Design Concepts

Design Concept: Imagination + Design

Please follow the below discussion over design concepts thought out and sketched by me.
These are part of imagination and I try to follow Dieter Rams brilliant principles for good design while designing these concepts!
All these designs are sketched using my fingers, thinking and iPad.

#1. Foot Assist

On a recent morning, I came across a differently-able person in a busy market. He was thin and was using the walking aid which you could see in the first picture below. He was unable to life it and was panting while he was trying to walk. I guess this was due to the heavy walking aid. which seemed an aid no more. This person had to lift it up and then rest again for each step which he moved forward! Seeing this ugly "aid", I decided to redesign it as per my thoughts and thinking. I weighed the pros. and cons and came up with a design which is fabulous in terms of weight, safety and miniaturization. The design also has a surprise tool in-built into it. This is a STOOL which the person could use to sit when he/ she is tired. Please have a look at the detailed design and pour in your comments/ suggestions starting with #1 in the below discussion.

#2. Designer's hold

Designer's hold could be referred as a product for those who DO! It's a 360 degree rotatable drawing table-cum-sheet holder and comes with a hidden stool for you! The sketches below should be self-explanatory. Please have a look at them and pour in your comments (using #2) on it!

#3. Asymmetric Briefcase (Briefcase/Table/Chair)

Some people are so passionate about traveling that they don't get tired at all while pursuing their passion. But, most people get really tired of standing at bus stops, railway stations and airports in middle of their journey. This is often seen in populous places like most of India; where people don't find any place to sit and relax their legs. Focusing on this problem, I have come up with the following design of a briefcase-cum-table/chair which could just solve this problem! Please comment over the suitability of it and suggest edits(using #3)!

#4. Truly Apple!

I recently went through a post on TechCrunch which referred to the unrealistic but fascinating concept videos of iPhone Air and iPhone 6 C (Curve) by Set Solution and came by the thought of why Apple never made something which shaped like an Apple!
So, I developed a concept design of a wireless bluetooth speaker which is of the shape of an Apple (Made by Apple Inc.). Don't know if it would be made or not, but atleast I quenched my thirst for designing something on the theme of Apple. Check out the Image below and give your comments (#4)!

Edit: Version 2: Please have a look at 3D CAD Model below. I have added the neccesary buttons on the speaker with toggle buttons. The speakers could be sold under Product (RED) category.
