OUR ENTRY:

Description

"KIMONOPHONES"

We thought that the best way to tap into the youth and their choice is by designing something that is used by all of them. Earphones are used all around the world. Thus, by designing earphones inspired by the Kimono, we aimed at spreading the Kimono Culture throughout the world. Image, all the Japanese youth wearing the Kimonophones - trendy yet rooted in tradition!

The Prize

We were first shortlisted amongst top 100, which gave us an opportunity to display our Kimono design panel as a part of the KimonoExhibition in the Tokyo Designers Week (28th October 2014).

Later, we were awarded the "Toshiyuki Inoko Award" for the Kimono Exhibition, meaning a special booth to display our work among the others global presenters in Tokyo Designers Week.

Most unfortunately, we couldn't make it to Japan, but here' s the coverage of the event!

And our panel also was seen in the video! :)

My Pre-Graduation Product Design Show

As a part of our curriculum, students of MIT-ID have to display all their work of 8 semesters to a panel of Product Design Faculty members for evaluation. This year, the 2010-2015 batch did it as an exhibition. This is my panel for the same:

F8: The Pre-Graduation Show

When in 4th year, all students of MIT-Institute of Design have to show all their work of all four years, which will be presented to a team of faculty members. This year, for our batch, we decided to go a step further and do it as an exhibition.

It was 32 of us, spread over 6 days.

We did the branding, space and souvenirs for the same.

Next we had a team working on souvenirs for all those who would come to see the exhibition:

Pencils with the F8 flag for everyone!

And finally, the space:

Colloquium Paper

Form Kinematics: "Protagon"

Form Kinematics: "Protagon"

Protagon is a kinematic art piece done for the course 'Form Kinematics' which concentrates on movement of forms and it's implications on aesthetics. The principle of this art piece is "Geometry" and "Hinges"

I made this model, along with Maxime Cosson from ESAD, Orleans, France.

Here is a video of the same:
