My main aim was to design a recognizable silhouette that was different from other products on the market as It seemed to me most hair irons looked pretty similar. In an effort to accommodate different materials and colours on the iron, and to continue the fashion inspired product language of Corioliss, I suggested the arms be constructed of two components. The colour/print of the inner and outer arms could then be contrasted and changed according to marketing requirements. I also I introduced curved, extremities to guide the hair towards the plates and offer a place to grip the ends of the iron for extra control.
basic schematic drawings (below) were submited to the Korean manufacturer who thankfully developed the concept into a working product. After the final sample was signed of by the company directors I was worked on the design registration drawings.

A couple of months ago my trusty hair straighteners decided to die on me, and as much as I wanted to replace them with GHD's, True Zero
