A playful design exercise on 'chindogu'

The button bra reflects back to my teenage years from when I encountered many awkward moments in which I had difficulty unhooking a bra.

Inspired by seat belts and ejector buttons, the bra would instantly spring apart in an almost comedic fashion. 

Even though it successfully solves the issue of hooks, another issue arises in the shape of a large button bulging from the users back. Perhaps in the future, a more refined version could be designed and implemented.

But for now, this crude prototype was made to test my ability in engineering, and to fulfil my satisfaction of making a big red button with a cathartic "ka-chung" sound.
