| DESIGN NAME: Elves PRIMARY FUNCTION: Camping Accessories INSPIRATION: Glamping is an activity that can be financially out of reach for many. “Elves” elevates the camping experience through simple pleasures that are created through diversified outdoor activities. Today's busy lifestyle can make eating together a challenge, but the benefits of gathering as a family are worth the effort. “Elves” encourages us to gather around the campfire and around the dinner table, satisfying the fundamental need of communal belonging that we all share. It's what makes us “human”. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: "Elves" is a camping accessory set that offers sustainable design solutions for users that are conscientious about their carbon footprint and the impacts on the environment. At the heart is a re-imagined fireplace that runs on solar energy and is designed to provide a new experience, complete with an area to roast marshmallows. After all, sustainability needs the products in the set to help provide a positive camping experience in nature, without creating more CO2 emissions by doing so. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: “Elves” has lights embedded in the S’more Pit, Coffee Brewer, Tableware, and Hanging Light, “Elves” creates a strong ambiance in nature, replacing the table cloth through decorative light patterns. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started and finished in Fall,2020, in China |

I interviewed 5 glampers and campers, plus one expert who owns a glampground. The method I used in the interviews is card sorting, timeline, and Dixit deck. The insight I got is: lighting is essential to a campground. People care about whether it is photogenic because they want to post glamorous experiences on social media. CHALLENGE: It is a challenge to balance the simplicity of camping gear and the romantic of the ambiance lighting.
