Inspired by Dyson’s engineering excellence, I designed a drill that reimagines power tools with the brand’s signature innovation, ergonomics, and sleek aesthetics. This project explores how Dyson’s design language—seamless integration of form and function, advanced airflow mechanics, and user-centric ergonomics—could transform the traditional drill into a more efficient, lightweight, and visually striking tool.

Pain Points

Dyson was founded in 1978 by James Dyson. The brand became famous due to its cyclonic vacuum design. Today, we know them for their iconic design language and innovation. Dyson seeks out problems that have already been solved to try to find a better answer.

Brand Language

Drill Dissection

Disassemble and reassemble drill to gain deeper understanding of construction and internals

Ideation

Models

Models in green were made by using the cabriole method with a bandsaw, the model in purple was made by a CNC machine.

Final Solution

A drill that can vacuum while you work.
