One reason why I like SolidWorks is because it’s very easy to put a design idea together. It’s a great tool, but creating something out of pure inspiration is a lot of fun. I find a lot of things that inspire me and Sternform is the most recent. They take some very simple ideas, create a design and come out with a very cool and highly functional product.
Their latest product is the 90-90 shelf light for Pling Collection and it doesn’t get much simpler than that. Now, I’m not sure what they use to design their ideas, but it’s a great example of how you can take your idea and turn it into something functional. Keep going with your ideas. You never know what could happen.
