elk.
“elk" is a cell phone holder. It is built in such a way that it can adapt flexibly to the surroundings at different locations. The material plastic is also very optimal for the desired functionality of the object. The object is ideally constructed using the injection molding technique. "elk" is a very practical object that can be used anywhere, quickly and safely. The name of the holder is derived from its external shape.




My idea started with two simple circles as the basic form on paper. A large and a small circle bound to each other laterally. In order to create more stability. The next step was to move the circles slightly so that they intersect at two points and the connection between the circles is resilient. Then I halved the circles to create an opening. The smaller side is intended as a kind of clip and the larger side as a holder for the cell phone. The arched line in the middle forms a suspension between the bracket and holder, which ensures the necessary elasticity. Since tension and flexibility play an important role in this construction, the geometry of the circular elements is suitable as a stable basis. The wider the cell phone, the more pressure is exerted on the holder. This automatically results in a firmer grip on the clip. The opening of the clip consists of two shapes, flat at the top for flat surfaces and round at the bottom for pipes and branches.
