About Castellar Naaldwerkgereedskap-opberging

Castellar is 'n stel magnetiese opbergingshouers vir naaldwerkgereedskap. Die houers word op die naaimasjien geplaas, sodat die werkoppervlak skoon bly tydens werk. Spoele word in die brugafdeling gehou, wat die opbergingsarea wat op die tafel benodig word, verminder en 'n volledige groep spoele gereed hou vir een taak. Naalde word deur magnetiese krag op die boksafdeling vasgehou. 'n Afwaartse holronde keël maak dit moontlik om naalde uit te haal sonder om die hand seer te maak, en vier oppervlaktes skei verskillende naaldtipes. Die stel word vervaardig deur plastiekinspuitgieting met magnete.

The shuttles are stored in the the bridge part, reduces the storage area of the desk, and they can put a group of shuttles which needed one time. The needles are adsorbed on the box part by magnetic force, and the downward concave cone prevents users' hands from being stabbed when taking out the needles, and classify different needles with four surfaces.

Design Challenge
There are so many kinds of tailoring tools and accessories are being used during work, so it took me a lot time to classified them and observe the timing they are used and the way they are taken, and finally find a suitable way to store them.
Research
The tailor ladies are the historical significance and a common memories of everyone in Taiwan. According to my survey research, Taiwanese generally respect the traditional tailor's profession, but most people's impression of them is crowded space and messy table, which leading to the low willingness to learn among young people, end up emerging industrial age faults. Therefore, I want to to create an orderly and convenient working environment through integrating the storage of appliances, improving not only the efficiency but also their professional image.
Inspiration
The tailor ladies are the historical significance and a common memories of everyone in Taiwan. I want to create an orderly and convenient working environment through integrating the storage of appliances, and improve not only the efficiency but also the professional image of tailor ladies. During research, I found that the tailors tend to put objects on the sewing machine and set notes on it with a magnet, and since the tailoring tools are mostly made with stainless steel, I decided to use the space above the machine, combined with magnetic to do more effective storage.
Project Duration
The project is started in Taiwan from Sep. 2017 and to Jan. 2018.
Operation Flow
I found that the tailors tend to put objects on the sewing machine and set notes on it with a magnet, and the tailoring tools are mostly made with stainless steel, so I decided to use the space above the machine, combined with magnetic to do more effective storage, improving not only the efficiency but also the professional image of tailors.
