Easel Buddy
360 Canvas Rotator: Easel Attachment
Problem Statement
The current easel allows the painter to work in four orientations of the canvas. This causes discomfort when artists are working with details (especially with big canvases). More specifically, pain in the back, neck, and shoulders would be exacerbated by the long hours spent painting. Our target market would be any artist that paints with any type of art easel, except for bench easels or art horses (as they are fixed in place).
The design opportunity is to create an attachment to existing easels, which would rotate the canvas 360 degrees. The solution should be ergonomic and suitable to attach on various easels.
