The Design
About Glay 스마트 옷장
Glay는 어린이를 위해 디자인된 스마트 옷장입니다. 본체는 너비 1500mm, 깊이 600mm, 높이 1200mm입니다. 한쪽 문은 전자 종이로 제작되어 그림판, 색칠판, 그리고 간단한 게임을 위한 화면 역할을 합니다. 목재 문 표면에는 블록, 문자, 숫자를 끼울 수 있는 구멍이 있습니다. 프레임을 밖으로 당기면 작은 놀이방이 만들어지며, 테이블과 두 개의 승용 의자가 포함되어 있습니다. 부모는 무선 연결을 통해 문의 패턴을 변경할 수 있어, 아이들은 옷을 정돈된 상태로 유지하면서도 잠자리에 들 시간이 다가오는 것을 알 수 있습니다.

- 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.
