About Castellar Úložný systém pro krejčovské nástroje

Castellar je sada magnetických úložných nádob pro krejčovské nástroje. Nádoby se umísťují na šicí stroj, takže pracovní plocha stolu zůstává během práce volná. Cívky jsou uchyceny v můstkové části, což snižuje potřebný úložný prostor na stole a zajišťuje, že celá sada cívek je připravena pro jeden úkol. Jehly jsou drženy na krabicové části magnetickou silou. Dolů zahnutý kónický tvar umožňuje vyjmutí jehel bez zranění ruky a čtyři plochy oddělují různé typy jehel. Sada je vyrobena vstřikováním plastu s magnety.

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.
