Dear Guys and Gals,

I want you to take a look at products designed by these designers. Please go through all!

Choose 3 products that you like BEST from these designers. The products can come from the same designer or different designers.

Answer these questions when doing a case study of the 3 products;

1. what is the name of the product and who is the designer?

2. What is it used for?

3. What was the source of inspiration for the product?

4. How can you describe the look?

5. What is a technological feature of the product? Briefly explain the structure/mechanism/electronic used.

6. Why do you like the product?

Some keywords for describing products:

easy. ergonomic. intriguing. masculine. feminine. mysterious. subtle. flexible. iconic. luxurious. minimalist. avantgarde. traditional. trendy. cool. handy. sleek. unique. classic. compact. elegant. simple. stylish. user-friendly. timeless. mobile. innovative. funky. modern. chic. warm. vibrant. elegant. fresh. classy. trendy.
