Finally i have found free time to make this post. :) The project was nominated to first prize at designboom "500 wants you" competition in life style category. Folowing the brief i translated design of new fiat 500 to small wireless vacuum cleaner. In front VC500 have light emiting leds to illuminate the dark places during the cleaning of car interior. Compact VC500 can be charget through car lighter socket and stored under seat or in glove compartment.

The initial images was presented by fiat company which inspierd my design.





Same interior colors of the car applyed to the model. Part between the seats became on/off button of the cleaner.


Research sketches




Final design was built in Rhino 3D and rendred with V-ray

The child's soft toy Flipo'n'Flipi converts from happy clown to sad and back. It helps parents easily explain to kids 3-5 years old that things are interchangeable. That one clown can play two roles, two opposites can coexist in one body, sad changes to happy again and etc. It is pleasing a children with its quick magical transformation with popup effect.



Based on deep study, gorgeous clown characters were developed by wonderful illustrator Anatoly Fishgang.




Design is inspired from two types of clowns "White" and "Auguste" that appear on vintage pictures.


Selection of fabrics, creation of patterns and final sewing of the prototype made by Elena Belokrinitski.
Elena made textile pattern and sewed a fabulous doll.
