About Gere 식기 선반
게레(Gere)는 좁은 주방과 다이닝룸을 위해 디자인된 다기능 식기 선반이다. 게레의 접시들은 선반의 전면을 부조와 같은 형태로 구성하며, 이를 통해 내부 공간은 컵, 유리잔, 그 밖의 식기를 수납할 수 있도록 비워진다. 선반은 오크 원목으로 제작되었으며, 접시는 포슬린(자기)으로 주조되었다. 게레는 벽에 걸어 사용하며, 접시를 꺼내거나 안쪽에 보관된 물건을 집을 때 각 열을 개별적으로 아래로 젖힐 수 있다. 격자 구조는 다양한 가정 환경에 맞춰 크기를 조절할 수 있게 해준다. 식기 세트는 모듈 방식으로 확장이 가능하다.

- Unique Properties
- Gere as the combination of shelf and plates uses its plates to create the relief-like front of the shelf. The thereby free interior space can be used to store more crockery, cups, glasses, etc.
The gridlike structure of Gere allows scalable sizes of the shelf, so that a family can use a bigger Gere than a single household. - Dimensions & Packaging
- Gere-plates: 240mm x 240mm x 20mm
Gere-shelf-prototype: 1200mm x 200mm x 1300mm

- Production Technology
- To enable the functional interaction of shelf and plates, material properties had to be calculated. The shelf of Gere consists out of oak wood, because it is local, sturdy and insensitive against water. The plates of Gere were concepted using 3D-graphic-software and then 3D-printed. The resulting objects were translated to plaster mold and finally cast in porcelain.
- Design Challenge
- The project was created during the first year of the corona pandemic. There were a lot of restrictions on the use of workshops and the purchase of materials. During the process, i was challenged with iterations, new processing techniques such as working with a cnc milling machine and calculating material properties such as porcelain-shrinkage and material waste.
- Research
- During the research process multiple methods such as a survey, a market analysis, interviews with the target group and the user journey map were used.
This resulted in detailed insights about selling points for kitchen-shelfs and plates, storage in kitchens, structuring items in the kitchen and overall interaction points with shelfs and plates. - Inspiration
- Housing is becoming smaller. Space has to be used in a meaningful way. People use minimalism to reduce their possessions and multifunctional products to save space.
The inspiration of the project were small kitchen spaces with large shelfs, filled with staples of round plates that leave lots of unused space. The focus of the project was to create a crockery shelf as small as needed by people in small housing. - Project Duration
- The project started in early summer 2020 in Aachen and finished in September 2020.
- Operation Flow
- Gere is ideally hung on the wall in the kitchen or dining room. Individual rows can be folded down to take stored items out of the inside or to remove a plate from the front. The plates have segments so that the main course and the side dish can be placed separately on one plate and thus be transported easily. In addition to the storage space in the front, there is the option of storing more crockery, cups, glasses, etc. on the shelves behind. The crockery set is modularly expandable.
