Final Project: stash.

Brief

Design a product that relieves the sense of anxiety when leaving personal belongings within a coffee shop environment. The design must turn the act of stealing into an obvious task and must be installed with ease into a coffee shop interior.

 

Tech. Spec. + Justifications

  1. must be easily installed into a coffee shop interior.

– clear, simple, instructions are provided to walk the customer through the steps of installation.

 

2. must securely protect personal belongings.

stash. puts personal belongings within the line of sight of everyone within the coffee shop, therefore, allowing the coffee shop community to more easily spot potential thieves. 

 

3. must alert the presence of a thief.

– the exaggerated bodily movement of using stash. draws the eye of the communal security of the coffee shop.

 

4. must be constructed using durable, hard-wearing materials.

High Grade Steel, Galvanised Steel, Stainless Steel and heavy duty hemp rope create the product. These are all materials that have industrialtrustworthy, reliable characteristics and are specified to surpass the needs of the specification. 

 

5. must hold the weight of an average, over-weight male person.

– all parts exist on the UK market and are specified to hold 100KG or over, meaning that they are strong enough to meet the requirements. 

 

  • should be installed above coffee shop tables.
  • should secure the most common personal belongings comfortably.
  • should be cost effective.

 

 

The Solution

stash. is a packaged pulley system made up of existing parts that allows users within coffee shops to hoist their bags to a height in which they feel most appropriate. Therefore, creating an obvious stash. within line of sight of the coffee shop community. This makes the community the security. Consequently, relieving the sense of anxiety when leaving personal belongings unattended within the coffee shop.

 

stash. – the final product.
