This personal project was created as part of the Render Weekly challenges, aiming to explore the design process, covering everything from product conception and 3D modeling to rendering.
The proposal features a compact utility knife with a standardized retractable blade. The design was crafted to provide a more user-friendly and ergonomic experience, standing out with rounded shapes and a color palette that breaks away from the traditionally industrial look of similar tools.
The utility knife is made from recycled plastic, and its textured button, made of rubber, ensures a secure and comfortable grip.
