About Berkley Meubelkolleksje
Berkley is in meubelkolleksje dy't in bystabeltsje, in kofjetafel, in hoektafel en in televyzjekast omfettet. De kolleksje is makke fan spaanplaat en stiisbûzen. Underdielen wurde ferbûn troch twarjochtingsskroeven en plestik skroeven boppe-oan, sadat de montaazje mei de hân dien wurdt, sûnder ark. Stoffen koeren kinne opfâldwurde foar opbergjen en op ferskillende posysjes pleatst wurde. It platte-ferpakkingsformaat ferminderet it ferstjoerfolume en de kosten. Dielde komponinten troch de hiele kolleksje hinne helpe de produksjekosten leech te hâlden. Strakke linen jouwe de stikken in minimalistysk uterlik.

- Production Optimized, Flat Pack, Easy Assembly, Adequate storage
- Production Technology
- The Berkley range of furniture is made entirely from chipboard and steel tubing, which ensures product quality while keeping production costs under control. To reduce the size of the package, the fabric baskets can also be folded for storage. The components of the entire range are connected by two-way screws and plastic screws at the top, making it easy to assemble by hand without tools.
- Design Challenge
- Ensuring stability and production costs while enabling tool-free assembly was the main challenge for this concept. As a solution, we used tougher steel tubes and chipboard to address stability issues. In addition, sharing components throughout the range was also a solution to reduce costs.
- Research
- Many companies prioritise low-cost products, which often means limited development budgets and cost-cutting at every stage. It is therefore a challenge to incorporate a tool-free installation concept into budget furniture. The aim of this concept is to demonstrate that tool-free installation concepts and financial gains can indeed coexist if the focus is on optimising design and production, even if the user's assembly experience is optimised and production costs are not increased.
- Inspiration
- The Berkley furniture series aims to simplify assembly by eliminating the need for tools. Recognizing that online furniture buyers often struggle with time-consuming and error-prone assembly processes, the design prioritizes ease and efficiency. Through hand-twisting to connect plates and steel tubes, the furniture achieves stability, durability, and enhanced storage capacity.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2024 and was completed in July 2024 in Shenzhen, China.
- Operation Flow
- The Berkley range of furniture is designed for quick assembly and disassembly. The whole structure can be easily assembled with a simple twist of the hand, ensuring stability without the need for complicated tools. Fitted with fabric baskets that can be placed in different positions depending on the use.
