Lo còs leugièr se plega coma un acordeon, çò que permet de portar l'ostal facilament pendent las activitats a l'exterior e los viatges. La susfàcia de silicòne se neteja simplament. En quichant sus los dos costats, l'ostal se compressa fins a un sisen de sa talha entièra. Uèch cadres magnetics renfortits assegurràn l'estabilitat estructurala e mantenon la forma plegada, gardant una forma plana e compacta. Un coissin de teissut s'adapta a l'interior de l'ostal plegat per un transpòrt comòde.

Tags: Pet House, Collapsible Pet House, Accordion House
Production Technology: Accordio is made with silicone. Each magnetic frame (a total of 8) is reinforced for structural stability. Once collapsed, these frames adhere each other and keep it compact and portable.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was how to keep accordio in a flattened shape when it is collapsed. Several ways were explored such as snap buttons, strap and etc. Amongst them, magnetic frames were chosen to be an ideal solution as they could provide structural stability as well as visual clarity.
Research: Accordio is a design study about portable pet houses. The design explores the use of silicone for pet housing. The light-weighted and safe nature of silicone provides many potentials for a portable pet house.
Inspiration: Accordio was first inspired by my niece's silicone bowl plate. I was intrigued by its flexibility and portability. After some research, I found that silicone also has a fascinating collapsible feature, which was later adopted into a foldable house.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2020 in Calgary, Canada and finished in July 2020 in Banff, Canada.
Operation Flow: This silicone house can be compressed in a 1/6 size by pushing both sides. A fabric cushion can be conveniently fit into the collapsed form for portability.
