DESIGN NAME: Condemn cuff

INSPIRATION: It is inspired by structure of a car suspension and a train stopper. This idea is used to make the main body of the cuff. It has 2 compression springs in both sides.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The main goal with this project was to make a cuff that does not have size limitation.
The biggest challenge was choosing a clasp. A clasp was integral but it limited size. Therefore, I aimed to design a clasp and a cuff as one object.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This cuff is designed to fit various size of wrist with an extension system.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started and finished in January 2015 in Philadelphia.
