Much thanks to the Octoboxers who took the courage to step up and put together our submission for this assignment. We misinterpreted the assignment details and ended up having to scratch together a last minute piece. It still turned out quite well and we are pleased to submit this design brief.

To begin this week, our entrepreneur Andrew, explores other possible forms for the Sustain-A-Stack design.

“I think that we need to take the word furniture more seriously. There are many other types of furniture that must be explored. Let’s see what happens”

Today’s class served as a great opportunity to evaluate the current state of progress. We also shared our recent changes (in light of last week’s stand-in focus group) and presented a brief performance of one facet of our projects interaction. In short, we have defined our conceptual design and are proceeding to refine our project into a more coherent and understandable package.

In light of today’s class topic, concept refinement, we’ve assembled a lengthy list of weekly requirements to have complete in preparation for the user feedback stage where our team will engage in focus groups and a series of one-to-one interviews.
