GLTi Consumer Product
This project was in association with GLTi (Green Living Technology Industry). The challenge was to create a consumer based product that incorporates the GLTi mission. My idea was to find a solution to incorporating vegetation into an urban home. The final concept is a set of acrylic stools and bench which have two levels where plants can be grown.
This solo project required design research, company research, market research, materials and process research, hand sketching, digital sketching, SolidWorks modeling and rendering, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop editing.
All materials original work of Elizabeth Schwartz with exception of photography in the first of three final presentation boards.
