this team project focuses on Designing a low tech version of an every day object to simplify a task even further.
Swift
Taking the hassle out of cleaning up your mess with a large, clunky, and heavy vacuum. This low tech version of a handheld vacuum eliminates the need for power and keeps the small messes small.
PRODUCT INSPIRATIONS
Looking for traits that work in current models of handheld vacuums to carry through this design process.
USER ANALYSIS
Keeping in mind this very busy and environmentally conscious mother who needs quick and convenience when cleaning up is the focus of this design.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
We compiled images that spoke to the home or environment that is similar to the one Swift would be used in. With feelings on minimalism, tidiness, natural, clean, sustainable, warm, and inviting.

RENDER PROGRESSIONS
Our render progressions moved from a much boxier form to something more rounded, smooth, and sleek. The nozzle is much more angled to reach the smaller crumbs. The pull handle also became more rounded to be more comfortable in the hand.
