Looks like a simple product, right?
But there’s a specific use behind it.
Can you tell what it is?
#productdesign #industrialdesign #3drender #blender3d #designprocess KNIFE BLOCK
We’ve gotten used to knife blocks that rely on blind insertion and enclosed storage. You reach in, place the knife, and move on. It works, but that interaction has always been slightly off.
This design focuses on opening that up;
Knives are fully visible during selection,
Placement is guided instead of left to guesswork,
And the structure is more open, reducing moisture buildup over time.
Material decisions also support that intent;
Wood provides structure and warmth,
Glass improves visibility while acting as a barrier,
And a soft internal lining protects the blade edge.
Nothing here is added for the sake of it. everything is there to support use.
#3dproductdesign #productvisualization #blender3d #3d #Knife Knife Block
This project started by questioning a small but overlooked moment when selecting a knife. HUSH
Hush is a bedside object designed to replace phone use at night
The problem is specific:
People wake briefly and reach for their phones to check the time or confirm their alarm; this introduces light and information that increase alertness and make it harder to return to sleep
The design focuses on reducing this interaction to its minimum form, the display uses e-ink to eliminate blue light and reduce visual stimulation
A large top button provides immediate access to reassurance and allows the user to snooze or check the time without needing visual precision
A textured knob is used for alarm setup and adjustments during the day, ensuring a secure grip and clear tactile feedback
At night,
One press reveals the time
The light is low and diffused
The display fades automatically
The device returns to a dormant state
The user does not need to read, decide, or navigate
The product is designed to function within a half-awake mental state
