FlexiBowl: Motion suggested through form
Context
Exploring how flexibility can be designed into form rather than added through mechanism. Developed for eating on the go, the project considers how a single object might shift between two states - expanded and collapsed -responding to use, storage, and portability.
The question was how material and geometry could work together to allow change without introducing parts or complexity.
Process
The bowl was designed around a soft, flexible silicone body capable of folding into itself. Early studies focused on how the upper portion could collapse downward, transforming the object from a tall bowl into a lower, wider form suitable for different uses.
Resolution
Diagonal ridges were introduced as both structure and visual signal. They fade in from the base and dissolve along the rim, reinforcing the impression of a form under compression.
