Cordaway An imposingly beautiful solution to cable clutter.



Cord clutter goes classy. Walking through a classroom or conference room, it is

all too common to see AV cables strewn across the floor. This is a tripping hazard to users as well as an eyesore.

Cordaway is the simple and practical solution to cable

clutter. Cordaway provides a wall-mountable solution

to tuck a coiled cable neatly out of the way.

Cordaway can find a home in design studios, classrooms,

and offices. It can be appreciated by anyone who is tired

of tripping over cables and wants a beautifully efficient

storage method.

Using the Cordaway is as simple as coiling a

cable and racking it on the outward-flaring,

inward-lowing front flange. The cable will naturally

slide down and into the spacious cradle.

Furthermore, users will be pleased to note

features such as a convenient carrying

handle and opposing convex-concave curves that make it easy to remove the cable for use.



Simple. Elegant. Functional.Essentially, Cordaway provides an effortless user experience that is highly functional, yet beautiful

by design. Cordaway is intended to provide the user with a very emotional visual experience.No matter the viewing angle, Cordaway provides the user with a unique and intriguing aesthetic

experience. Cordaway is made from 100% biodegradable PLA plastic for minimal environmental

impact while maintaining full transparent beauty. Users will appreciate the high level of design

that went into this practical, yet visually stunning device for the studio, office, or home.

WooderBottle The word’s first fully biodegradable disposable water bottle.



Inspired by nature. Made from nature.

100% sourced from a tree, this bottle is made from a completely biodegradable, yet durable and

waterproof, blend of lignin fibers and natural resins. After use, disposal is not a concern, since it

breaks down within weeks upon contact with bacteria in the soil. Additionally,since it is 100% tree-

based, it can be burned as fuel when done. Best of all, it is the world’s first thermoforming wood

material. This means it can be melted and reformed into any shape just like traditional plastics.

Finally, the source material of lignin is the waste byproduct of the paper-making industry, so noadditional deforestation needs to occur.

The disposable plastic bottle is one of the greatest sources of waste and pollution in modern society.

WooderBottle, developed by Rothwell Technologies, LLC. takes a step back to nature’s roots.



Poland Spring beware.

At the same time, this innovative shape allows

for WooderBottle to be fully stackable in three

dimensions. This drastically reduces the amount

of packaging material that is needed, cutting both

costs and waste.

WooderBottle is a win-win for consumers,

industry, and the environment. It allows users

to maintain the sheer convenience of a disposable water bottle without any environmental strings

attached. This is just another example of

cutting-edge products being developed for

marketing by Rothwell Technologies, LLC.

In addition to being fully biodegradable, WooderBottle was designed to be

highly ergonomic. The design is a blended rhomboid, which naturally fits

into the space between the user’s index finger and thumb.



TEX

Tex Innovative shaker bottle with supplement storage in lid.



The new edge on supplementation.Shaker bottles are used around the world by weightlifters, athletes, and people on the go

who want to supplement their beverage of choice with a protein or energy powder. However,current designs are hard to clean, and a hassle to use. It is clinically proven that supplements

are most effective when taken immediately after exercising. However, for users who don’t live

close to the gym, achieving this schedule can be a big challenge.

The Tex shaker bottle changes the paradigm by featuring a fully-enclosed supplement storage

compartment in the lid, sealed by a revolutionary new Aster-whisk design based off of fluid

dynamics. Supplementation with Tex is as easy as pushing a button on the lid.



It just works. A full-scale prototype of Tex was 3D-printed for feasibility tests. It was

fully assembled for ergonomic testing, and for hands-on testing of thesupplement release mechanism. Prototyping was an overwhelming

success, and production and marketing are planned.

There are six main characteristics that truly

define Tex’s design solution: a supplement

storage compartment built into its lid, theunique Aster-Whisk, a push-to-release

supplement trigger, an easy-open lid, an

octagonal shape for enhanced ergonomics,

and a detachable bottom. Altogether, these

features contribute to a product that redefines

the shaker bottle industry.

Individuals who strive to stay active integrate fitness and proper nutrition

into their daily lifestyle. Current shaker bottles rely on user accommodation

to the design deficiencies. Tex’s design identifies these shortages,

establishes new criteria, and simultaneously solves the issues while

redefining user experience with shaker bottle products.
