Industrial designer ZJ-DDG released a minimalist hammer dubbed the I-Hammer. With its modern and sleek design, the I-Hammer is easy to transport and ideal for camping trips.
Its clever design makes it more than just a handy tool as it adds aesthetic value to the user's tool collection. White and metal cuttings make for a unique design that fits perfectly with modern home interiors. In addition, the luxurious product can be hidden in a compact form. With its steering mechanisms, the I-Hammer can be transformed from a hammer to a stick with the simple touch of a button.
The benefit to its transformability is the hammer's easy-to-store ability. The traditionally awkward tool can fit seamlessly into a backpack by modifying its shape from hammer to stick.
