This was my original prototype, roughly sculpted in wax, reproduced in plastic slush-cast in a quick silicone mold. We used it to demonstrate the concept's potential to the client before quickly proceeding to styling and production..
The drawing was my mechanical art, the final design before autocad and tooling. It was discovered that the flat surfaces did not add much to stability, so they were removed for simplicity and improved elegance.

This is another patented product that I developed and styled for Gourmac/Hutzler as a member of Kolano Design, including the wave pattern of spikes.

During the cupcake trend in the early 2000's, I was a member of the Kolano Design team. I proposed this concept of cupcake stackers, and went on to develop product through final production.
