About Glay Wardrob Glyfar

Mae Glay yn wardrob glyfar wedi'i chynllunio ar gyfer plant. Mae'r uned yn mesur 1500 mm o led, 600 mm o ddyfnder a 1200 mm o uchder. Mae un drws wedi'i wneud â phapur electronig ac yn gwasanaethu fel bwrdd tynnu lluniau, bwrdd lliwio a sgrin ar gyfer gemau syml. Mae wyneb pren y drws arall yn cynnwys tyllau ar gyfer blociau adeiladu, llythrennau a rhifau. Mae ffrâm yn tynnu allan i ffurfio ystafell chwarae fach, ac mae bwrdd a dwy gadair farchogaeth wedi'u cynnwys. Gall rhieni newid patrymau'r drws trwy gysylltiad diwifr, fel y gall plant weld pryd mae amser gwely'n agosáu tra'n cadw'r dillad yn daclus.

Production Technology
The e door corroborated with E ink Cor. using e paper in the new area of kids furniture which is not often considered. It can be used as a drawing board, coloring board with bear patterns and shooting games. The wood surface of the door has holes for playing blocks, training logical thinking from 2D to 3D or practice numbers and the alphabet with it.
Design Challenge
Using e paper on the surface made this project big enough to need a team of engineers and carpentors to work with, challenging their abilities and overcoming their reluctance to deal with Glay, which became a learning experience for all involved.
Research
As a parent, the designer was focusing on how to introduce technology and digital things to children without missing the experience of real objects in their lives. He decided to use time as the topic on the digital door, to help children understand how fast the time passes by.
Inspiration
The designer showed his daughter a draft for a children's closet but she rejected it saying she wants a closet to play with as well as to keep her clothes tidy. While avoiding overuse of digitalization, Glay brings back the real touch and feel mechanics that naturally attract children's interests. By design the digital connects with the real life interaction.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2017 in Taipei and finished in April 2018 in Taipei, and was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2018, Milan, Italy. At 2019, it was awarded by Good Design Award Chicago, U.S.A.
Operation Flow
Through blue tooth, parents can control the digital door color and patterns. The house work timer function could be arranged in the phone calendar as well. The designer wants to let kids know their sleep time is close by seeing the changing patterns on the door.
