Issey Miyake Watering Can Project
The main purpose of this assignment is the exploration of visual aesthetics in the form of
a watering can while providing the standard functionality of the product category. While researching and analyzing existing watering cans to establish a thorough understanding of the
market, I would then select an established brand (not necessarily one that sells watering can
already) that I will be designing for.

Brand Research
Analysis of brands form language, with a focus on compression vs. decompression on the wearers body
Sketches, sketch models and design process
Final Model
Final design is a form that looks both 3-dimensional and flat inspired by the material technology of Issey Miyake's signature pleats. And how when on a surface the forms are completely flat, but when the user then wears Issey Miyake pleats, the article of clothing is completely transformed into a 3-dimensional form.
