About Cubee Mobîlyaya Modular a Hewadar

Cubee pergalek mobîlyaya modular a hewadar e ku ji bo apartmanên biçûk û cihên hevpar hatiye afirandin. Her modulek bi pompeyeke hewayê tê dagirtin û di nêzîkî deh çirkeyan de digihîje mezinahiya xwe ya tam. Modul dikarin bi tenê bên bikaranîn an jî bi kupên mijandinê yên lastîkî bên girêdan da ku rêkxistinên rûniştinê yên cuda pêk bînin. Astara hundirîn ji plastîka vezîvirandî hatiye çêkirin, û berga qumaşî ya rakirinê bi zencîrekê ve tê girêdan û bi çend reng û materyalan tê pêşkêşkirin. Modul dikarin bên valakirin û bi awayekî rast bên pakkirin, ku ev yek lêçûnên veguhastin û depokirinê kêm dike.

Production Technology
Cubee's production process focuses on sustainability, using transparent recycled plastic for the inflatable liner to minimize environmental impact. The durable, easy-to-clean cloth cover comes in various colors and materials. High-performance rubber suction cups ensure a secure connection between modules. The liner features rapid inflation technology, fully inflating in 10 seconds, making setup quick and simple. The removable cover, attached with a zipper, allows for easy cleaning or replacement.
Design Challenge
One of the main challenges in designing Cubee was ensuring structural stability while maintaining portability and ease of use. Inflatable products need to be durable and airtight over time, especially with frequent use and movement, making air leakage and deformation key concerns. The suction cups underwent extensive testing to guarantee a secure connection and a comfortable user experience. Precise adjustments to the material and shape of the suction cups were needed to balance firmness and flexibility. The hole design in the liner presented additional technical challenges, requiring both structural integrity and functional versatility. Lastly, balancing eco-friendly materials with cost control was crucial, as the design team aimed to keep production costs reasonable without compromising quality or sustainability.
Research
Cubee offers a flexible and innovative solution to the rising demand for space-saving, eco-friendly, and multifunctional furniture. The design team analyzed the market's pain points, particularly the lack of flexibility, sustainability, and portability in traditional furniture. By exploring inflatable technology and modular design, Cubee achieves diverse functionality while prioritizing convenience and environmental impact. The choice of materials and technology ensures both durability and comfort, all while reducing environmental strain.
Inspiration
Cubee's inspiration comes from the increasing tightness of living space and people's demand for multifunctional and flexible furniture. Cubee solves the pain point of inconvenient handling, installation and storage of furniture in small apartments and shared spaces. At the same time, it gives users a more environmentally friendly and convenient living experience. The inflatable design frees furniture from tedious installation and transportation, and can quickly change its use.
Project Duration
The project will start in Shenzhen in December 2023 and be completed in Shenzhen in August 2024.
Operation Flow
Cubee is easy to use. With a simple air pump, users can quickly set up the seat. Each module can be used alone or connected with suction cups to create various furniture configurations. The cloth covers are easily replaced with zippers to suit different occasions. When not in use, the modules can be deflated and stored flat for easy transport or storage. Users become both furniture users and designers, as Cubee transforms from a seating system into an interactive, flexible part of daily home life, adding fun and versatility.
