About Free and Easy Molberts

Free and Easy ir molberts, kas paredzēts nelielām studijām, mākslas klasēm un skicēšanai brīvā dabā. Parastie trīsstūrveida molberti aizņem vietu uzglabāšanas un transportēšanas laikā, kā arī bloķē redzamību starp māksliniekiem un pasniedzējiem. Free and Easy salocītā veidā iegūst plakanu un kompaktu formu, kas ietaupa vietu un samazina transportēšanas izmaksas. Rāmis izgatavots no koka un neilona konstrukcijas plastmasas, izmantojot metāla stiprinājumus un magnētus. Divi plastmasas riteņi ļauj regulēt zīmēšanas dēļa augstumu. Kombinēts kastes vāks un palete nodrošina gleznošanas piederumu ērtu pieejamību.

Production Technology: The frame of the easel is made of two materials, one is made of wood, the other is made of nylon engineering plastic. It also has metal fasteners and magnets as accessories.
Design Challenge: In the process of lightweight easel design, based on ergonomics and guided by the design concept of product design, the designer combines the manufacturer's production demand with the user's use demand to conduct a comprehensive analysis and research on the structure, function, material, user interaction and other aspects of the easel. The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a reasonable way in it’s appearance which is satisfying in function at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching and discussing of our project, we finally find the proper selection which achieves the desired effect.
Research: As an important part of painting tools, easel is an indispensable tool for every painting enthusiast and professional workers. By observing the market of painting supplies, you can easily find that the renewal and iteration of painting related products are very slow, many painting products lack of revolutionary ideas and product upgrading. Based on the market research and field visit of easel, designers puts forward a solutions, that is Free and Easy , to the existing problems of easel products from the perspective of productization.
Inspiration: At present, similar easels waste a lot of space for gathering and storage, inconvenient transportation and cost increase, especially for schools and arts studios. Also, during using time, the existing triangle easels block space, is really affects the sight artists and tutorship of teachers. Free and Easy is a solution for these problems and also can be used in outdoor sketching. It is really easy for users to curry with and also has reasonable space for color palette and painting tools.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2019 in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in January 2020 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
Operation Flow: When users want to raise the height of their drawing board, they only need to adjust the left and right plastic wheels used to control the bracket. Picture box cover plate and color palette combined in one of the design not only save space but also makes users more easier in taking their placed painting material. On the support bar of the easel, the position limit Angle of the u-shaped metal clip is placed on the top of the support bar.
