RC BAIT BOAT

Traditional RC bait boats present a significant challenge to modern fishermen due to their bulky dimensions. This limitation often restricts their use, particularly for those who rely on public transport or cycling. The aim of this project was to develop an innovative solution that removes these barriers, offering full functionality in a compact and easily portable package.
The core of this concept is its foldable catamaran design, achieved through a split-body structure combined with inflatable hulls that ensure exceptional stability on the water while remaining lightweight. By integrating front and rear orientation lights, the boat remains highly visible during night sessions, providing a seamless blend of portability and professional performance.

BOTTLE OPENER

In response to the growing trend of glass-bottled beverages, I designed an innovative bottle opener. The design features a clean, elliptical
body complemented by an integrated wooden disc that enhances ergonomics while serving as a unique interactive element. This disc moves freely within the frame, functioning as a subtle anti-stress tool that encourages engagement not only during use.
By combining the cold precision of the metal body with the natural warmth of the oak wood, the object becomes more than a tool it is a functional accessory.
The final form emphasizes a minimalist aesthetic while ensuring that the simple act of opening a bottle becomes a sensory experience.
