Concept Ideation

During the ideation stages, many different styles of European design were used to create a variety of concepts. Over a couple of weeks, these were narrowed down through feedback tests, mockups and ergonomic feasibility. 

 

Refinements were done to merge the design of the wireless charger with long term functionality. Aspects like the charging port placement, ease of assembly and long term durability were all considered. The 3d model was eventually rendered in keyshot and shown to potential buyers
