITY FOR ITS USER.


IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE DESIGN CHALLENGE, A IN SITU STUDY WAS MADE ON A POOL OF PARTICIPANTS TO SEE WHAT WAS THE END-TO-END JOURNEY WHEN COMING HOME AND NEEDING TO CHARGE YOUR DEVICES.


RESULT IS FLEXIBILITY.










WHEN PLUGGED, THE PRODUCT ACTS AS A LAMP AND A WIRELESS CHANGER. THE TRAY BECOMES A PORTABLE CHARGING STATION, EQUIPPED WITH ITS OWN BATTERY. THIS ALLOWS THE TRAY TO LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE HOME AND CAN ALSO ACT AS PURE DECORATION. THE DETACHABLE LED HALO CAN ALSO ACT AS A FLASHLIGHT.


THE APPLICATION BUILDS AND EXPANDS THE MODULARITY OF THE OBJECT. IT CONTROLS LIGHT TEMPERATURE AND INTENSITY, BUT ALSO COMMUNICATES STATUSES OF BATTERIES (TRAY BATTERY, HALO LIGHT BATTERY, PHONE CHARGING STATUS, ETC) WHILE KEEPING THE OVERALL DESIGN LANGUAGE GRAPHICALLY.

PHILOSOPHY



“TO DESIGN IS TO DEVISE COURSES OF ACTION, AIMED AT CHANGING EXISTING SITUATIONS, INTO PREFERRED ONES”, A QUOTE BY HERBERT SIMON.


I TRULY BELIEVE THAT BY COMPOSING A COURSE OF ACTION THAT IS MORE NATURAL, YOU ARE ABLE TO CREATE A MORE FUNCTIONAL AND BEAUTIFUL DESIGN. IN EFFECT, FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION AND FUNCTION FOLLOWS USER.


UX / UI

FOCUS ON THE END-TO-END JOURNEY BETWEEN USER AND EVERYDAY PRODUCTS. COMBINING ASPECTS OF PSYCHOLOGY, MARKET RESEARCH, DESIGN, AND TECHNOLOGY, TO CREATE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, SUCH AS WEBSITES, APPS.
3D

FROM 3D MODELING TO 3D PRINTING, BRING A CONCEPT AND A IDEATION TO LIFE BY TESTING IT OUT IN THE REAL WORLD.


ID

CLASSICALLY TRAINED IN INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, THE GOAL IS TO FOCUS ON THE METHODOLOGY AND THE WHYS RATHER THAN JUMP INTO AN END SOLUTION AND PRODUCT.
