NAWI

(RHINO)
11.8.23

A revamped carabiner with an ergonomic gate. Ensures your keys are secure and creates a new form of expression through accessorizing. 

FORM IDEATION


This project kept bringing me back to the drawing board. This was a project where I took a heavy look at my heritage and tried to combine that with ergonomics, examining Baybayin, a Pinoy script, and hand tools. 

INSPIRATION


I took heavy inspiration from Filipino forms and the brutalist aesthetic of certain pieces of jewelry.
