Traditional tools often lack protective features and task assistance, making them challenging for younger users.
Note: This is not an actual IKEA product. Third-party brands, trademarks, and copyrighted materials are used for demonstration purposes only as part of a student project.
This safety-focused toolbox includes a power hand drill, hammer, and screw drill bit, featuring precision, alignment support, and intuitive guidance.
Why choose IKEA as the brand?
Current IKEA products
IKEA already offers tool kits, but none specially for kids. IKEA also has children products market, this project could introduce a kid-friendly power tools set under the IKEA brand, naturally complementing their existing product line.
User Scenario
The next part covers the design process
The deation sketches iterate through feature brainstorming, user interaction, and form exploration, refining the design based on prototype testing.
I tested 3D-printed prototypes to refine the most ergonomic grip for the hammer and hand drill.
The wider top handle houses the gearbox and power motor.
Study the hand drill’s inner components and create a functional prototype for better testing.
This project also considers the manufacturing process
The power hand drill features a modular design with screws and cut lines for easy disassembly, making repair and recycling more feasible.
Manufacturing methods of the tool kit
Family Bonding Time
Parents and kids use their tools to assemble IKEA furniture together, enjoying meaningful family time.
Inspired by vibrant, colorful foods, the palette makes the toolkit more engaging for younger users while distinguishing it from conventional tools.
