The Design Process

Brief:

Most Irish households have difficulty storing and finding keys when required. Often times we are delayed and suffer stress as a result.

The MTW students of Scoil Mhuire have been approached to design and make a decorative artefact to help solve this problem. The artefact should be capable of storing a minimum of 3 keys. The artefact is to be wall mounted and have a theme of nature.
