A Visually Pleasing Foldable Hair Dryer
I'd like to give you my thoughts on the project, for what they're worth.
I think that focusing on the storage of the appliance is a good idea for smaller appartments and for those who dislike spaceship styled appliances.
There are foldable hardryers in the market but often (if ever?) the cable is not resolved and they are not something you'd like to see on your counter top, so I think in terms of form this is a good idea.
My only doubt would be that, as much as I personally dislike the organic ergonomic style of 90% of hairdryers, and as much as I love the Muji-esque shape of this one I wonder how this flat-section large-headed form factor woud work in use, and would that small hinge respond well to daily use? This is not critical because some products don't aim to be the most ergonomic but the neatest.
The base is lovely, would it be spray painted? I think the weight distribution would make the product very easy to topple.
Finally I'd like to say I really love the sketches, wonderful style complete opposite of the "PRODUCT DESIGNER" wanky sketches you see so often, very architectural, they remind me of Ronan Bouroullec's sketches.
Looks like a great solution for travel!
Great specifications..Looks like one of the most useful and handy gadgets.
