The Design

About Berkley Coleção de Mobiliário

Berkley é uma coleção de mobiliário que inclui uma mesa de apoio, uma mesa de centro, uma mesa de canto e um móvel para televisão. A coleção é feita de aglomerado de madeira e tubos de aço. As peças são unidas por parafusos de dupla rosca e parafusos plásticos na parte superior, de modo que a montagem é feita manualmente, sem ferramentas. Os cestos de tecido podem ser dobrados para armazenamento e colocados em diferentes posições. O formato de embalagem plana reduz o volume e o custo de transporte. Os componentes compartilhados entre as peças da coleção ajudam a manter baixos os custos de produção. As linhas limpas conferem às peças uma aparência minimalista.

Production Technology: The Berkley range of furniture is made entirely from chipboard and steel tubing, which ensures product quality while keeping production costs under control. To reduce the size of the package, the fabric baskets can also be folded for storage. The components of the entire range are connected by two-way screws and plastic screws at the top, making it easy to assemble by hand without tools.
Design Challenge: Ensuring stability and production costs while enabling tool-free assembly was the main challenge for this concept. As a solution, we used tougher steel tubes and chipboard to address stability issues. In addition, sharing components throughout the range was also a solution to reduce costs.
Research: Many companies prioritise low-cost products, which often means limited development budgets and cost-cutting at every stage. It is therefore a challenge to incorporate a tool-free installation concept into budget furniture. The aim of this concept is to demonstrate that tool-free installation concepts and financial gains can indeed coexist if the focus is on optimising design and production, even if the user's assembly experience is optimised and production costs are not increased.
Inspiration: The Berkley furniture series aims to simplify assembly by eliminating the need for tools. Recognizing that online furniture buyers often struggle with time-consuming and error-prone assembly processes, the design prioritizes ease and efficiency. Through hand-twisting to connect plates and steel tubes, the furniture achieves stability, durability, and enhanced storage capacity.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2024 and was completed in July 2024 in Shenzhen, China.
Operation Flow: The Berkley range of furniture is designed for quick assembly and disassembly. The whole structure can be easily assembled with a simple twist of the hand, ensuring stability without the need for complicated tools. Fitted with fabric baskets that can be placed in different positions depending on the use.
