Idea generation, exploration and decision

First of all, the three of us separately started thinking about some ideas. We didn't go much into the details of each idea because in this first phase, quantity was more important than quality. The first batch of ideas were very diverse and are listed below. Some ideas were also illustrated with some basic sketches and even a prototype.

- step + umbrella













- coat hanger + umbrella















- bike + shopping kart












- wheel barrel + garden chair
















- swing + hammock















- bottle opener + bottle cooler











- cupboard + coat hanger/stand












- cupboard + table / chair













- suitcase + desk













- multifunctional kitchen utensil











- chair + bookcase












- candle holder + paper holder












- chair + laundry rack
















- side tabel + basket



















- bookmark + bookend







To make a first selection, every team member wrote down which was his/her favorite idea of each team member and him/herself. It was pretty clear that the side table in combination with the basket was our favourite. We then proceeded by exploring this idea. Every team member drew some concept sketches on how this combination could be realized. Some of these sketches are shown below.











With the different ideas of the table, we commented and discussed every idea and how the different aspects of the assignment could be implemented in the design. In the end, we chose a final concept.
This concept is shown below.


As a preparation to next week, we all will evaluate different materials and production methods to use for the chosen concept.
