About Shell Sofa
Shell is 'n omvormbare rusbank wat ontwerp is vir huise en vir openbare ruimtes soos skole en winkelsentrums. Die rugkant van die rusbank is buigsaam en kan met 'n paar eenvoudige bewegings verskuif word. Shell kan gebruik word as 'n rusbank, 'n dubbelsydige rusbank of 'n ottomaan. Die raamwerk is van metaal gemaak en is bedek met stof en 'n sagte vulsel. Die rusbank is 1800 mm lank, 1200 mm hoog en 800 mm diep. Twee kleurweergawes word aangebied: wit en grys met goue kussings, en donkergrys met rooi kussings. Die omvormbaarheid maak dit moontlik dat die rusbank hergebruik kan word wanneer 'n vertrek verander.

- Design Challenge
- To show object transformation capabilities, its universality, reuse. To induce an emotional response from the viewer.
- Research
- Functions: 1. For public spaces in which various events are often held (schools, colleges, shopping centers, exhibition centers). 2. And also for residential small spaces, with the need to change the functions of the room. 3. For standard and large living spaces, so that the design of the sofa allows reuse when changing the design.
- Inspiration
- Marine inhabitants often use shells to change the functions of their bodies. I wanted to use that principle for the couch. By applying a little fantasy, a person can change it and turn into other pieces of furniture. This ability gives positive emotions, and it may be very useful when changing the design or functionality of the room so that a person can use the sofa again. Repeated use of furniture has a great impact on the environment.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2018 in Moscow and finished in May 2018 in Moscow.
- Operation Flow
- A person can have a totally new experience interacting with this piece of furniture. You can use a couple of movements to move the back of the sofa and transform it depending on what you need at the moment: to meet guests, sit down or take a nap.
