About Hus Kavos staliukas
„Hus“ yra kavos staliukas, kuris taip pat veikia kaip žaislinis namelis vaikams. Staliuką sudaro du moduliai ir nuimamas paviršius. Kiekvienas modulis atspindi pastato aukštą su langais, laiptais, judinamomis sienomis ir miniatiūriniais baldais. Modulius galima perstumti, pasukti arba atskirti, o kreipiamieji bėgeliai užtikrina jų stabilumą. Tuščias modulis tarnauja kaip saugykla. Apatinė dalis ir kojos pagamintos iš masyvaus ąžuolo, o viršutinė dalis ir paviršius – iš MDF plokštės. Vaikai gali tyrinėti statybinių medžiagų, tokių kaip mediena, betonas ir skaidrios plokštės, tekstūras bei svorį.

- Production Technology
- The table consists of three main pieces. The bottom piece and legs are made of solid oak wood, the upper piece and the top are made of MDF. All small parts (the furniture) are made of solid oak wood and oiled with natural flaxseed oil. The miniature walls are made of concrete, solid oak wood and clear PVC. The window openings are cut with CNC milling machine.
- Design Challenge
- The most important challege was finding materials which would be locally sourced and hand manufactured with attention to detail and quality; and at the same time with finishing that would be safe for children to use (non toxic lacquer, natural flaxseed oil).
- Research
- Wanting to create a worthwhile object for children, I observed groups for 4- to 10-year-olds during constructive play. I noticed that when children are not constrained in their imaginative play, they look down on their created mini-world from above (not from the side). I decided to use this idea and designed an object in which children could play with open space resembling modernist architecture. I made a prototype and allowed children to play with it. The design was well-received by children.
- Inspiration
- I noticed that the market is saturated with low quality plastic toy houses with distorted proportions and chaotic details. I wanted to create an object which could be a worthwhile place to play and learn for children. The form of the table is reminiscent of modernist architecture, which was noteworthy for its open space interiors. This means that the children are not limited to arranging fixed rooms and can use their unconstrained creativity.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Warsaw in January 2016, and was completed in May 2016. It was exhibited at Wawa Desig Festival in Warsaw and at the Institute of Design in Kielce, Poland.
- Operation Flow
- The table consists of two independent modules and a removable table top. The modules can be shifted, turned or separated. It is safe because of guide rails which prevent the modules from falling apart. Each of the two modules represents a floor of a building, with windows, stairs, freely movable walls and furniture. An empty module can be used as storage space.
