Problem Statement
Reimagine residential storm doors with aesthetic, simple, and manufacturable design characteristics.
Research & Methodology
Product Researchers studied the industry and created design inspiration boards to stimulate creativity and ideation.
Ideate & Design
DISHER discussed, collaborated, and generated many features, ideas, and concepts that met the design criteria. Product feature ideas were gathered, organized, and compared in a Pugh Analysis Chart to guide decision making in the design direction.
Build & Verify
Industrial Designers worked with Engineers to create viable concepts of various mechanisms and materials to meet the design goals and manufacturing requirements. A dozen 18” maquettes were built to test the feasibility of various latch-attachment methods. Later a full-scale prototype was built of the top concept.
Reactions & Final Product
The manufacturer was pleased with the storm door designs and prototypes. The IP was sold to a supplier.
