going into this project, my goal was to design a perfume bottle that embodies elegance, utility, and the essence of a cherished heirloom. i wanted to blend aesthetics with functionality, ensuring the bottle is both beautiful and practical for everyday use. inspired by industrial support structures and the inner workings of objects, i aimed for the bottle to stand out in the home, to be something the user is proud to use daily, and eventually to become a keepsake that can be passed down through generations.

the intended user for this perfume bottle prioritizes utility and durability, with an appreciation for products that are meticulously crafted to endure and serve a clear, practical purpose. this individual values heirlooms and seeks timeless, elegant designs that can be passed down through generations. The perfume bottle is intended as a lifetime investment, eliminating the need for future purchases. features ensuring longevity and resistance to wear and tear are key components of the design. additionally, the bottle is designed for ease of refilling, thereby reducing inconvenience and minimizing waste.
the perfume bottle is intended for use in the user's everyday life. while the product will mostly stay at home, it needs to be durable enough for use at the gym, on the go, and in all life’s moments. the design should be elegant enough to be proudly displayed at home, serving not only as a functional product but also as a cherished heirloom to pass down. With all these factors in mind, the bottle must emphasize function and durability just as much as aesthetics and craftsmanship.
