The intention of this project is to design a portable houseware product for a specific group of users in the bedroom through insights from interviews and moodboards. Concepts will be explored through sketching and prototyping and final design will be built as a functional and appearance model.
Middle-class couples were interviewed about challenges and inconveniences in their households. These were the greatest takeaways from the bedroom…
“Fewer doodads and clutter would be nice.”
“There are too many charging cords.”
“I wish I didn't have to put everything in the drawer to have a clean nightstand. I want to be able to quickly grab what I need.”
How might we improve lounging in the bedroom for young middle-class couples in their new home?
