Main Project – Aesthetics (Steampunk Headphone Stand)

For my main project, I decided to work on a headphone stand as I drew inspiration from my day-to day needs. If I am building something, I would rather want to build that would cater to one of my needs. To start with different types of stands, I came across the minimalist aesthetic and the human figure aesthetic.

But none of these designs actually intrigued me much to dig in further and research about the same. So I moved ahead from there and came across the steampunk aesthetic for the headphone stand. So as I have decided, I’ll be using a steampunk skull as the base of the stand. It will be mounted on a wooden plank, along with a steampunk fan at the base. The steampunk fan will consist of three edison bulbs as the core. Building from the skull, I will be using steampunk pipe fittings with a edison bulb on top and similar pipe fittings on the side acting as arms for the headphones. This aesthetic really impressed me by its visual appeal and I really wanted a product that I could build and keep in my work space.

The list of the materials I will be using are seen above in the pictures. I will be starting to procure materials soon and hopefully start building right away. Any suggestions are welcome  regarding the product.
