Project 1 – Arnoud Algera

Wild leaf

The vision of this project was to create sustainable solutions by using biomimicry. We create high-quality easy to use products for the future generation.

Target group

The target group of this project are regular campers with the look and feel of a more “back to the basic” approach. They love the feeling of being outdoors. Away from all the bustle of the big city. The age of the target group is around eighteen to thirty-five years old.

In most of the projects I create personas. Collages are made with the personas for a more clear view at the target group.

Idea sketches

Lots of sketches are made to create a good concept.

Shape sketches

After the sketches of all the shapes, I started with mixing all the good things to one shape. In my sketches I like to add comments that help develop the design. All the shapes with positive feedback are mixed into one form.

Final Concept

The concept is a biomimicry based concept with an easy setup, with different features that make connecting with nature fun.

Final Concept

This is the top view of the tent. The tent uses the airflow technique to setup the tent. The veins of the leaf will be filled with air. This makes the tent easy to setup. The whole tent will be supported by pegs.

Final Concept

This is the entrance of the tent. Enough room for two persons.

Final Concept

This is the special light feature on the front of the tent. The color will change from a warm color to a cold color depending on the weather forecast.

Final Concept

This is the feature in the roof of the tent. This is the view when you lay down in your tent. If it is nice weather you can watch the stars.
