The Design

About Castellar Armazenamento de Ferramentas de Costura

Castellar é um conjunto de recipientes magnéticos para armazenar ferramentas de costura. Os recipientes são colocados sobre a máquina de costura, mantendo a bancada livre durante o trabalho. As lançadeiras ficam alojadas na seção em ponte, o que reduz a área de armazenamento necessária na mesa e mantém um grupo completo de lançadeiras pronto para uma mesma tarefa. As agulhas são fixadas na seção em caixa pela força magnética. Um cone concavo voltado para baixo permite retirar as agulhas sem ferir a mão, e quatro superfícies separam os diferentes tipos de agulha. O conjunto é produzido por moldagem plástica por injeção, com ímãs.

Unique Properties: CASTELLAR is a set of magnetic storage containers which can be put on the sewing machine for keeping desktop clean while working, and improve the exciting storage containers for different tailoring tools.
The shuttles are stored in the the bridge part, reduces the storage area of the desk, and they can put a group of shuttles which needed one time. The needles are adsorbed on the box part by magnetic force, and the downward concave cone prevents users' hands from being stabbed when taking out the needles, and classify different needles with four surfaces.
Dimensions & Packaging: 180mm x 90mm x 100mm
Tags: tailor, magnetic, storage, efficiency, professional image
Production Technology: plastic injection molding, magnet
Design Challenge: There are so many kinds of tailoring tools and accessories are being used during work, so it took me a lot time to classified them and observe the timing they are used and the way they are taken, and finally find a suitable way to store them.
Research: The tailor ladies are the historical significance and a common memories of everyone in Taiwan. According to my survey research, Taiwanese generally respect the traditional tailor's profession, but most people's impression of them is crowded space and messy table, which leading to the low willingness to learn among young people, end up emerging industrial age faults. Therefore, I want to to create an orderly and convenient working environment through integrating the storage of appliances, improving not only the efficiency but also their professional image.
Inspiration: The tailor ladies are the historical significance and a common memories of everyone in Taiwan. I want to create an orderly and convenient working environment through integrating the storage of appliances, and improve not only the efficiency but also the professional image of tailor ladies. During research, I found that the tailors tend to put objects on the sewing machine and set notes on it with a magnet, and since the tailoring tools are mostly made with stainless steel, I decided to use the space above the machine, combined with magnetic to do more effective storage.
Project Duration: The project is started in Taiwan from Sep. 2017 and to Jan. 2018.
Operation Flow: I found that the tailors tend to put objects on the sewing machine and set notes on it with a magnet, and the tailoring tools are mostly made with stainless steel, so I decided to use the space above the machine, combined with magnetic to do more effective storage, improving not only the efficiency but also the professional image of tailors.
