About Balanco Virnastatav istumislahendus
Balanco on virnastatavate plokkide komplekt, mis toimib istekoha, laua ja mänguobjektina. Mitmetahulisi plokke saab paigutada, asetada ja virnastada mitmel viisil. Plokkide tasakaalustamine nõuab kannatlikkust ja rahulikkust, mistõttu Balancot saavad kodus jagada nii sõbrad kui ka pereliikmed. Konstruktsioon on vahtplasti baasil ja kergekaaluline ning maatoonides viltviimistlus on pehme puudutada. Plokid on väikelastele ohutud ja jäävad piisavalt tugevaks, et ka täiskasvanud saaksid neil istuda. Erinevad suurused sobivad nii laste kui ka täiskasvanute pikkusele.

- Production Technology
- The lightweight and solid structure makes it suitable and safe for young children. The earth-tone felt finish aims to invite nature vibes into the house. It is soft and comfortable to touch.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge was to create a series of stackable furniture that is lightweight and safe for children even when the blocks topple over. At the same time, it is solid and strong for adults to sit and stand on them. This obstacle was overcomed as we experimented with various materials, details and manufacturing methods.
- Research
- The design intent was to deliver a design with a strong concept, through aesthetic simplicity.
- Inspiration
- With the persistence of the pandemic, staying at home has become a new norm. In most highly populated and dense cities, finding peace and mental wellness can be difficult. Inspired by the pebble towers, Balanco offers a way to find physical and inner balance, while learning to collaborate with others in the process of playing.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2020, and finished in December 2020. It was documented and exhibited as part of the HKTDC's programme in Hong Kong.
- Operation Flow
- Balanco functions as play objects, stools and tables. The varying sizes accommodate the ergonomics and heights from young children to adults.
