About Compact Folio Set Miwwelen

An de leschte Joren hunn ëmmer méi Leit zu Taiwan decidéiert kleng Haiser ze kafen, wéinst dem Drock vun den Immobiliepräisser. Als Äntwert op d'Bedierfnesser vun de Bewunner vu klenge Haiser gouf e Miwwelset mat Späicherfunktiounen entwéckelt, deen Falt- an Deformatiounstechniken benotzt. Dëst innovativt Produkt erfëllt net nëmmen déi praktesch Bedierfnesser vun de Bewunner vu klenge Haiser, mä erlaabt hinnen och eng komfortabel Fräizäit an engem limitéierte Raum ze erliewen. Duerch d'Maximiséierung vun der Funktionalitéit an dem Komfort weist dëse Miwwelset wéi duerchduechten Design kleng Wunnraim a gemittlech an effizient Ëmfeld transforméiere kann.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: In response to the needs of small house residents, a furniture set with storage function is designed through folding and deformation techniques. The product not only meet the needs of small house residents but also allow these users to experience comfortable leisure time in a limited space.
Dimensions & Packaging: 400 mm x 430 mm x 420 mm
Tags: Authentic, Delicate, Precise, Light weight, Compact
Production Technology: Lightweight pine wood panels are used as the main material, and the fabric is gray cotton and linen. The fabric is soft, comfortable and breathable, and the textile texture and color are suitable for combination with wood materials.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge is that I want to design a seat that is foldable and easy to manufacture. Initially, I tried using ropes to support the body weight. Later, I used the tension generated by a person sitting on the fabric to prevent the chair back from falling backward. At the same time, we tested using different materials as the connecting parts at the bends.
Research: In the beginning, I collected and studied numerous pieces of knowledge and ideas about the traditional technique of Chinese tenon joints through books. The next step to know better about the tenon joint was to learn how to perform this technique from a woodcraft master. After the training, I started to seek how I can utilize the technique to help others by surfing the internet.
Inspiration: I am fascinated by the calculation and processing precision required for this traditional craft of woodworking joints, and the final product that is presented. In recent years, due to the pressure of housing prices in Taiwan, more and more people have chosen to buy small houses. Based on this trend, I design wooden furniture that meets the needs of the residents of these small houses.
Project Duration: The project started in August 2024 in Taiwan and finished in january 2025 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Pull the chair out from the table, next expand the back and seat. Finally adjust the backrest angle through the velcro on the backrest.
