Nautical Mile, 2020, Autodesk Fusion 360, Keyshot, 236 x 219 mm

I have a fascination with cartography, and I always find myself designing products where navigation is essential. Traditional chartplotters (Boat GPS’s) have gross aesthetics and similarly threatening usability, so I wanted to fix that. I wanted to design something with great dualisms happening, so I strived to strike a balance between dark and light colors, analog and digital features, and finally wood and metal materials. These items don’t favor the traditions of sailing, and I wanted to reference this wonderful history. With that came Nautical Mile, so sit back and I’ll show you the way. @tjlow.design / tjlow.com
