About Rong Tee-Sideboard

Rong ist ein Tee-Sideboard für den Wohnbereich. Rong ist aus nordamerikanischem Schwarznussbaum mit klarer Maserung gefertigt. Eine zweilagige, achteckige Arbeitsplatte und fischgrätförmige Streben gliedern die Funktionsbereiche über die Form. Der Korpus verfügt über Schiebetüren aus Gitterleisten, die entlang einer Laufschiene gleiten, sodass vor dem Möbel kein zusätzlicher Platz benötigt wird. Mehrere Stauraumbereiche halten unterschiedliche Teegeschirre geordnet. Die konkave Oberfläche der Arbeitsplatte sowie der hinter dem Schwerpunkt liegende Druckmittelpunkt verhindern ein Umkippen. Dank einfacher Bauteile können Nutzer das Sideboard selbst montieren.

Tags: Wooden tea sideboard, multifunctional storage, minimalist design, herringbone struts, simple module installation.
Production Technology: North American dark walnut/ wooden grille strip door/ herringbone struts / the integrated design of the countertop/ metal strips
Design Challenge: Compared with homogenized competitors, this product conveys a new interpretation of tea sideboards, showing admiration to simplicity and restraint. By eliminating the bulky square cabinet-style structure, it adopts a double-layer octagonal countertop with the body that has grille strip sliding doors and is supported by herringbone struts on the side to form a unique style. Different functional areas also offer multifunctional storage solutions to satisfy users’ needs.
Research: Traditional wooden home sideboards often have a square and heavy appearance, lacking a sense of mobility. Moreover, their doors are mainly drawn and opened, which takes up a lot of space when opening, making it an improper choice for small-sized dwellings. Thus, the design team chose the refined black walnut and endowed the product with a simple and versatile design. The storage cabinet uses grille strip sliding doors, which can be opened and closed with easy push and pull on both sides.
Inspiration: Inspired by modern tea lovers, the tea sideboard focuses on the aesthetics of the tea-making environment and the storage functions. The team simplified the design with simple components to create an extremely simple and elegant tea sideboard. The overall material adopts North American black walnut with clear wood grains, adding a natural touch. The double-layer countertop and sideboard body ensure sufficient storage space, rendering a sense of order for different tea sets.
Project Duration: Launched in February 2023 and completed in May 2023 in Hangzhou.
Operation Flow: Equipped with grille strip sliding doors, it allows users to easily open and close along the track with the full display of the wood grain. This not only saves the space but also presents a light and elegant beauty. The double-layer countertop treated with a concave surface, and the center of pressure of the countertop positioned behind the center of gravity prevent falling issues. The simple components allow users to assemble the product themselves.
