3rd Diploma Review Meeting: 11/10/11 ; 45 mins
Those Present:
Kriti, Meena, Jyothsna, John
Work Shared:
- Samples of moulded and stretched leather.
- Prototype of trolley in wood and leatherite.
- Experiments to decide the optimal temperature and method at which leather is moulded and stretched.
- Answer to question ‘why leather’: leather cladding prevents termites and warping and stains from water spills. It also fits the vintage look.
- Sketches of Moulded pocket and moulded wine rack ( Approved) Medium: AutoCad and Sketchup
- Rough Costing
- Blog Content and Flow ( Documentation)
Feedback: From Meena and Jyothsna
- Use a thermometer to find the optimal temperature at which the leather stretches.
- Have a railing around the middle shelf to make the surface more usable.
- Have a good balance between the leather and the wood so that it looks visually cohesive and aesthetically pleasing
- Pocket at the back is good.
- Consider what the cost of the product is and how you have worked to make the product cost effective.
- Mention how you have developed on the properties of the material in the course of your project, how you have experimented with it and what you have learnt.
- There’s still a fair amount of work to do. So far you have kept to timelines well and produced good work – continue to do so.
- Keep up the good documentation work.
Meeting with John : 30 mins
- Adding a slider tray to keep the small items, just a 1.5 inch height tray, NOT a drawer.
- Decided what wood ( type and thickness) appropriate and polish to use.
- Autocad ok
- Try extending the handle to fit ergonomics.
- Try using araldite to harden leather, or use thin sheet metal embedded in two skins to create stiffness.
- Explorations are yours and are good, do the pocket and the wine rack as explorations and then test and see if they speak in the same design language.
Next Stage
- Final prototyping
- Finishing
- Costing
