Development Process
​
As part of a third-year project involving collaboration with toolmaker KAPRO, we were asked to redesign one of their products, in a competition that would ultimately select the winning designs to be integrated into the company.
I was asked to design a cast aluminum level for the company's high-quality series OPTIVISION. The product had to be very durable, very accurate, and aesthetically desirable.
​
My concept started from the point of view that "between two points passes a straight line". From this, I realized that the level does not have to have a full surface in order to measure a line - it needs only two points.
However, in order to ensure a good sampling of the surface, the level should have a bit of a flat surface. From that point, the vision of the design was clear.
Lifting part of the level from the surface allowed the opportunity to grip the center of the level steadily without compromising its function, as well as reducing its weight. It also allows to "bypass" small irregularities in the measured surface.
