About Shell Bank
Shell is een transformeerbare bank, ontworpen voor woningen en voor openbare ruimtes zoals scholen en winkelcentra. De rugleuning van de bank is flexibel en kan met enkele eenvoudige bewegingen worden verplaatst. Shell kan worden gebruikt als loungebank, tweezijdige bank of poef. Het frame is gemaakt van metaal en is bekleed met stof en zachte vulling. De bank meet 1800 mm in lengte, 1200 mm in hoogte en 800 mm in diepte. Er worden twee kleurversies aangeboden: wit en grijs met gouden kussens, en donkergrijs met rode kussens. Dankzij de transformatie kan de bank opnieuw worden gebruikt wanneer een ruimte verandert.

- Design Challenge
- To show object transformation capabilities, its universality, reuse. To induce an emotional response from the viewer.
- Research
- Functions: 1. For public spaces in which various events are often held (schools, colleges, shopping centers, exhibition centers). 2. And also for residential small spaces, with the need to change the functions of the room. 3. For standard and large living spaces, so that the design of the sofa allows reuse when changing the design.
- Inspiration
- Marine inhabitants often use shells to change the functions of their bodies. I wanted to use that principle for the couch. By applying a little fantasy, a person can change it and turn into other pieces of furniture. This ability gives positive emotions, and it may be very useful when changing the design or functionality of the room so that a person can use the sofa again. Repeated use of furniture has a great impact on the environment.
- Project Duration
- The project started in April 2018 in Moscow and finished in May 2018 in Moscow.
- Operation Flow
- A person can have a totally new experience interacting with this piece of furniture. You can use a couple of movements to move the back of the sofa and transform it depending on what you need at the moment: to meet guests, sit down or take a nap.
