Form Designs Australia designed the innovative Steadyrack, a space-saving bicycle rack created to address the challenges of bike storage in densely populated areas. This product eliminates the need to lift bikes onto a hook by utilising the front wheel’s natural rotation to mount the bike vertically. The rack also features a swivel function, allowing bikes to be suspended closer to parallel with the wall, optimising storage in tight spaces. When not in use, the Steadyrack can be folded flush against the wall for added convenience. This clever combination of product design and industrial design innovation has driven Steadyrack's commercial success across multiple continents.
The Cyclevision Bike Helmet combines two high quality recording cameras with a sleek helmet design.
The Crab Crib was developed to overcome this problem and to deliver a more sustainable and more effective product to the market. Changing from netting to a flexible PVC die-cut sheet, the Crab Crib allows small crabs to easily slip out of the crab pot without causing any injury. The Crab Crib spreads up into a basket shape and collapses easily for effective storage and functionality.
At Form Designs Australia, we crafted the Gift of Life Baton to symbolise the precious act of organ donation. This sleek, meaningful keepsake represents the passing of life, featuring an elegant, ergonomic design that honours both donors and recipients. It’s a tribute to life, hope, and second chances.
The ClubWhizz is a prime example of innovative industrial design, engineered to solve a common golfing issue—keeping golf clubs clean during play. The design team at Form Designs Australia developed a unique solution by utilising the rotation of a golf cart wheel to power a circular brush, allowing golfers to clean their clubs easily between shots. One of the key challenges was making the product universal, which was achieved through an adjustable tie strap system that fits all golf buggy wheels. Additionally, the product features a click-and-lock mechanism, enabling golfers to use it as a hand brush when needed. The ClubWhizz showcases creative problem-solving in industrial design, delivering a functional, versatile, and user-friendly product.
Form Designs Australia developed the Rockfisher Personal Flotation Device (PFD) to address the specific needs of the rock fishing industry, recognising that traditional PFDs often lack appeal for anglers seeking functionality and style. The Rockfisher combines practical features such as storage for keys and phones, bait cutting tools, and built-in lighting while maintaining a rugged aesthetic that resonates with fishermen. Designed to blend seamlessly into the outdoor environment, this PFD enhances safety without compromising on masculinity, marking a significant shift in fishing gear that excites the angling community.
The aim was to design a camera to mount on the rear of a bicycle, under the saddle on the saddle post. The Fly 6 concept proposes to deliver a number of safety and awareness benefits, which will reduce accidents and road rage, while providing accurate recorded data of events that may lead up to incidents that occur on the road between cyclists and other road users.
The Swimsure project, developed by Form Designs, aimed to create a portable personal swimming enclosure to protect swimmers from shark attacks, addressing concerns that deterred people from utilising their boats in Western Australia. The design team focused on lightweight, strong, and eco-friendly materials, incorporating Bionic Barrier technology for the underwater panels, which are flexible, durable, and individually replaceable if damaged. The inflatable float, made from heavy-weight polyurethane alloy, is easy to transport and store, offering boat owners a safe swimming experience while promoting eco-friendly shark mitigation solutions.
