Production Technology
With the rising popularity of multi-user products, this item is designed to meet the diverse needs of children. Its main structure is made of plywood, with hand-painted images from the Shahnameh(The Book of Kings; an epic work of Persian literature). The aluminum connections feature a sliding design, allowing for three different configurations, thereby enhancing its versatility.
Design Challenge
The product's bodies are positioned using easily assembled joints that require no mechanical tools. A key challenge was ensuring these joints were strong enough to hold the structures. Various designs were tested, but most were rejected due to looseness. Ultimately, sliding joints of suitable lengths and widths were achieved through trial and error.
Research
This product, designed for children aged one to seven, was developed through research on children's needs and parental insights. It features versatile dimensions that allow for conversion between a single table, a double table, and a cottage, considering budget constraints and limited home space. Key goals include enhancing parent-child relationships, encouraging discussions about stories, and fostering children's skills through assembly activities.
Inspiration
As children grow and their needs change at each developmental stage, they encounter various challenges that require adaptability from their families. The rise of technology has also impacted the quality of interactions between parents and children. This product is designed to meet these evolving needs, empowering families to navigate these transitions successfully and foster stronger connections.
Project Duration
The project started in October 2023 in Tehran and finished in November 2024 in Tehran.
Operation Flow
We modeled the three states that the product can transform into and examined the connections between them, ensuring they are secure and strong. One design goal was to connect the parts like a puzzle, so we chose aluminum for the connections due to its suitability for extrusion. We used plywood for the main parts to create grooves that guide assembly, making it easy to put together. We optimized the lengths to enhance strength while incorporating a measure of flexibility.
