Safety Razor

Muji is a company that prides itself on clean, simplistic design and hosts a design competition every year.  For my submission, I designed a traditional safety razor with modern inspirations.  In four short weeks, I was able to go from a project brief to a functioning prototype to present and demonstrate. 

Project Brief

Long lasting design for living

Muji provided only this statement for design submissions. The first task was to interpret the meaning of this phrase, and to me, this meant tradition and heritage. I wanted my design to reflect the kind of tradition that can only come from something passed on from one generation to the next...like a father teaching his son to shave for the first time.
