Honda Nourish was one piece of a semester long collaborative effort to design an autonomous mobile living unit interior for the future. While my partner Aiden took a zoomed out approach, tackling the interior space as a whole, I narrowed in on the kitchen area as a unique challenge given the constraints.

DESIGN GOAL
a water filtration system for backpackers that is lightweight, RELiable, and intuitive
COLLECTION
Small opening can be difficult to funnel water from the source.
STORAGE
Don't have a good way to organize all the components; in a big bag this can be a problem.
Handling
Filter output has no way to secure to water bottle for hands off filtration. People will use their feet while squeezing to stabilize.
MAINTENANCE
Requires frequent back-flushing with additional syringe that breaks often, adds more weight and volume to your pack.
ASSEMBLY
Process to assemble and disassemble includes too many steps and loose parts to try and juggle.
PAIN points
THE PLATYPUS BRAND
Platypus is a US based company that has been specializing in top-quality, outdoor hydration gear. Their filtration product lineup includes filter bottles and a gravity bag system but there's an opening for a squeeze filter to compete with brands like Sawyer.

design for disassembly means more repairs and less replacements
Made to come apart
