This design demonstrates Torsten Neeland's working practice. He meticulously works out forms over and over again. Here he overlays the different elements of the product on different sheets. He would then transcribe them onto a two-dimensional CAD (Computer Aided Design). The design shows that traditional materials and methods still had a place in the technology-driven product design of the late 1990s.
