About Glay Slim Klerekas

Glay is 'n slim klerekas ontwerp vir kinders. Die eenheid is 1500 mm breed, 600 mm diep en 1200 mm hoog. Een deur is gemaak met elektroniese papier en dien as 'n tekenbord, 'n inkleurbord en 'n skerm vir eenvoudige speletjies. Die houtdeuroppervlak het gaatjies vir boublokke, letters en syfers. 'n Raam trek uit om 'n klein speelkamer te vorm, en 'n tafel en twee ryklaarstoele word ingesluit. Ouers kan die deurpatrone deur 'n draadlose skakel verander, sodat kinders kan sien wanneer slaaptyd naby is, terwyl klere netjies gehou word.

Production Technology: The e door corroborated with E ink Cor. using e paper in the new area of kids furniture which is not often considered. It can be used as a drawing board, coloring board with bear patterns and shooting games. The wood surface of the door has holes for playing blocks, training logical thinking from 2D to 3D or practice numbers and the alphabet with it.
Design Challenge: Using e paper on the surface made this project big enough to need a team of engineers and carpentors to work with, challenging their abilities and overcoming their reluctance to deal with Glay, which became a learning experience for all involved.
Research: As a parent, the designer was focusing on how to introduce technology and digital things to children without missing the experience of real objects in their lives. He decided to use time as the topic on the digital door, to help children understand how fast the time passes by.
Inspiration: The designer showed his daughter a draft for a children's closet but she rejected it saying she wants a closet to play with as well as to keep her clothes tidy. While avoiding overuse of digitalization, Glay brings back the real touch and feel mechanics that naturally attract children's interests. By design the digital connects with the real life interaction.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2017 in Taipei and finished in April 2018 in Taipei, and was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2018, Milan, Italy. At 2019, it was awarded by Good Design Award Chicago, U.S.A.
Operation Flow: Through blue tooth, parents can control the digital door color and patterns. The house work timer function could be arranged in the phone calendar as well. The designer wants to let kids know their sleep time is close by seeing the changing patterns on the door.
