DESIGN CASE WAArMAKErS, THE NETHErlANDS 81
After initial exploratory sketches, we made digital sketches of various concepts, using a technical drawing as an underlay. This way, the viewpoint, size and level of detailing for the various sketches could easily be kept similar. In our first presentation, the concept presentation, we had to convince the team of our more thorough design approach. We showed 4 concepts: the Sandwich, our favourite and most extreme in its shape, communicating the innovative material used for the monocoque frame; the Torpedo, which
has a more exciting and defined shape; and two ‘safe’ options: the panda X and the Barbapapa, both quite close to the original starting point, but highly adaptable to changes. We received an oK on the Sandwich and the Torpedo, and after a follow-up feasibility study, we chose to further develop the Torpedo design. NOTE: In the concept presentation initial sketches were shown, as well as reference images concerning style and production methods.
