Hugo Bottrell
Industrial Design, 2021
I am a 25-year-old industrial design student from the University of Canberra, I hope to graduate at the end of 2021 to become a fully qualified industrial designer. I am originally from Sydney and lived there for the first 22 years of my life before moving to Canberra to begin studying my passion. I hope to end up in Melbourne to get some industry experience and further develop my skills as a young designer. I love creating ideas and developing products which are beneficial for both people and the planet.
Selected Portfolio
Spike Stool
By utilising light and shadow, the Spike Stool creates a unique juxtaposition between the highlights on the faceted solid steel framework and the geometric silhouette it leaves behind.
Life Light
Life Light explores the relationship between humans and plants. The product acts as a voice for the plant and using sensors can detect if the plant needs more sunlight and water before communicating this to the user through different coloured LED signals. By using infrared touch technology and gesture controls, users can interact with their plant as if they were nurturing a living animal.
