E Uiga ia UnLimited Ato Tauave

O le UnLimited o se ato tauave e mafai ona toe faʻaaogaina, ua fuafuaina mo tagata solo uila i totonu o taulaga. O le ato e mautu atoatoa mai le vai ma e mafai ona suia le tele e tusa ai ma manaʻoga. O se fausaga faʻa-concertina e mafai ai ona faʻalautele le ato mo mea e leʻi mafaufauina ma faʻapipiʻi foi i se foliga lapotopoto e faʻaleleia ai le gaoioi. O le UnLimited e faia i se mea e tasi, o se elastomer thermoplastic e mafai ona toe faʻaaogaina ma e eseese tulaga o le malosi, ma e faʻamauina e ala i le fusi vevela. O le tele o ato tauave e tuufaatasia le tele o mea ma e faigata ona toe faʻaaogaina. O le fausaga e tasi le mea e lagolagoina ai le toe faʻaaogaina ma le toe faʻaaogaina pe a maeʻa lona nofoaiga.

Le Fa'ailogaina

E Uiga i le A' Design Award Apamemea

O le A' Design Award Apamemea na manumalo ai UnLimited Ato Tauave, o se faamaoniga matuā mamalu e tuuina atu i mamanu ese e iloga i le fatufatuaʻi, le atamai ma le poto. O ē manumalo i le Apamemea o mea e iai le tomai atoa ma fatufatuaʻi mataʻina e faamaonia ai le poto masani tele, le mafaufau ma le atamai o tagata mamanu. E faamoemoeina UnLimited Ato Tauave e avea ma mea e vivii tele, ua pelepelea, e iloga i le tomai faapolofesa ma mea fou. O lenei mamanu na manumalo i le A' Design Award Apamemea e tuufaatasia ai faiga sili i le faatufugaga, saienisi, mamanu ma tekonolosi ma e sili ona lelei i le mataituina o mea itiiti. UnLimited Ato Tauave e faamalieina matagofie manaʻoga, pa i manaʻo, faalataina lagona ma faaosofia le fia iloa.

Pepa Fa'asalalau

Fa'amaoniaga, sui o le 'au ma fa'amatalaga fa'atekinisi na saunia e le tagata mamanu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa: UnLimited is a recyclable, fully waterproof and size adjustable backpack tailored to the needs of an urban slow cyclist. This project aims to demonstrate the unlimited and limited requirements of space and material through a daily backpack. It can both expand to accommodate unexpected items and compress to keep the backpack streamlined to allow for better mobility.
Fua & Fa'apipi'i: 290 mm x 410 mm x (20~150) mm, 860 g
Fa'ailoga: backpack, material, exploration, sustainable, plastics, responsible consumption and production, slow cycling, commuting, unlimited, limited
Tekonolosi Gaosiga: The concept and production focus on concertina structure, material features and plastic production methods. Following the design philosophy for 'design of reduction', the backpack is sealed by heat welding and made of mono-material DuPont Hytrel, or similar recyclable thermoplastic elastomers with different levels of hardness. This feature is in stark contrast to the backpacks on the market today, which are multi-material and hard to recycle.
Lu'itau o le Mamanu: How to bring DuPont Hytrel from industrial usages to daily life market is the first challenge of this project. Another barrier is to search suitable hardness and thickness for the concertina structure, which should provide an instantly positive user experience.
Su'esu'ega: The design research was conducted through material exploration firstly and discovering the target audience and market through survey, road observation and 1:1 interview.
Fa'aosofia: Plastics that improve with age. The project is to design a product, with recyclable plastic, that is sustainable and creates a genuine bond with the user. An object that improves with age and counters some of the negative attributes often attributed to plastics such as cheap, transient and unemotional. Considering the longevity of a solution but also its place in a circular economy. What is its service life, how can it be reused, recycled or repurposed if it comes to the end of its useful life?
Umi o le Poloketi: The material research started from visiting DuPont Geneva Innovation Center in October 2016. The concept development was implemented during the springs of 2017 and 2018 in London, following a release in the 2018 degree show at the Royal College of Art. The latest prototype was made in November 2019 in Tainan.
Fa'agasologa o Galuega: Enough? Enough! UnLimited provides cyclists space depends on their needs. However, for the limitation of a bike, cyclists should not be a greedy user. They have to ensure the load they carry can keep their journey comfortable, not an obstacle. The project reflects balance and interaction between cyclists and their freedom of bringing as much as they can or as less as they can.
