Aquaflex Hydration Pack
I noticed during the London 2012 Olympics that the delivery system for hydration to
the swimmers in the long distance swimming races was hap-hazard, and not as efficient as it should be for an elite sport. So I looked in to how to stay hydrated when in the water and
Aquaflex is the resulting concept.

Ideation
The key feature of the pack is the flexing of the two solid parts, making it ideal for the movement of swimmers and for sports activities. The hydration bladders are designed to be solid for the use of lifejackets, so the water is not squeezed out of the compartments when it is not needed.

Prototype Model
“Chicago” Headphones
1950’s Blues Inspired Headphones
I designed the headphones with inspiration from 1950’s Chicago blues. The intended outcome was a highly finished, full scale aesthetic model, due to the complex geometry of the design I explored Rapid prototyping methods.

The final model was finished in white pearl and the internal layer was dyed producing a contrasting matte and pearl finish and texture.

Brief
For the first stage of this project (currently running) 3 different concepts were generated and developed for review and the best of these con-cepts would be further developed in to a fully defined folding chair. I wanted to create something that was functional and provided a practical solution, but also visually captivating.
The Door Hanging Chairs In many homes doors become lost space in a room, so what I tried to do with this concept is maximise the space in a room by using the door as a storage space for 4 chairs.
Divan-Stead Concept
Inspired by timeless wingback chairs, this concept adds a twist to the classic with the use of adjustable wings; ideal for storage and night time comfort. The inclusion of shelving and LED reading lights provide additional functionality, as well as ample storage in the side and end drawers.
.06
This design was a response to our second year design week competition brief given by Sealy UK to design a bed which incorporates the style and functionality of a bed-stead with the construction of a divan bed.
