About Orange Link Mipando ya Ana
Orange Link ndi gulu la mipando lopangidwa kwa ana. Gululi limaphatikiza matabwa olimba a ash ndi zolumikizira zapulasitiki za injiniya za mtundu wa lalanje. Mbali za matabwa zimadulidwa ndi makina a CNC ndikumalizidwa ndi mafuta a phula, pamene malo olumikizira a lalanje amapangidwa pogwiritsa ntchito njira yothira pulasitiki mu chombo (injection molding). Zolumikizira zapulasitiki zozungulira zimakuta malo olumikizirana a matabwa, kuchotsa m'mphepete makutu ndi kutsogolera kakhudzidwe. Zolumikizira zolowanalowana zimathandizanso kufewetsa kusonkhanitsa ndi kuchirikiza kupanga kwachangu. Miyeso imatsatira kutalika kwa manja ndi maso a ana, kuthandiza kuwerenga, kupanga zamanja ndi kukonza zinthu. Kusiyana kwa mitundu kumagwirizanitsa kufunda kwachilengedwe ndi ulondola wa mafakitale.

- 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.
