Crosswise Cocktail Shaker.
This was a project completed as part of my Product Design Degree at Sheffield Hallam University.

The brief for this cocktail shaker project was to produce an item which could be sold in the David Mellor shop. By looking at the current range of products, the clientele for the brand and the design language which is prominent throughout the range which is readily sold, this product was developed.

These context images show how the Crosswise Cocktail Shaker would fit easily into a modern surrounding.
The Black Ceramic finish gives the product a minimalist aesthetic. Ironically, the product appears somewhat sober externally, hence the decision to make the internal strainer component a contrast in colour, material and finish.

The cocktail shaker would be made from slip cast ceramic, a process which would achieve the high quality finish demanded in the David Mellor shop. For functional reasons a silicon seal would be added to allow the stainless steel strainer to fit together with the body and stopper to limit leakages.
The red strainer part would be made from a high quality polymer (Zytel HTN 51) which would suit the most extreme needs for a cocktail shaker with no damage to the component.

This was not a Live project with the David Mellor brand, merely a project inspired by the company.
