3 Khan Multifunctional Kids Product

The 3 Khan is a multifunctional product designed to transform into three different configurations—a single table, a double table, and a wooden cottage. Children, with the guidance of parents or educators, can actively participate in assembling and transforming the product, enhancing their engagement and curiosity.

Whether playing with a friend or sitting with an adult, the child can enjoy group activities such as drawing, storytelling, playtime, or shared meals. The puzzle-like assembly keeps the child’s mind curious and engaged. This hands-on interaction strengthens both cognitive and practical skills while introducing children to basic mechanical concepts through safe and playful work with tools and connectors.

Our Core Purpose

Our main goal is to foster meaningful interaction between children and their parents while introducing young minds to ancient cultural heritage. This is achieved through the hand-painted illustrations on the product, inspired by epic stories from the Shahnameh—The Book of Kings, an epic work of Persian literature. These visual narratives naturally spark curiosity in children and encourage parents to share the stories behind them, deepening emotional bonds and communication within the family.

In today’s world, where children’s technical and hands-on abilities are in decline, this design intentionally focuses on reviving those skills. With the help of parents or educators, children are encouraged to explore and utilize the product in its various configurations.

Along with developing a personal brand, a key objective is to attract investors for the production and commercialization of the product.

We have always aimed for the 3 Khan product to be more than just an entertainment tool. In Iran, the education surrounding the Shahnameh has often been overlooked, despite it being one of the most important and influential works in Persian literature, composed over a thousand years ago in the 10th century AD. Beyond its crucial role in preserving the Persian language, the Shahnameh contains many moral and educational tales.In our product, we have selected age-appropriate stories for children, such as the birth of Rostam, the Seven Labors (Haft Khan) of Rostam, and the legendary Simorgh, who plays a key role in helping the hero. These stories are not only exciting and imaginative, but they are also rich in symbolic meaning: Rostam represents bravery and resilience, Simorgh embodies wisdom and nurturing care. As the protector and guide, she is illustrated larger to visually emphasize her central role in the child’s imaginary journey. and the Haft Khan symbolizes personal growth and the confrontation of challenges.To make these stories relatable to children, we consulted with professional writers and incorporated motifs from traditional Iranian art. We also used a color palette inspired by Persian miniature painting, which is bright, expressive, and emotionally engaging for children.Additionally, Iran has a traditional art form called Naqqali, in which a storyteller performs Shahnameh tales in a dramatic and engaging manner. In our design, the role of the storyteller is given to the child’s family, allowing parents or caregivers to narrate the engraved stories on the product, shaped by their own values and parenting styles. This cultural layering allows the product to function not only as a toy but also as a bridge between generations, heritage, and learning.

We prioritized both the manufacturing process and ease of assembly. We explored several connection concepts before arriving at our final solution. This idea was inspired by principles from fixture design in manufacturing engineering, which significantly influenced our approach. We selected aluminum as the primary material because it allows for efficient production through extrusion methods. To ensure stability, we carefully calculated and tested the engagement length between the wooden components and the connectors. Importantly, we also accounted for appropriate clearance in these calculations to guarantee a smooth and straightforward assembly process.

Since the child cannot assemble the product alone, they need their parents' assistance, which naturally encourages interaction between them. Furthermore, the assembly process is straightforward because it does not involve numerous screws, bolts, or complex components, making it neither time-consuming nor frustrating. As the child actively participates in assembling the 3 Khan product and sees results quickly, their enthusiasm and self-confidence increase. The ability to create different configurations depending on how the parts are assembled keeps the product fresh and engaging for the child, stimulating their mind.In terms of storytelling elements, the 3 Khan product features various illustrations with different designs and colors. This often sparks the child's curiosity, prompting questions such as: Who is this character? Why is she here? Why is her hair reaching down the tower walls? Such questions lead to meaningful conversations between the child and their parents. These interactions become gateways to storytelling, where parents recount the legendary tales behind the illustrations. In many cases, the child’s interest extends beyond the initial story, motivating them to ask about what happened before or after, thereby fostering a deeper connection to Persian literature, especially the Shahnameh.
