The brief.

The brief for this project was to design an evolutionary innovation of a rechargeable flashlight for Uniqlo. Utilising user-centred research, we identified common pain points with flashlights in the specific context of outdoor activities, like holding a flashlight during activities that require both hands, and recharging it.

The product.

The outcome of this design sprint was a kinetically-charged lightpod capable of charging while you walk. The lightpod is designed to clip onto any fabric, and comes with a drawstring bag lined with reflective fabric which enhances the light emitted by the lightpod. Lux would incorporate seamlessly into Uniqlo's brand by being paired with a line of clothing which uses reflective material.
