Designing a product is an enjoyable experience; this is what I try to give the consumer with my products. Allowing the consumer the means to interact with their product, I am giving them the ability to be a part of the design process.

‘PLYABOWL’: Is a rubber bowl that can be moulded by the consumer to create his or hers own unique product. By being able to change the structure allows the consumer to predict the function of the product. Using rubber allows a wide choice of colours for the consumer to pick from. Rubber also has a sensual touch that just wants to make you play.

‘CLUNK’: Is a colourful magnetic storage system. All the parts are separate modular units allowing the consumer to arrange the system for his or hers own space and function. The boxes are powder-coated steel and each leg has strong powerful magnets on either end that can hold around 30kg each. Therefore it doesn’t have to be put on the floor, it can be hung from ceilings or walls. There is also a ‘Mini Clunk’ that is a desk unit with the magnets that are attached to the boxes, these can also be part of the main unit.
