About Hanoi Ажыратылуучу диван

Hanoi — жалпак таңгакталууга ылайыкталып жасалган ажыратылуучу диван. Диван куралдарсыз, желимсиз жана металл бөлүктөрсүз болжол менен төрт мүнөттө чогултулат. Төрт бук жыгачынан жасалган тирөөч жыгач негиздеги буралма тешиктерге буралып орнотулат. Андан кийин тыш каптоочу материал менен капталган чалкалагыч жана колдун таянычтары тирөөчтөргө бекитилип, ар бир тирөөчтүн үстүндөгү буралма капкактар менен бекемделет. Эң акырында жаздыктар коюлат. Таңгакталган көлөмү чогултулган дивандын беш бөлүгүнүн эки бөлүгүн түзөт, бул таңгактоо, сактоо жана ташуу чыгымдарын азайтат. Конструкция Ханой мунарасы аттуу баш катырманы эске салат.

Unique Properties
Hanoi Sofa is designed for flat packaging. It can be easily assembled in 4 minutes without any tools or metal parts by attaching the upholstered parts to four wooden pillars. Vice versa, it's also easy to disassemble. The joints between wooden pillars and sofa base are with threads to reinforce the structure. Similarly, the caps at the top of the pillars are also threaded. The volume of the packaged sofa is only 2/5 of an assembled one. It optimizes the cost of package, storage and transportation.
Dimensions & Packaging
Flat packaging size, W2050×D960×H320mm. Assembled sofa size, W2050×D980×H830mm. The volume of the packaged sofa is only 2/5 of an assembled one. It optimizes the cost of package, storage and transportation.

Production Technology
The key structure of Hanoi Sofa is made of beech wood. It's hard enough for us to carve stairs for the wooden pillars and threads for the joints and the caps at the top of the wooden pillars. By rotating the threaded parts, we can get a sturdy structure for the sofa. This interesting structure has been validated through our experiment.
Design Challenge
The most difficult part of this project was to create a simple and interesting assembly method. There were already so many different types of detachable sofas. We had to come up with a structure that was simple, enables mass production, and has not been used on other sofas by anyone else. We did a lot of work on wood construction to ensure that the wood structure can be firmly assembled without tools, glue or metal parts.
Research
Our research is aimed at the furniture market, and we hope to get an innovative sofa product through our project. We collected online information, including user feedback through our e-commerce department and learned that many sofas now are large in size, difficult to assemble, difficult to storage and with other problems. So we designed this sofa to solve these problems.
Inspiration
Tower of Hanoi is a popular intelligence toy worldwide. The process of players moving the rings onto the towers inspired me to design Hanoi Sofa. I want to design a sofa that is easy and fun to assemble, a sofa that can optimize the volume and the cost of package, storage and transportation, and a sofa that is in line with the concept of sustainable design. This interesting structure has been validated through our experiment and the materials are all environmentally friendly.
Project Duration
This project started in Hangzhou in September 2023 and will be completed in Hangzhou in February 2024. The structural testing has been completed and the sofa is scheduled to be launched in May 2024.
Operation Flow
Firstly, we need to rotate the four wooden pillars into the four screw holes in the wood base. Then we attach the backrests and armrests to the four pillars through the holes. Next, it is fixed by the threaded caps at the top of the wooden pillars. Finally, put the cushions on the sofa. So we assembled this sofa easily and quickly without tools or metal parts.
