Free form headphones for ICat Free form challenge competition 2012. Design removing technical limitations.
inteference - An image from idea sketching selected as cover art for this portfolio. The image shows two ripples in a fluid medium creating constructive interference where the waves cross.
sketches Free form challenge - Cords, weaves and interference patterns used to form headphone components.
developed sketches - Initial sketch ideas developed and combined prior to 3D modelling.
experimental modelling for Free Form Challenge - A selection of models produced superimposing sinusoidal functions onto spheres and ellipsoids.
experimental modelling - A selection of models exploring cord based structures in a solid modelling environment. The models are intended to form parts of a set of headphones.
final design - A single clockwise wound cord forms the chassis of the headphones.
Colour selection options are shown on the right.
