About Glay Älykäs vaatekaappi
Glay on lapsille suunniteltu älykäs vaatekaappi. Kaapin mitat ovat 1500 mm leveyttä, 600 mm syvyyttä ja 1200 mm korkeutta. Yksi ovista on valmistettu elektronisesta paperista, ja se toimii piirustustauluna, värityskirjana ja näyttönä yksinkertaisille peleille. Puisessa ovipinnassa on reikiä rakennuspalikoita, kirjaimia ja numeroita varten. Ulosvedettävä kehikko muodostaa pienen leikkihuoneen, johon kuuluvat pöytä ja kaksi keinuvaa tuolia. Vanhemmat voivat muuttaa oven kuvioita langattoman yhteyden kautta, jolloin lapset näkevät nukkumaanmenoajan lähestymisen samalla kun vaatteet pysyvät siisteissä paikoissa.

- 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.
