About The Board Skateboard

Ang The Board usa ka mapilo nga skateboard nga gidisenyo para sa sayon nga pagdala ug pagtipig. Ang deck hinimo gikan sa 57 ka nagsumpay-sumpay nga pivot hinges. Pinaagi sa pagpilo sa mga bisagra sa usa ka direksyon o sa lain, ang klasikong porma sa cruiser mausab ngadto sa usa ka hingpit nga lingin. Sa lingin nga porma, ang The Board mahaom sa usa ka backpack ug mahimong tipigan sa sigpit nga mga lugar o ipasundayag isip usa ka dekorasyon sa balay. Aluminum, puthaw ug plastik ang gigamit sa paghimo niini. Ang proseso sa pagbag-o naghatag sa disenyo og klarong biswal nga kaanyag.

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

Project Duration
The design start in 2018 finish in 2019 July.
Operation Flow
