Rationale

The product I have designed is a letter opener aimed for an office environment. Through it’s sleek and shiny polished aluminum look this product represents a piece of art. It is nice to feel, therapeutic and relaxing to use and beautiful to look at as well as practicality. This letter opener is luxury at your hands enhanced though the organic shape and polished aluminum shine.

This letter opener takes an organic form which was inspired by the many different organic forms within nature. After researching many letter openers and seeing the typical shape they all took I decided to change that shape giving it an organic curvature. With a sharp point and perfect curve this product provides comfort and ease when used. The perfectly curved handle allows the product to be held in several different ways depending on what the user find more comfortable. The letter opener is designed bulky from the handle, allowing it to fall perfectly into your hands, and narrows down toward the end giving it a sharp and smooth tip.

Aside from practicality these features allow the letter opener to become a sculpture at your desk adding an element of beauty and luxury.  This letter opener takes an organic form which was inspired by the many different organic forms within nature. After researching many letter openers and seeing the typical shape they all took I decided to change that shape giving it an organic curvature. This enhances the beauty and creates a product pleasurable to look at, adding a more enjoyable and classical dimension to everyday jobs.
