Object Study

Balls

A compact object study about how simple forms can carry gesture, play, and personality. The page frames the project around form behavior, interaction, material testing, and reflection.

01

Prompt

Balls can be framed as an object study around form, behavior, and interaction rather than a purely functional product.

  • Simple object vocabulary
  • Material and scale exploration
  • Interaction-first framing

02

Form Study

Sketches and physical tests explore how shifts in size, surface, weight, and arrangement change the way the objects invite handling.

  • Shape language
  • Surface treatment
  • Proportion tests

03

Interaction

The interaction story focuses on touch, movement, arrangement, and reaction, treating the objects as small prompts for play rather than static forms.

  • User gestures
  • Play and behavior
  • Feedback through form

04

Prototype

Document the making process, material experiments, and what changed between versions.

  • Low-fidelity models
  • Material trials
  • Refined prototype

05

Reflection

The study closes by showing how small formal decisions can make an object feel curious, approachable, and physically expressive.

  • Form communicates behavior
  • Interaction creates meaning
  • Next material direction
