About Toast مبل ماژولار
تاست یک مبل ماژولار است که برای مونتاژ بدون نیاز به ابزار طراحی شده است. پایه آن از قطعات چوب جامد به شکل I و L با شیارهایی تشکیل شده که با اتصال جفت‌وجورشونده به یکدیگر متصل می‌شوند. پشتی و بالشتک‌های نشیمن، ماژول‌های جداگانه‌ای هستند که در شیارهای پایه قرار می‌گیرند. اتصالات فولاد ضدزنگ، ماژول‌ها را به هم متصل کرده و امکان ترکیب‌های گوناگون را فراهم می‌کنند. پایه چوب جامد از اتصالات زبانه و خانه‌زبانه برای استحکام بهره می‌برد و با روغن موم چوب سازگار با محیط‌زیست پرداخت شده است. قطعات آسیب‌دیده را می‌توان به‌صورت جداگانه تعویض کرد که این ویژگی عمر مفید مبل را افزایش داده و از تولید زباله مبلمان می‌کاهد.

- Production Technology
- The solid wood base is spliced with mortise and tenon joint to ensure strength. The surface of it is treated with food-grade environmentally friendly wood wax oil to preserve the original texture of the wood, and to be in line with the concept of sustainable design. Metal fittings are CNC machined from stainless steel with polished surface while elastic knitted fabrics are available in a wide range of colors.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge encountered in the development of the project was the connection between the various modules and the tolerance design of the components. It was necessary to ensure the stability of the sofa as well as easy assembly and disassembly. Another challenge was to do with the company's sales strategy. which required a shift in thinking to sell not only the whole product but also the components, to facilitate the future maintenance of the product.
- Research
- We have researched and analyzed the current situation of used furniture market, online trading platform and furniture recycling business in Hangzhou, China. Through over a thousand online questionnaires, field visits to users and interviews with relevant furniture enterprises, it is found that repairing and recycling old furniture is costly and the transportation is difficult. In this regard, we proposed our design focusing on the recycling of used furniture.
- Inspiration
- Sofas that are partially broken can no longer be used and are too costly to repair, so they have to be discarded. Furniture waste is large in size and extremely difficult and costly to handle with. A large amount of furniture waste causes serious resource waste and environmental pollution. Based on the concept of sustainable development, Toast Sofa aims to extend the service life of the product, reduce the cost of maintenance, and reduce the discarding and waste of furniture.
- Project Duration
- The project started in September 2023 in Hangzhou and finished in December 2023 in Hangzhou.
- Operation Flow
- The Toast Sofa is designed for tool-free assembly. The base of the sofa consists of "I" and "L" shaped wooden blocks with grooves, allowing the user to install them by plugging. The backrest and seat cushion are individual modules that are inserted into the grooves on the base. By simply inserting the metal fittings into the base, each module can be easily connected to each other to form various combinations.
