Espresso Machine
How might we design an espresso machine inspired by the movie character Elle Woods from Legally Blonde. Reflecting her bold personality and fashionable aesthetic.
Model created on Solidworks & rendered on Keyshot.
A look into my process.
Research
Legally Blonde is the story of Elle’s transformation from being underestimated and dismissed to earning respect and success in the male-dominated legal world.
Initially perceived as a stereotypical "dumb blonde”. Despite what people believe, she is very intelligent and capable.
Over time, Elle realizes her worth isn’t tied to others’ opinions. Elle’s “girly-ness” provides a unique point of viewwhich helps her succeed in the court room and break stereotypes.
Elle loves all things pink, her sorority life, and her dog Bruiser.
