The document discusses redesign ideas for several common home decor items: candle-light holders, pencil holders, key racks, toothbrush holders, and table lamps. It notes limitations of the existing designs such as lack of stability, difficulty accessing items inside the holder, loose joints, limited battery life, and potential for burns or spreading germs. The document suggests that redesigning these items could address these usability and safety issues.

elegant, it comes with its own set of limitations. • The holder is not stable at every positions that is placed in. • The wax melts really fast and the candle stick is deformed into unusable form • When the flame is really close to the holding part ( the candle is really short after melting), it may heat up the metal part and cause accidental burns. Re-Design Ideation Pen/Pencil Holder
• As its clear from the picture itself , the whole
structure is basic. • Multiple things of different dimensions and properties will have to be stacked together. • If there are too many items inside the Pencil holder, picking an individual item becomes difficult. • If something small as a box of pencil leads gets stuck inside, one would have to remove all of the things that are inside just to take it outside. Re-Design Ideation Key Rack
• Most of the times , there are multiple
number of keys so whenever someone tries to take one key from the rest , there is a giggling sound. • Sometimes the Keychain gets stuck to the hook. • The whole thing moves sometimes when you are trying to take keys. • The Holder may fall down to the ground, if not properly nailed on to the wall. Re-Design Ideation Toothbrush Holder
• Even though there is a hole for hanging it by
the nails, it seldom fits right, and always moves to and fro , and if we try to make it more tight, the plastic will break under pressure. • As its almost always placed in bathrooms, it will always stay wet, the brushes will never be dry • As the brushes have no proper placing inside the holder, two or more brushes may come in contact, and cause germ transfusion from one brush to another. Re-Design Ideation Table Lamp
• The battery capacity of the lamp is
limited. • At some specific angles , the lamp loses it balance and falls sideways. • The screws at the joints gets loose after using for a long time. • Charging is uneasy, you don’t know when the lamp is fully charged. Re-Design Ideation
