Process

Prototype with Paper and Tape

With inspiration from masters of sculpture, furniture, installation art, and digital art, initial shapes were architecturally build with Bristol board strips and tape. This exploration adds and subtracts tape to mold to the alcoves of the body while creating organic forms.
Build 3D Model and Render Digitally

Translating the initial physical prototypes into 3D models using Rhino and rendering desired metal finish in Keyshot.
Iterate through 3D Printing

3D printing iterations and the continuing to go back and re-edit the corresponding 3D model after each print trial to prefect the curves and alcoves. The process finalizes the shapes physically and the 3D model digitally.

The DODO

The DODO bag is molded to and hugs the hand with a built in card slot, mirror, and a compartment that fits keys, airpods, and other loose items.

The HAHA

The HAHA bag is molded to the thigh’s curve, resting stilly on top as one sits. The upper construction has a build in slot for the hand to grasp. Opening upwards like a makeup case, the compartment inside has generous space for storage.

The TUTU

The TUTU bag is also molded to the hand and invites the human desire to hold and grasp something to feel safe and comforted. This style has two hidden pockets that can hold airpods, keys, and small loose items.

The LALA

The LALA bag droops around the arm and is meant to be held close to the body. With deep hidden compartments, the bag can also be worn as a double sided bucket bag, the side closer to the body for valuable items, and the side further away from the body for less valuable items
