During my time as a Product Design Intern at Bharat Floorings and Tiles, I was assigned the responsibility to introduce a line of new home goods to celebrate 100 years of the brand.
I proposed three products, a multipurpose tray, a deck of playing cards. and stackable festive candles that utilised their existing materials and resources.
I began my exploration by creating a directory of potential products for the brand, as shown below.
Key considerations during this project:
Challenging the familiar: how to redesign home goods to make them fun, efficient, and encourage engagement with family and friends.
Multipurpose Tray
Creating iterations for the form of the tray
Key Considerations: Total of 14 containers for functionality of the game and space to allow for different candle types to fit.
Tray in use
Card Deck
Designing patterns based on the company's iconic tile design and standard colors
Final Packaging and Print
Stackable Candle Set
Creating a collection of stackable candles to create customised arrangements based on user preference
Playful. Modular. Useful.
