Gothic Clock: Free formgiving exercise
Relevant Keywords:
Goth lifestyle, wall clock, free form-giving exercise, clay modeling
Design Goal:
As part of a free design exercise at the TU Delft we were asked to research a specific lifestyle (goths in my case) and to design a daily use product that would fit the form language of the given lifestyle.
Project duration:
75 hours
Methods Used:
- Interviews
- Sketching
- Clay modeling
THE PROJECT:
The project started with a quick internet research and a small scale field study in the form of interviews with local people who identified themselves with the goth lifestyle.
I decided to design a wall clock and used the results of the research as inspiration during the sketching phase in which I experimented with both 2D and 3D sketching through drawings and clay modeling.
Final Design
The final design was made into a 1:1 scale clay mock-up of the final geometry of the wall clock. It is to be noted that the exercise was not meant to deliver a product ready for production but merely as an experiment in free form-giving.
