Project 1- Sheet materials


Rationale



Target market reflected in design


Fantles jewelry holder is designed for social women in the age between 20-35 who are interested in decorating their house with simple but elegant objects. This product is for women who have many accessories that they would like to display. The shape of the jewelry hanger is a tree made from two leaves that are put together. Since the purpose of this jewelry hanger is more focusing on displaying than serving its function, no excessive patterns or engravings are done as the jewelry itself will become the leaves and the flowers. The organic shape and feminine patterns reflect my target market.




Function


Placing this product adds decoration to the room by displaying the special jewelries they like in a fashionable way as well as serving its simple function of purely keeping the jewelries together. Hanging the jewelries in the circle pattern is very easy to use with no sharp or pointy edges.




Material properties in design


The special material properties of acrylic add positive functional and aesthetical aspects to the design. The stiffness and the hardness of acrylic allows it to be kept simple, by having only two pieces that can be slot in together to create one piece of design that can stand on its own. Transparent and shiny properties of acrylic are also considered, by laser cutting circles on the surface creates a patterns as well as having a function to hang earrings and necklaces. Elegant line engraving also lightens up the design.
