The form of Palmer was shaped through an exploration of abstract volume relationships, guided by Rowena Reed Kostellow’s principles of design. Beginning with primary solids, I focused on creating a dynamic but balanced composition where the major, minor, and transitional volumes worked in harmony. The mouse’s soft curvature emerged from iterative sculpting, prioritizing a directional thrust that intuitively guides the hand into a relaxed horizontal posture. Rather than treating ergonomics as a set of functional constraints, I approached the form as a spatial dialogue, emphasizing positive and negative space, tension, and the subtle play of light across surfaces. This process allowed the design to feel both visually resolved and physically intuitive, where form follows feeling as much as function.
