RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Nowadays, the home environment is increasingly pursuing the removal of room boundaries. Especially after the epidemic, people also want a free and open space and atmosphere at home, so furniture is becoming more and more flexible and lightweight. We used thin iron pipes and wooden boards to design an exquisite shelf using the most conventional materials through calculation to meet the needs of different spaces, different families, and different scenes.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge in researching products is that we reasonably plan the usage sizes of the products. Through research on the sizes of books, magazines, decorative parts, potted plants, game consoles, DVDs, PS4, XBOX and other products of different sizes, we calculate the most reasonable and optimal size. The streamlined division method can meet the needs of placing items in different spaces. The simple and detachable form allows users to quickly install, DIY at home to enhance the fun and use experience, and better integrate into various locations in the home environment.
