Finalize of the Chimarrão Project
Chimarrão is a hot, culturally significant drink from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, made by brewing powdered maté leaves with hot water. Traditionally, it’s served in a gourd called a cuia and consumed through a metal straw known as a bomba, symbolizing community and tradition.In our design, we propose a solution that combines functionality and tradition: a thermos to keep the water hot, a compartment to store maté powder, and a brewing section that connects seamlessly through a rotating mechanism with a lid. Additionally, the bomba straw can double as a handle, enhancing convenience and portability. Our design is made of stainless steel and offers two different design options. One is wood coated and the other is pure metallic without any intervention to make it more natural.
Beyza Can
Hiii there! I am Beyza Can, a 4th year industrial design student at METU. I am 22 years old and I will graduate this year but I do not feel to ready this. I really love METU campus and the student life in Ankara. But whatever, the course of life shows what will happen anyway. In my free time, I love spending time with my friends and also meeting new people. Besides this, sometimes I really get tired of being social and need being alone. At this times my room is my best friend. My skincare routines, candles, scented oils, my youtube and bed calm me and give me peace. I love exploring new places and new experiences. In general, vacations offer me this opportunity and I can travel to wherever I want. My hometown is Antalya, my family still live here and Antalya's humid sunny weather, the coastline, the mountain scenery and the people have always been great for me. That's why, I visit during my vacations, both to spend time with my family and to satisfy my longing for Antalya.Talking about design, my favourite project was MetuNature App. I really love diving into UI/UX design and had chance to get experience at my last internship at Jotform. You can reach me at beyzacanbeyaz@gmail.com, can.beyza_01@metu.edu.tr. And I am also available at whatsapp ( +90 553 525 45 04 )
Deniz Akay
Hello,I am Deniz Akay. I was born in Georgia/USA but now I live in Turkey. I am at the fourth and final year of my industrial design study in Middle East Technical University. I love the challenge of problem solving in design and that’s why I chose industrial design as a profession.In my spare time, I like riding my longboard down the hills and building things out of LEGO. I also like taking walks in the nature with my dog Rex and observe my surroundings. I have an interest in cars as well. I like playing racing games and watching motorsports. I also love listening to Cage the Elephant.My favorite project that I have completed is a personal blender where we had to identify problems with an existing blender and redesign it. We also had to consider sustainability of the redesigned product, and I really enjoyed trying to find ways to make it more sustainable while also trying to solve other problems. I enjoy designing house appliances and want to work in that field in the future where I would push to design more sustainable products.Email: deniz.akay@metu.edu.trTel: +90 (541) 413 23 21Instagram: @akaydenis.designer
