product design and technology

Monica Veljanovski

Caravans are known to have small bathrooms and lack storage compartments. The current bathroom storage products are not reliable as they do not attend to the movement of a caravan. The solution to this is to create a product that can be used in the bathroom of a caravan. It also needs to be suitable for caravans as they move around, so the storage needs to consist of grip and attachments. As caravans are not bespoke, the storage products that are being put in them shouldn’t be designer or have a cost of a designer product. Because the product is to be sold at a cheaper price, it will have to be produced in a short amount of time. The main material that will be used is a strong plastic. This means that the product will last a long time, therefore, will not have to be replaced frequently by the end-user.  So this can fit in with the aesthetic of each individual caravan, the storage product must consist of a simple design. Eg: A singular colour would be best. The caravan storage product could be manufactured using a 3D printer. This will allow the product to be mass produced and will not require many employees for manufacturing.
