Popcorn Monsoon is a minimalist design created by Netherlands-based designer Jolene Carlier. The drawings with which this project started were made to create a world of pure imagination that still makes sense in this one. Starting with shape and colour makes a design process playful, later on a surprising yet suitable function can be found. As an example of this process, one drawing was translated into a popcorn machine. Like any other functional product it had to be conceptualised and constructively thought through. Most popcorn machines are very dull though the simple process of making popcorn is exciting. Thats what this machine enlarges, its an experience for both children and adults. The drawings form a foundation for future designs.
