About Orange Link Barnemøbler

Orange Link er en møbelserie designet for barn. Serien kombinerer massiv ask med skjøter i oransje ingeniørplast. Tredelene er CNC-skåret og behandlet med voksolje, mens de oransje knutepunktene er fremstilt ved sprøytestøping. De avrundede plastskjøtene omslutter treforbindelsene, fjerner skarpe kanter og leder berøringen. De sammenlåsende skjøtene forenkler også monteringen og støtter effektiv produksjon. Dimensjonene følger barns rekkevidde og synsfelt, og legger til rette for lesing, hobbyaktiviteter og organisering. Fargekontrasten forener naturlig varme med industriell presisjon.

Production Technology
Crafted from ash wood and engineering plastics. Wood is CNC-cut and wax-oiled. Orange nodes use injection molding for strength and smoothness. Plastic interlocking joints simplify assembly and ensure high production efficiency.
Design Challenge
The challenge lies in achieving a seamless interlocking of natural wood and modern plastics. It requires balancing structural stability with rounded safety protection. The design uses the Orange-Link system to unify industrial standardization with natural warmth, ensuring functionality and safety while creating a high-impact visual aesthetic.
Research
This design explores the cross-application of solid wood and engineering plastics in children's furniture. Focusing on the Orange-Link system, it unifies structural connection with rounded protection. By using color contrast and tactile guidance, it breaks traditional wood constraints to create a logical, vibrant, and interactive growth environment for children.
Inspiration
The forms are inspired by the act of fastening buttons. Orange plastic parts serve as Orange-Links, locking wooden structures together like vibrant buttons. This core semantic defines the Orange-Link series, using simplified visual language to express logical material connections. Structurally, it merges wood stability with plastic flexibility, creating a modern aesthetic that balances structural strength with a playful, childlike spirit.
Project Duration
The design had started in Shenyang in January 2025, completed in Shenyang in June 2025, and displayed in the museum of Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts in Shenyang in June in 2025.
Operation Flow
Ideal for children learning and playing. Rounded Orange-Link joints guide natural touch and interaction, providing skin-friendly, safe support for reading, crafting, or organizing. The blend of warm ash wood and vibrant orange stimulates creativity and enhances the interactive growth experience within the space.
