Copperleaf
Concept and engineering collaboration. This project was designed to capture the experience and sound of autumn leaves rustling in the breeze.
Concept Development Study
Developing products based on human experience and need within specific human contexts (e.g., seasons, holidays, occasions). Exploring associations between physical/sensory, emotional, spiritual, cultural, temporal, etc. aspects of our existence for unique product experience solutions and the stories they tell about who we are and want to be.
Round 1 — Verbal Autumn word association brainstorm
Round 3 — Additional story and visual concept development. Decided on specific inspiration to develop project ideas from.
Round 2 — Theme development, concept clustering, initial visual inspiration. Stories identified for additional exploration.
The underlying Autumn experience direction decided on was capturing the sound of wind-blown leaves, which developed into the Copperleaf mobile.
