CEDIM - Innovation I

Major Project - Cardboard Furniture

2009-11-24T16:07:00.000-08:00

Design Brief -
1. You will be designing, testing, and prototyping cardboard furniture.
2. It should be designed to be KNOCK-DOWN, foldable or reassemblable without any tools or additional parts.
3. Explore a wide range of concepts and solutions using the techniques we will develop in this course. You can use drawings, and scale models
to test your ideas.
4. Target your design for a specific function and use-scenario. The more specific the better. Illustrate the use-cycle with drawings, photos or
cartoons.
5. The final prototype must be fully functional. (ie. if a chair, you can sit on it, if a shelf, can take a normal weight).
6. Create presentation materials in addition to working prototype to highlight the design, innovation and business opportunities of the
product.
