Paige Smith Portfolio DIY Poppers for Weddingstar Wedding Favours

Guest Favor Poppers

The first popper design is a thank-you favour with a special gift inside for the wedding guests. I repurposed paper from a table runner (Weddingstar product) in a gold marble design to make the popper.

Name Card Poppers

The second popper idea does double duty as a favour and name card for a truly personal touch for guests at the reception. I repurposed paper placements in a marble design (Weddingstar product) to create the popper.

Dessert Table Poppers

The third popper concept is intended for displaying candy (inside) on a sweets table. I repurposed paper from a table runner in a gold polka dot design (Weddingstar product) to create the poppers. Adding pink ribbon and label was the perfect final touch.

Paige Smith Industrial design project Marcel Wanders doorknob

Prototype

Inspired by Marcel Wanders, I sketched and fabricated an elaborate to-scale prototype of a pair of doorknobs that would open up to a bathroom designed by the Dutch designer. To create the final prototype, I repurposed a wall clock with a barbed quatrefoil frame, vintage ornate metal door plates, large glass diamonds and ornamental wood decorations.

Mood Board

For an in-class presentation about Marcel Wanders, I researched and created an inspiration board about the famous designer. By incorporating similar materials such as rope and lace, I brought in a tactile look and feel in the mood board to reference his Knotted and Crochet chair designs.
