| DESIGN NAME: Kite PRIMARY FUNCTION: Music Stand and Book stand INSPIRATION: Music is like a kite, free but also bond to the earth. It goes anywhere it wants to be but never leaves where it is originated. Kite will never fly high without a strong support of the string that tights to it and an optimized structure that maximize its movement. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Kite Music Stand carries an imagination of music and transforms to a geometry structure. Kite Music Stand uses an unique design by leveraging magnetic force between metal balls and table top, the balls could be moved to any position on the table and stabilize different sizes of music sheets. The stand blends in any type of rooms, it could act as a tool or a piece of art. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: - PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2015 in Rochester and completed in 2018 in Palo Alto. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Phenolic resin balls, Oak, Magnet SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 76mm x Depth 52mm x Height 106mm TAGS: Furniture, book stand, music stand, structure, sculpture RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Kite Music Stand is an unique design combining the magnetic balls and the surface of the stand top in which the balls could move to any locations on the surface effortlessly to hold music sheets or books of any sizes. The idea is to create a new form of music stand that is more flexible when accepting different sheets but also outstanding as a piece of furniture. CHALLENGE: Music stand is rarely the topic being explored in the furniture world. I learned from my previous experience that the existing music stands are either not flexible enough to take all kinds of music sheets or designed as a piece of decorative furniture, but musicians deserve something better. The challeng es of the design are in finding the right materials and how to maximize the angles of the placement. With magnets, the challenges have been resolved: it is free to be placed on any locations and it has the right power of force to hold the music sheets.
