orangepeeler

orange peeler concept.  i also developed a works like model for this so it would actually work. i have a video showing it can peel an orange. target market was children and the elderly as the task of peeling an orange requires a fair bit of dexterity. however upon development i realized it also keeps the users hands free of sticky orange juice so many people may want to use it.


concept exploration

form exploration


final form and possible manufacturing bellow 




features
- large grip for children and elderly makes it easier to grasp
- "no cut" blade cannot cut the user and also does not damage the orange
- minimalist yet elegant form


functional model only... just demonstrates the design of the no cut blade
actual form is in purple drawings above

once again all ideas posted on this blog belong to me
