Goal:

to design a toaster that expresses its interaction, purpose and functionality through its formal language and features.

Overview:

this project was achieved through sketching ideas, 3D modeling with SolidWorks, and rendering in Keyshot.

Time Frame:

2 weeks

01. Initial research

To begin, I learned about the history of the toaster and how a conventional toaster works. It was interesting to learn about the toaster from the inside out, allowing me to make rational decisions in the later process of designing.

                                    

02. Form Exploration

I first explored various interactions between the toaster and the bread, and decided on to create a toaster that is safe to users who feels fear by the toaster's heat and electricity.

I decided to design a toaster that eliminates the need of contacting the bread after it is being toasted.
