The final design for this project is a multipurpose desk top holder. The product is constructed with sheet aluminium and is folded into its final form without the use of any fasteners. Positioned on the desk top of a home office, this product is used for a number of different functions; holding letters, bills awaiting payment, notes, memos, cards and photographs. The product encompasses a highly angular aesthetic form both when in use and when not in use.
Uniquely formed through folding sheet aluminium, this product is novel, enhances the ‘state of the art’ design and shows awareness of other designs and their place in material culture. The final product is constructed using .5mm sheet aluminium. Through the use of powder coating, the product has been given an up market, office quality which allows the product to fit in with its surrounding environment while also creating a focal point within the environment.
The desk top holder is available in a range of different colours all of which are finished with a powder coated surface. The product is constructed using .5mm light weight aluminium and is thus, more cost effective than using a thicker material and easier to manufacture, saving on labour costs. Although .5 mm material has been used, the shape of the holder strengthens the material and the uniquely designed shaped feet ensure the product does not tip over while under a standard load.
This product encompasses a range of different qualities including, ease of use and safety. As the design of the product is very angular, the sharp points have all been rounded to a 1mm radius to ensure the product is safe to use and does not scratch the surface which it is placed on.
Overall this unique desk top holder meets the project brief and has a range of different innovative qualities. Through the use of bending and folding sheet aluminium a highly aesthetic and functional product has been produced.
