The client had an existing concept for a drop-front shoe storage box intended for home organization.

While the product was functional, it needed improvements in:

• Ease of access when opening and closing

• Overall proportions and visual cleanliness

• Structural reliability for repeated daily use

• Design details suitable for mass production

At the start, the design required refinement rather than a complete reinvention.

I focused on refining the product design while preserving its original intent and functionality.

My contribution included:

• Improving the drop-front opening mechanism for smoother operation

• Refining proportions and surface details for a cleaner look

• Strengthening structural elements while keeping the design lightweight

• Optimizing part geometry for injection molding

• Simplifying the overall design to support efficient assembly

• Preparing the product for prototyping and production

The final design delivered a cleaner, more practical shoe storage box that improves everyday usability.

The result:

• Allows easy access to stored shoes

• Maintains a minimal and modern appearance

• Is durable enough for repeated use

• Is suitable for large-scale manufacturing
