The project

Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
By observing the living life of people in cities based on the Noldus program, we analyzed and summarized the current situation of people's living space use, and learned the characteristics of people's life and their needs. For the furniture storage function, portability and mobility has become a new concern of people. Based on the research, we designed a small tray that can meet people's diversified living needs and is portable. It can be used indoors as well as outdoors.

By extending the structure of the traditional Chinese fan, the new tray is formed. The Soban can be rolled up for storage, which greatly increases the mobility of the small plate. At the same time, it can express the connotation of traditional culture.

The part of the table top can be created in different styles according to different materials. With different woods of table legs, it forms a variety of combinations of traditional and modern co-existence and has unlimited development possibilities.
