Morven Trails Drink Set is a travel hot toddy set for the cross country skier who enjoys a warming drink along their journey. Honoring the history of the hot toddy, the set is named after a district in Highlands Scotland.
Skills Used: Sketching, Prototyping, Iterative Modeling, Fusion 360, Keyshot.

Design Goals
Portable
All elements of the set should be easy to ski with and transport in a standard backpack.
Traditional
The set should honor the rich history of both cross country skiing and the hot toddy drink.
Vintage
The set should honor the vintage high class aesthetic that comes with skiing.
Initial Sketch Ideation
Explored different forms inspired by classic hot toddy glass shape and bourbon glass shape, different iterations of each piece of the set, and different mechanical integrations.
Further Sketch Refinement
Further iterated on each piece considering ergonomics and materiality constraints.
Generation 1 Model Analysis
Generation 2 Model Analysis
Clay Lid Iterations
Clay lid iterations. explored different lid options and form for flip top. Once form was settled further refinement was made in CAD and 3D prints.
3D Printed Lid Iterations
After exploring clay I moved into 3D modeling based on the form I landed on form the clay. I explored different places for the hinge point and different shapes for flip top. My final lid balances manipulability, constraints with leather tether, and human factors drink-ability.

Detail Callouts
Leather wrap and strap are attached through snap fasteners. Allows for swappable branding opportunities and for the unit to rotate, moving the handle to the side for optimum drinking angle.
Stove vents - Optimum air circulation with vents at top and bottom, only on half of the body allows for adjustments for optimum wind angle.
Pot - Threads and silicone ring are deeper than spout allowing for water tight seal.
