RESEARCH ABSTRACT: We researched Fillipo Bruneleschi`s work in particular and took it as an inspiration. As well as Reneissance epoch in general and outstanding architecture of Florence. We took Golden Ratio and correlation between round and squre shape as a basis for our design.
CHALLENGE: The challenge was to make a new design line in the low-cost segment of the market, that will be looking like more expensive and that will be different from all exsisiting ones, yet attractive. We had to keep it low-cost in production.
