Final product in context
The main components are the algae tank and the upper enclosure containing the electric components. The product absorbs up to 6g/CO2/day through photosynthesis (a small tree only absorbs 15g/day).
Prototype
Using a range of techniques, Emile created an aesthetic model using 3D printing, hand modeling, and vacuum forming to achieve a high-quality finish.
How does it work?
Air is drawn in through a HEPA filter to absorb PM before reaching the algae. To harvest the algae periodically there is a filter, there are also lighting to ensure photosynthesis happens constantly
MODA - Modular FX unit for DJs and musicians
Modular Design project set by Seymour Powell. Emile designed a modular effect unit for DJ. The ergonomic and functionality were particularly important in this design.
Spotify promotional widget
Project created as part of the second year module Design Manufacture & Technology. As a group of six we designed this widget and manufactured ourselves to finally injection mould it. This project was a great first insight on the manufacturing side of design and was very helpful to understand the process of injection moulding.
