Industrial Design Project

Under the guidance of Alex Tatic, owner of Tatic Design Studio, this project develops a cohesive design language tailored to a specific brand and user base. The resulting Yoshimura Family is a trio of cordless camping products, a portable kettle, lamp speaker, and fan-heater, designed for the mountaineering brand Sea to Summit.

 

The design language of Yoshimura is influenced by the spatial and folding art of origami, using interconnected hexagonal forms that result in three products with structural stability and enhanced portability. The development combined iterative sketching to optimise collapsibility for hiking enthusiasts and snow trekkers, with Grasshopper and Fusion for parametric architecture, and KeyShot for rendering.

On long expeditions, mountaineers carry 15 to 20 kilograms of gear, where up to 60% of pack volume is made up from non-collapsible equipment.
