About One Line Tuinmeubilair

One Line is een collectie tuinmeubilair die mobiele apparaten oplaadt met zonne-energie. De collectie bestaat uit een salontafel, een ligbed en een hoge tafel. Zonnecellen met een totaal vermogen van 26 watt zijn ondergebracht in een onopvallende behuizing en laden een interne batterij op. Een volle batterij kan acht tot tien smartphones opladen via USB- en USB-C-poorten. Met een aanraakknop schakel je het ledlicht onder het tafelblad in. De behuizingen zijn gemaakt van gepoedercoat staal en aluminium. Alle onderdelen zijn afneembaar, zodat ze onderhouden, vervangen of gerecycled kunnen worden.

Production Technology
the products casing are made of powder-coated steel and aluminum. All additional elements are easily removable, which allows for quick service and replacement of components. The photovoltaic panel is not an integral part, after the product has been used up all components can be recycled.
Design Challenge
The engineering challenge was to create lightweight and durable structures that could fit all electronic components.
Research
During tests, we checked the demand for additional possibility of charging phones outdoors. We collected data from our other products equipped with chargers. Studies have shown that around 10-15 people use the charger daily, charging the phone for an average of 20 minutes. This allowed us to estimate the size of the solar panel and battery capacity.
Inspiration
The growing demand for charging mobile devices outdoors was inspiriation to this project. Mobile devices have become our everyday life and it is hard to imagine life without them today. The assumption of the project was to prepare a devices that allows you to charge the phone using only solar energy. The look of the table was to be minimalist, one of the inspirations was the lack table, the most popular table in the world available.
Project Duration
the project was developed in Warsaw. Conceptual work lasted from May 2019. After many prototypes and tests, the project was finally implemented in January 2020.
Operation Flow
The table is equipped with a photovoltaic panel that charges the battery placed inside. When the battery is fully charged it can then charge 8-10 smartphones. If you want to charge your phone, you can use the USB or USB-C socket. In addition, the table is equipped with LED backlight activated by a touch button.
