Love the prototyping! And the use of copper and acrylic together. I think it'll make for a beautiful product that I'd be very happy to buy. Curious about the pricing :) I imagine that you use rexine to offset the cost of copper?
Dunno if you know Design Jatra. Friends of mine came up with these stationery holders made out of bamboo, made by tribals in Maharashtra. All funds from the sales go to the development of their village. Depending on the size and shape they cost anything between 250-600 INR .
Your prototype reminds me of this but seems to be more specifically targeted towards watercolour artists. Wondering if that's a limitation. In any case, it's beautiful and exciting and I hope the jury liked it :)
It cost me around Rs. 2000 to get this one done actually, but it's also because it is a single product and I understood the other combinations of material which could possibly reduce the costing. I used rexine for the look and feel of it actually :)
It was a great learning experience, nevertheless. The jury also had some really valuable insights for me for further development.
I must say these stationery holders look amazing! And reasonable pricing too! Also, I love the fact that the funds are being used for a greater good. Cheers to that :)
Oh nice. Do you prefer rexine over leather? That's a first! Would love to see this project going further and seeing your products on shelves.
Yeah I do actually. I like to avoid using leather.
Thanks a ton! Means a lot :)
