Grow up is a multifunctional crib designed for use through several stages of childhood. Inspired by a park swing, the frame is made of wood and hemp rope and is joined with tenon connections, without metal fittings. Three modes are offered. In the first mode, the bed hangs from the frame and can be rocked quietly. In the second mode, the bed is raised to form a desk for older children. In the third mode, the frame becomes a clothes rack and the bed becomes a basket for toys. Flat packaging reduces transport and storage volume.

- Production Technology
- The crib is attached by a tenon process without metal fittings for added beauty and environmental protection. Manufactured using wood and hemp rope, the material is cheap and easy to process, and it also is easy to machine.Crib components are machined to dramatically increase productivity and it is suitable for mass production.
- Design Challenge
- The innovation of the project is that the user can realize the multi-purpose of the crib through the change of the position and position of the baffle, so that a crib can be used at all stages of the child's growth, rather than just using before the age of 1, and
then throw it away, resulting in a waste of resources. - Project Duration
- Projekt dauer is 4 months.The project started from January until the end of June in Wuhan.
- Operation Flow
- When using the crib , parents can easily shake the bed. Due to the bed is suspended by the hemp rope, so parents can shake the baby bed without friction noise and the baby will not have the bumpy feeling. When the baby grows to 3-12 year-old children, By changing the position of the baffle and changing the length of the hemp rope, the position of the bed is increased to become a desk that is suitable for children. When the child grows up again, the bed can be placed on the ground as a coat rack and a toys basket.
- Research
- This crib is based on the sustainable design concept.During the growth process of children, three usage modes are set.The first model is the infant bed which is used in infancy, and the swing
mode is less noisy and more comfortable.The second mode is the children's desk , the Shelf can be suspended lamps and other objects;The third mode is the hanger, which can hang large amounts of clothing,and the crib can be used as baskets to store toys, clothing,etc.Just one product can meet the needs of children from infancy to adolescence and even adults. - Inspiration
- Usually a crib can only be used before the child 1 year old, after the children grow up the crib is useless, in most cases can only give as gifts or discarded.This Grow crib is inspired by the swing in the park. It is based on a swing shape ,it is made of wood and hemp rope. During the growth of children, by changing the way of the components connecting, the crib can achieve three modes of use,meet the needs during the process of child development.
