About Elves Conjunt d'accessoris de càmping

Elves és un conjunt d'accessoris de càmping dissenyat per reduir l'impacte ambiental. El conjunt inclou un braser alimentat per energia solar, una cafetera de degoteig, vaixella i un llum penjant. El braser ofereix un espai per torrar núvols i es plega per facilitar-ne el transport. Cada peça porta llums incorporats, que formen patrons decoratius que substitueixen les estovalles i creen ambient un cop es fa fosc. Els productes es fabriquen amb fusta de roure, acer i PLA, mentre que l'embalatge és de cartró prim. El conjunt convida les famílies a reunir-se a l'aire lliure sense generar emissions de carboni.

Design Challenge: It is a challenge to balance the simplicity of camping gear and the romantic of the ambiance lighting.
Research: In order to elevate the camping experience, I researched about both camping and glamping. I interviewed 5 glampers and campers, plus one expert who owns a glampground. The method I used in the interviews is card sorting, timeline, and Dixit deck. The insight I got is: lighting is essential to a campground. People care about whether it is photogenic because they want to post glamorous experiences on social media.
Inspiration: Glamping is an activity that can be financially out of reach for many. “Elves” elevates the camping experience through simple pleasures that are created through diversified outdoor activities. Today's busy lifestyle can make eating together a challenge, but the benefits of gathering as a family are worth the effort. “Elves” encourages us to gather around the campfire and around the dinner table, satisfying the fundamental need of communal belonging that we all share. It's what makes us “human”.
Project Duration: The project started and finished in Fall,2020, in China
Operation Flow: “Elves” has lights embedded in the S’more Pit, Coffee Brewer, Tableware, and Hanging Light, “Elves” creates a strong ambiance in nature, replacing the table cloth through decorative light patterns.
