SweepSure

In an Introduction to DF....X, we explored three projects, focusing on personal, niche, and mass-market solutions. The first, Wedge, is a wooden door stopper crafted to bring joy through simplicity and self-satisfaction. The second, QuickBrew, is an adjustable glass coffee pour-over designed for efficiency and ease of use. The third, SweepSure, reimagines the traditional coconut husk broom with injection-molded components and anodized aluminum, making it lighter in weight to reduce fatigue and improving ergonomics. Each product progressed from concept to prototype, supported by technical drawings, bills of materials, and physical models for real-world application.
