Project Description | 2013
Design of Power Bank
The design concept of this power bank is to provide users a gentle interface between objects with a high quality textile or wood. The Cap-ring mobile stand provides just the right lift and angles when used to face-time or watch videos.
The power bank is wrapped in high quality PU leather with different patterns – jean or walnut wood – which provides a premium feel. Its compact design allows for easy portability and handling wherever you go.
ROUGH PROTOTYPING + BRAINSTORMING +
MATERIAL RESEARCH
This power bank has an integrated phone stand with multi-viewing angles, fitting with current social life and perfect for any occasion. Natural material were applied in order to apply premium textures and a comforting feel. the proportions and sizes were designed to fit the on-the-go style users.
IDEATION + PROTOTYPING
In order to get a pristine feel, we tried experimenting with different textiles. It became very challenging to bring textiles and plastic parts together seamlessly, because they all have different tolerance, tensile strength, stress-strain. Due to the limited space, the retractable structure of the embedded phone stand also need a lot of efforts and prototyping to make it work smoothly
