About Elves Kete Taputapu Puni

Ko Elves he kete taputapu puni i hoahoatia hei whakaiti i te pānga ki te taiao. Kei roto i te kete he rua ahi e whakahaerea ana e te rā, he tao kawhe maturuturu, he taputapu kai me te rama iri. Ka whakaratohia e te rua ahi tētahi wāhi hei tunu i ngā matiwaru, ā, ka kōpiri iho mō te kawe. Kua whakauruhia he rama ki ia wāhanga, e hanga ana i ngā tauira whakapaipai hei whakakapi i te tāora tēpu me te whakaputu i te āhua i muri i te pōuritanga. He rākau ōki, he maitai me te PLA e whakamahia ana mō ngā hua, me te papa kāri angiangi mō te whakapaipai. Ka pōwhiri te kete i ngā whānau kia hui ki waho me te kore e tāpiri i ngā tukunga waro.

Design Challenge: It is a challenge to balance the simplicity of camping gear and the romantic of the ambiance lighting.
Research: In order to elevate the camping experience, I researched about both camping and glamping. I interviewed 5 glampers and campers, plus one expert who owns a glampground. The method I used in the interviews is card sorting, timeline, and Dixit deck. The insight I got is: lighting is essential to a campground. People care about whether it is photogenic because they want to post glamorous experiences on social media.
Inspiration: Glamping is an activity that can be financially out of reach for many. “Elves” elevates the camping experience through simple pleasures that are created through diversified outdoor activities. Today's busy lifestyle can make eating together a challenge, but the benefits of gathering as a family are worth the effort. “Elves” encourages us to gather around the campfire and around the dinner table, satisfying the fundamental need of communal belonging that we all share. It's what makes us “human”.
Project Duration: The project started and finished in Fall,2020, in China
Operation Flow: “Elves” has lights embedded in the S’more Pit, Coffee Brewer, Tableware, and Hanging Light, “Elves” creates a strong ambiance in nature, replacing the table cloth through decorative light patterns.
