Question

The following objects are available to you: 
2 Hemispheres 
2 Cubes 
2 Cylinders 
2 Wires (Flexible Rods) 

5 interesting products made out of a combination of all 8 objects. You can scale the objects to any size or dimension.
Represent your ideas with neat sketches. Name each product and add a brief description (if necessary) in the space provided below. 
 

Hint:

To enhance visual coherence across the products, introduce one secondary material (like polished wood or transparent acrylic) for all the 'wire/rod' components. This unifies the diverse products while maintaining the clean, geometric structure of the cubes, cylinders, and hemispheres.

Answer 1

Design Prompt
