Product Redesign

i. Redesign Concept

The focus of the redesign is mainly on high portability and efficiency, with having a comfortable handle, suitable size for easy storage, and a large surface area for lint removal being the focal parts for redesign. White, black, and silver colours are used for a simple and modern appearance. The material has a matte finish for a deluxe look.

ii. Sketches
iv. Redesigned Product

The transparent lint compartment can be pulled upwards to function as a handle. At the same time, the size of the lint compartment is increased, allowing the user to use the product for a longer time before having to remove the lint collected.

A large surface area allows for quick and efficient removal of lint.

The brush stays in place with the help of magnets. It can be easily removed for use by pushing the edge of the brush into the notch on the right.

Black and white minimalist design options, with silver metallic accents.
