About Accordio पालतूगृहम्
अकॉर्डिओ-नामकम् इदं सिलिकॉन-निर्मितं वहनीयं पालतूगृहम् अस्ति। लघुभारं शरीरं एकॉर्डियन-वाद्यवत् संकोच्यते, येन बहिः क्रीडायां प्रवासे च गृहं सुगमतया वोढुं शक्यते। सिलिकॉन-पृष्ठभागः सुखेन शोध्यते। द्वयोः पार्श्वयोः दाबेन गृहं स्वस्य पूर्णाकारस्य षष्ठांशपरिमितं संकुचितं भवति। अष्ट दृढीकृताः चुम्बकीयाः संरचनाः संरचनात्मकं स्थैर्यं प्रयच्छन्ति, संकुचितं रूपं समेकितं धारयन्ति, आकारं च समतलं संहतं च रक्षन्ति। वस्त्रनिर्मितं गद्दिका संकुचितस्य गृहस्य अन्तः सुखेन स्थापयितुं शक्यते, येन परिवहनं सुविधाजनकं भवति।

- 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.
