Make your dining experience precious and memorable.
Making the mock-up models, I considered the way the napkin is placed inside of the ring and how it conveys the image of "delivering the message." Initially, I thought of spot welding the bird on a separate ring that could be outsourced. However, I was more drawn to the idea of making the product out of one piece of metal, simplifying the manufacturing process.
After making mock-up models, I made prototypes of different shapes of napkin rings to decide on the final design. During the prototyping process, I found out that the proportions of the body and tail of the bird greatly affect to the way the napkin is placed in the ring. I was also able to find the right length for the beak to hold the paper scroll in place. In addition, I revised the design so that the ring can stand by itself on the dinner table without tipping over.
