WINE RACK FURNITURE DESIGN
Material Exploration of Acrylic
My Role
Product Designer
Responsibilities
Marketing Research, Prototyping, 3D modeling, Rendering, Product producer
OVERVIEW
Problem
On the market, the majority of acrylic products are focused on various materials mixed with acrylic; the original qualities of the acrylic material itself are not well underscored.
Opportunity
Tools
Adobe Creative Suite / Rhino / Keyshot / CNC
I want to use the design of repeatedly arrangement, superimposing and color overlap to better reflect the properties of acrylic.

Research OF MATERIAL
Rich Color
01
The color of this material has various possibilities and is finer than that of other materials. Color richness plays a significant role in its appeal.
Impact Resistance
Acrylic sheets (Plexiglas) are up to 17 times more impact resistant than ordinary glass, depending on the specific preparation. Moreover, Plexiglas breaks into relatively flat pieces compared to glass.
Weather Resistance
Acrylic plastic is highly resistant to variations in temperature and humidity, making it useful in outdoor applications.
Transparency
Acrylic is highly transparent, allowing 92% of light to pass through. Hence, it is as transparent as the finest optical glass.

Ideation
Considering the stability of the wine rack and characteristic of acrylic, such as the repeated and geometric arrangement on the sketch, the design of the acrylic wine rack can be a better way of expression
