About Pagoda Kabîne

Pagoda kabîneyeke hilanînê ye ku ji şêwaza pagodayên Bûdî îlham girtiye. Her qatek sîwanek (eywan) hildigire, û kabîne bi zivirandin vedibe, ne bi kişandina kêşoyan. Bikarhêner sîwanekê digire û qatê li dora mîheke li piştê dizivirîne, ku ev yek di heman qadê de cîhê hilanînê zêde dike. Qata herî jêrîn kêşoyeke kevneşopî ye bi bilindahiya 15 santîmetreyan, û ev kêşo navenda giraniyê nizim û aram dihêle. Çar tekerên gerdûnî destûrê didin ku kabîne bi hêsanî bê livandin. Laşê kabîneyê ji dara zebrawood a sor hatiye çêkirin.

Unique Properties: It is the cabinet design with a unique modelling. What sets it apart most is its appearance and function. First, this appearance is according to the pagoda, which is unique cabinet in the market. In addition, its open and close means is not a drawer, however the revolving shaft of cabinet backside. The user can open the cabinet according to this axis. This way of opening and closing is not available in the market. This way of opening can also use more space.
Dimensions & Packaging: length 50cm x Width 50cm x Height 76cm

Production Technology: The material of the cabinet is made of red zebra horse wood, which is mainly made from Cameroon and Gabon. The advantages of erythema alba are many. The texture of red zebra is straight, the wood structure is fine, the mineral line is obvious, the fiber contains silica, and the metallic luster is felt. The wood of red zebra is hard and relatively strong physically. It is difficult to cut manually, but the cutting surface is smooth, and the dyeing and polishing performance are good. Wood is more resistant to rot, can resist white rot fungus, heartwood preservative is difficult to soak. Wet board surface easy to lose moisture, will be slightly warped or end crack, after drying wood stability is good. Red spotted horse wood has excellent dyeing and polishing performance and is easy to stain. When making brunet furniture especially, polished face is faintly red, metallic simple sense is very intense.
Design Challenge: This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
Research: According to the data, the market size of the cabinet has been growing steadily since 2015, with an average annual growth rate of about 17%. In 2017, the market size of the domestic locker industry reached 6.61 billion euros, and in 2020, the market size reached 10 billion euros. It's a very big market. Beautiful cabinet is not only a furniture, but also a very good decoration.
Inspiration: I got my inspiration from Buddhist pagodas. The pagoda is a place where Buddhist scriptures are stored, and we used this meaning to design this cabinet. The cabinet is also a product for storing things. Our design motivation was to make traditional symbols as unique as possible in modern products. We changed the way this cabinet opens and closes. Artfully rotated through the shape of the pagoda.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow: Like a pagoda, it has eaves on every floor. When the user is using the cabinet, the cabinet can be opened by grabbing the eaves and rotating it around the axis behind it. First, users can use the pagoda in this way. Secondly, compared with the traditional cabinet, the way of opening and closing can be more open more areas on the space. For details, the bottom layer is a traditional drawer with a height of 15cm. This can ensure the center of gravity of the cabinet is stable. Finally, it is equipped with four universal wheels to facilitate the user to move it.
