About Sofan Kokkupandav Laud

Kombineerides kasutajakultuuri ja käitumist, kujundatakse traditsioonilise Sobani funktsionaalsed ja esteetilised elemendid ümber, et need sobiksid kaasaegse elukultuuriga ning toodete arendamiseks ja tootmiseks kasutatakse uusi materjale ja tehnoloogiaid. Vastandudes inimeste käitumisomaduste muutumisele erinevatel perioodidel, on kauakestev mööbel ajatu ning suudab realiseerida ka mööblidisaini ja -kasutuse jätkusuutlikku arengut.

Production Technology
The table body material is made of toon wood, and the parts of the table top are separated by cnc cutting technology, and the different parts are linked by steel pipes inside.
Design Challenge
Through the analysis of the user's needs, the high repetition of user behavior resulting in the repetition of movement lines, as well as user storage problems and other furniture use characteristics , proposed to achieve the function of nomadic furniture through the Furniture Design Using Pattern. At the same time, combined with the design theory, the structure, function, and use form of the table are designed. Through several derivations, the size and structure of the “sofan” were finally determined.
Research
By observing the life of Chinese residents in Beijing, we analyzed the living environment of Chinese people based on Noldus software, and after understanding the habits and daily needs of Chinese people, we studied the behavior of space, time, and users. It is found that mobility and portable furniture are the new needs of people, so the design of this furniture is proposed
Inspiration
With the changing dwelling lifestyle, the typical sitting culture furniture, such as Soban, is still frequently used in contemporary life. Furniture has always been a medium to showcase the human way of life, and we can understand that era's culture and social structure through furniture. The Soban has changed from a necessity with a transport and dining table function to auxiliary furniture in contemporary life. Therefore, the design of modern Soban needs to be reconsidered the culture and behavior of the users so that it can meet the modern lifestyle.
Project Duration
The project started in March 2022 and finished in September 2022 in Seoul
Operation Flow
By folding the table, it is possible to achieve convenient storage of the table. The table can be used both indoors and outdoors depending on the variety of materials.
