DESIGN NAME: Offf
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Rack
INSPIRATION: The shelves of our home are always useful for storing various things and also to give a design on our empty walls. The inspiration for the Offf rack was precisely this line of reasoning and utility. The name Offf is well representative. We disconnected the shelves of its walls and brought them down as a rack.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Offf is a wide open rack. It is very transparent visually and also looks like shelves on the floor. You can use it as it pleases you the most. Video games, storage boxes, controls, plants and all you need in the same place and easy to catch.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project is the result of research and trends in the field of architecture and design that encourages us to create and execute. Just as many things inspire us to create new designs, this time it was the shelves that inspired us and made us think of another use. Taking the shelves off the wall and putting them in a rack shape was a lot of fun.
CHALLENGE: The biggest challenge when designing a piece is to think about every aspect of the project. This includes all segments from the execution of the part to the final customer, production, costs, target audience and marketing.
