The Winner of Our 1-Hour Design Challenge Is....
Who Judges this stuff? Seems like they may need to back to design school....Not very encouraging to get people to participate if you can just make something up that will not work and WIN!
No reason the product wouldn't work. I think you just misinterpreted what they meant by “Push in center.” It's two pieces (the metal cutting board with an X opening and the cone that sits below it), not a board that turns into the mixing bowl.
The concept is titled '3-in-1'. Its not two pieces.
This idea may work if the interior was an offset or almost offset of the exterior shape. I am wondering what happens when the silicone portion gets hot. Will it lose its rigidity and not hold its collapsed form?
Hey all!
I thank you all for your input, and present to you, a very crude model!
So yes, you're right, the sketch does not translate into real life very well, but the sketch was primarily to communicate concept.
With more time I hope to turn this into a fully realized product. For now all I can respond with is this model. My next steps will be to make it full size, and testing with cut acrylic and silicone.
As it's been pointed out by other commenters in this thread the "3-in-1" object wouldn't really work.
Even if the connecting material in the X was flexible, the triangular flaps themselves change dimensions when the board becomes a pyramid.
