This concept-design was done as a final year project of the BA-Hns in Design cursed in Elisava Design School [95-99]

It is a PDA for kitchen environments and it aims to help the user in all the food related activities like: refrigerator inventory, shopping lists, recipes, health & nutrition…

Done in 1999, it supposed a new approach on introducing electronic devices into the kitchen domain.
The shape and volume is designed for an easy and instant usage, access to information and charging processes.

A carton company gathered a group of 10 designers and asked them (I was among them) to generate some ideas for their new product: an extremely strong carton with high resistance.

This concept is a handle for public transport (subway, bus, tram)

Due to the quality of the carton, the handles resist successfully the weight of an adult.
As it is made in carton is highly customizable in colors and shapes.
Ad campaigns would support the cost of the system.
As it is cardboard, part of the handle could be a cuppon or discount and it would be pre-cutted, so users can take it away easily.

Prospective conceptual project on UMTS chellphones.

The project was done back in 1998 in collaboration with Nokia when I was studying at UIAH (Finland).

The project was 80% research and 20% design.
This design is intended to serve the needs of the urban turist by being connected to local networks of content that deliver specific information relevant to the context of the user.
The phone is thought to be a touris tool, that could be borrowed by tourist departments and telecomunication companies.

Note that this project was done in 1998, and it served as lab for exploring the future of UMTS/3G when screens were black on green and of course without camera or mp3….
