First Crack Brain Storm
We had a bit of a brain storm to come up with some products which could be developed to translate the ideals that we have discovered about the DIY style.
We have decided that it would be quite possible to have a product which represents another aspect of NZ culture at the same time as representing the DIY/ resourceful aesthetic.
From the previous research (as per the presentation) we concluded the key factors to communicate this cultural phenomena are:
Simple
Clean
*minimal materials
evidence of assembly
*customisable
*self assembly
connection beteween maker and object
(* = most important features)
Categories and examples of some ideas are as follows:
Festive - xmas tree, party games
Picnic/ Beach - beach trundler, wine glasses, shelter, chair
Sports - Underwater viewer, volley ball net
Gardening - garden sculpture, platform, mini green house
Fashion - corrugated iron cap, ratchet belt
Household item - hand saw steak knife, nail box stool/chair, cairn calender
Camping - surface, dish washer, screen, wind diverter, ply cool box
