About The Board لوح تزلج

"ذا بورد" هو لوح تزلج قابل للطي، صُمّم لتسهيل الحمل والتخزين. يتكوّن سطح اللوح من 57 مفصلاً محورياً متشابكاً. وعند طي المفاصل في اتجاه أو آخر، يتحول الشكل الكلاسيكي للوح "الكروزر" إلى دائرة مثالية. وفي هيئته الدائرية، يتسع "ذا بورد" داخل حقيبة الظهر، ويمكن الاحتفاظ به في الأماكن الضيقة أو عرضه كقطعة زخرفية في المنزل. وقد استُخدم الألمنيوم والحديد والبلاستيك في تصنيعه. وتمنح عملية التحول هذه التصميم جاذبية بصرية واضحة.

Design Challenge
Biggest challenges was manufacturing its complex dynamic structure and is considering open-sourcing the design as a DIY kit for 3D printers.
Research
Transformation is not just the change in appearance, but also the consideration of factors such as space, time, and circumstance to strengthen the purpose of transformation and the psychological level. In today’s product design, in order to make transformable products satisfy the users’ need, the designers usually introduce the transformable features to make them easy to carry and multifunctional simultaneously.
Inspiration
Most of the users have the stereotype in the usage of the products. If we get rid of the general form changing, there will be a different scenario for the users. The form changing process gives the users visual feeling and the intensity of it will be different depend on the various structures.
Project Duration
The design start in 2018 finish in 2019 July.
Operation Flow
The skateboard is made from 57 interlocking pivot hinges, by folding the hinges one direction or the other, transforming the classic cruiser shape into a perfect circle. Easy to fit in smaller places and even used for decoration.
