About Free and Easy Cavalete de pintura
Free and Easy é um cavalete concebido para pequenos ateliês, salas de aula de arte e desenho ao ar livre. Os cavaletes triangulares comuns ocupam muito espaço durante o armazenamento e o transporte e bloqueiam o campo de visão entre artistas e professores. O Free and Easy apresenta uma forma plana e compacta quando dobrado, o que poupa espaço e reduz os custos de transporte. A estrutura é feita de madeira e plástico de engenharia em nylon, com fixadores metálicos e ímanes. Duas rodas de plástico ajustam a altura da prancheta de desenho. Uma tampa de caixa combinada com paleta mantém os materiais de pintura sempre ao alcance da mão.

The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a reasonable way in it’s appearance which is satisfying in function at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching and discussing of our project, we finally find the proper selection which achieves the desired effect.
- Research
- As an important part of painting tools, easel is an indispensable tool for every painting enthusiast and professional workers.

Based on the market research and field visit of easel, designers puts forward a solutions, that is Free and Easy , to the existing problems of easel products from the perspective of productization.
- Inspiration
- At present, similar easels waste a lot of space for gathering and storage, inconvenient transportation and cost increase, especially for schools and arts studios. Also, during using time, the existing triangle easels block space, is really affects the sight artists and tutorship of teachers. Free and Easy is a solution for these problems and also can be used in outdoor sketching. It is really easy for users to curry with and also has reasonable space for color palette and painting tools.
