My team was awarded the first place prize for this competition, the winning prize was a cheque of £1000 to be split between the six of us. The brief of this competition was to produce a kitchen utensil which could help aid one handed people whilst cooking. For this project I worked alongside 5 other product and interior designers in which we had 24 hours to have our final design ready to upload.

 

The competition organisers requested we include hand drawn sketches, renders, technical drawings and even make a basic model of the final product. All work would then be compiled into a video clip lasting no longer than 5 minutes, which was then submitted to the clients.

​

The design included a cheese grater and peeler on one side and a mixing bowl on the other side. The suction pads underneath the product would keep it immobile whilst in use. Drawers were located on the side of the product to allow users to retrieve the shredded cheese or left over peals. All components could be removed from the main product and the mixing bowl could also be removed by twisting it anti-clockwise by one full rotation, which made all parts easy to clean. 

​

We made the product as light as possible and also kept the centre of gravity in the middle to allow the product to be carried easily using one handed.
