Torch - Fire Detection Sensor (V0)
The V0 was Torch’s first prototype. I designed it to feel practical and grounded, with just enough refinement to inspire confidence. The split between the dark solar top and the lighter metal body creates a striking material contrast and a strong visual identity. The angled solar surface is fully functional and adds character, giving the device a forward stance without feeling aggressive. The overall form is compact, clean, and easy to understand at a glance. This design helped Torch secure early funding and pre-orders by turning a bold idea into something tangible. Feedback from early users directly shaped the next generation.
