From the personas and expression board came four main concept areas. They all tried to focus on keeping a balance between manage space and increase functionality.
After considering the different concepts and comparing them through matrixes the most suitable solutions was the pattern modules. They give the user the desired freedom and mobility to bring whatever they want. The almost unlimited possibilities to arrange and choose between the functionality gives the user the desired control to bring what they need and doesn’t have to feel stressed over losing och tangling accessories. Having the storage solutions interchangeable also gives an opportunity to bring only the small single modules and still keep track of you things.
