Unique Properties

This is a unique bookcase design. The most different is that it is a DIY bookcase. It is divided into small cabinet and big cabinet two parts. Small cabinets use the semantics of Tetris. Users can put different shapes and color blocks into large cabinets to DIY their own bookcase according to the characteristics. The small cabinet can also be removed as a small storage box.

Production Technology

The bookcase is made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum alloy has good stiffness and strength, but also light weight. It has good casting performance and plastic processing performance, good electrical and thermal conductivity, good corrosion resistance and weldability.

Design Challenge

This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.

Research

The most common consideration for users to buy bookcases is the amount of storage, the convenience of using (taking books to buy books), the space, the safety (including formaldehyde and stability), and the cost performance.

Inspiration

I got inspiration from the shape of Tetris and designed this bookcase in the shape of it. Nowadays, more and more people like DIY products. The motivation for our design was that it was a free-form bookcase.

Project Duration

The project started in September 2021 in Milan and finished in February 2022 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2022.

Operation Flow

First, when the user starts assembling, remove all the small boxes. Just like Tetris, users can make their own DIY bookcase by matching different shapes and color blocks based on the characteristics. At the same time, the user can also remove the small box as a storage rack to use.
