About Accordio ペットハウス
Accordioは、シリコン製のポータブルペットハウスです。軽量なボディはアコーディオンのように折りたためるため、アウトドアや旅行の際にも手軽に持ち運べます。シリコン素材の表面はお手入れも簡単です。両サイドから押し込むことで、ハウスは元のサイズの6分の1にまで圧縮されます。8つの補強されたマグネット式フレームが構造的な安定性をもたらすとともに、折りたたんだ状態をしっかりと保持し、フラットでコンパクトな形状を維持します。ファブリック製のクッションは折りたたんだハウスの内側に収まり、快適に持ち運ぶことができます。

- Production Technology
- Accordio is made with silicone. Each magnetic frame (a total of 8) is reinforced for structural stability. Once collapsed, these frames adhere each other and keep it compact and portable.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge was how to keep accordio in a flattened shape when it is collapsed. Several ways were explored such as snap buttons, strap and etc. Amongst them, magnetic frames were chosen to be an ideal solution as they could provide structural stability as well as visual clarity.
- Research
- Accordio is a design study about portable pet houses. The design explores the use of silicone for pet housing. The light-weighted and safe nature of silicone provides many potentials for a portable pet house.
- Inspiration
- Accordio was first inspired by my niece's silicone bowl plate. I was intrigued by its flexibility and portability. After some research, I found that silicone also has a fascinating collapsible feature, which was later adopted into a foldable house.
- Project Duration
- The project started in June 2020 in Calgary, Canada and finished in July 2020 in Banff, Canada.
- Operation Flow
- This silicone house can be compressed in a 1/6 size by pushing both sides. A fabric cushion can be conveniently fit into the collapsed form for portability.
