Appearance model
Appearance model
Defining the Industrial design intent was challenging with the CAD tools available in 1996, in fact - trying to define a complex 3D form in 2D would be considered a folly today.
Yet, by creating many cross sections for the modelmaking drawings, we defined the form to create the appearance model for evaluation by BT management.

Client: BT consumer products
Project: Concept home facsimilie machine
Design team: Symon Whitehorn, Richard Arnott
Consultancy: Fitch, London [1996]
Our design featured a stylus driven user interface, which was intended to make even the most complex functionality, intuitive and simple for people.
The form development was driven by the need to differentiate the product from the aesthetic and form factor commonly seen in office facsimilies and was influenced by contemporary automotive styling, using soft curves and sharp creases to contrast and define the intersections of the form.
