I found my first concept designs recently and thought I’d share. These show you where I started and you can compare them to where I am now. ❤️
I drafted these up in the hope my basic representation would be enough to show people what I had in mind. I wandered around the Auckland Plant Market and Plant Fest and asked people if they'd mind giving me an opinion. I learnt so much.
It took a long time to get from these initial designs to a final drawing. I wanted the form to be more organic. I wanted the monstera leaf to replicate a jungle silhouette. I loved biophilic design and really wanted to bring the outdoors in.
It was important to me that the 'feel' was right.
Design was just the start. Then I needed to learn about manufacture. What I wanted it made from, would the design work, what protection it needed etc. That's another story. Stay tuned!
