SPEKTRUM CARRY
Scope: Develop a sustainable and multi-functional collection of bags, suitable for urban and mountaineer activities.
01.
Plan & Research
The project process was based on the field guide of Human Centred Design, developed by the design organization IDEO. The process focuses on the three activities Inspiration, Ideation, and Implementation.
The method suggests a great mix of interaction with users, highly abstract design thinking, prototyping, and testing as natural parts of the phases.
02.
Ideation & Sketching
The collected data from the inspiration phase was processed and transformed into ideas and concepts. The stage initiated with creative methods and sessions to create a large space of ideas and solutions. Sketching was an ongoing process throughout the phase to quickly evaluate solutions.
03.
Brand Identity
An important step was to transfer Spektrums form-language and brand identity to the new products. This was a challenge since the current product portfolio at that time only consisted of goggles. Spektrums use of sharp lines was transferred into the metal parts of the backpacks, whilst the clean and minimalistic design cues were transferred to the soft.
04.
Prototyping & Workshops
Several mock-up prototypes were built in an early stage. They consisted of basic materials such as foam or paper to examine form or other properties such as ergonomics and function.
05.
Sustainability
When designing these products, sustainability was of high importance. They are designed to be multifunctional and durable to last longer. The bags are made of 100% recycled weatherproof canvas and all metal parts are recycled aluminum. For every sold bag, one percent of the profit goes to the international organization 1% for the planet.
