Enclosure design for a conch shell–inspired hair dryer, focusing on ergonomic form development, surface continuity, visual identity, and translating cultural inspiration into a functional consumer product.
Product Naming
Pānchjanya is named after a conch shell from Indian mythology, traditionally associated with clarity, strength, and decisive action. The conch’s spiral form and symbolic role as a call to action inspired both the product’s name and its sculptural enclosure design.
