CONCEPT IDEATION
Exploring form was crucial in establishing Dyson’s design language. In the initial phase (1.0), the focus was on refining the form, leading to the selection of the final design aesthetic.
Multi-purpose lighting
Tube light is removable with a charging base
FINAL CONCEPT ITERATION
During the 2.0 ideation phase, I retained the original form while incorporating technology features into the sketches. I also researched how these additions could address potential issues in the garage.
Final Direction
Multiple light tubes for household
Pods needed to be bigger
