Project Details

Hooke Park, UK

2014

  • Concept

    Polycarbonate sheets were selected as the material of choice for this prototype, as a part of the client's requirement for the furniture to be flat-packed and affordable.

  • Prototype II

    It was a further development on the drawbacks of Prototype I, which treated the skin and the structure as 2 separate entities, making it unstable structurally and reducing the storage space.

  • Prototype Il

    Prototype Il was developed to integrate the skin and the structure with a simple notch and Velcro system - making the furniture act as one system and reducing the amount of structure required to take the weight of the books and the child.

  • Connections

    The simple yet playful connection details were designed so that a child could also help in the assembly of the furniture. The snap-on buckle like connections make for easy assembly and dismantling of the furniture.
