OXO wall panel

OXO is a modular and multi-functional wall panel system for the home.


The system is comprised of three principal components; a circular plate, an 's' shaped connecting arm and a cylindrical fixing that holds the elements together. Once these elements are fixed to the wall a variety of functional products can be positioned according to the user's needs. For the purposes of this project these functions include a mirror, a hook, a clock and a light fitting but the system proposes an infinite number of 'add-ons' that could be developed as part of the product range.

In terms of materials, colours, and finishes the product uses powder coated steel for the plates and arms whilst the cylindrical fixings are fashioned from oak. The project presents a single colour way that utilises autumnal hues; olive greens and browns are complimented with an orange highlight. In reality the product could be available in many different colour ways organised around specific themes to help the customer.

On a personal note, the project has provided an opportunity to explore an interest in modularity and the design of flexible systems. Much has been learnt about materials and the way in which they can be assembled / connected in detail.
