About Caterpillar Njësi Bari

Brumbull qëndron në mënyrë të pafajshme në dhomë derisa ju i jepni një rrotullim për të zbuluar tërheqjen e tij ngacmuese. Ai vepron si një vepër skulpturore me një bar të fshehur. Cili është thesari juaj i fshehur? Brumbull është thurur me mjeshtëri me dorë duke përdorur dru bliri të bardhë dhe është përfunduar me një veshje italiane mate me bazë uji që thekson kthesat e tij dhe praninë e tij origjinale. Këmbët e brumbullit veprojnë si dorezë, të cilat përdoren për të rrotulluar barin. Segmentet e barit janë projektuar me saktësi për rrotullim të përsosur gjatë rrotullimit. Brumbull ka hapësirë për të ruajtur 30 deri në 40 shishe, verë dhe gota të tjera.

Production Technology: The Caterpillar bar unit is handmade by carpenters in a factory forming, carving and cutting and joining white ash wood using carpentry techiniques. Finish is Italian Water Based Matte Finish.
Design Challenge: The creative challenge was to not only break away from the stereotypical shape of boxy bar units but also to make the bar unit highly functional. The trial and error of steam bending white ash wood was the hardest and most challenging part, which was not very successful in the first piece, but we are working on it to make it successful. Also, joining and finishing the wood pieces together to make the circular modules.
Research: The online and offline research study was conducted on furniture marketplaces and physical stores to understand if there were any multifunctional cabinets available in the market. Visual data was collected via websites and by taking pictures of products in retail stores and homes within the personal network. One of the insights was that there were hardly any bar cabinets that were statement pieces or unique while also being highly functional. That served as our starting point to create a statement furniture piece that is also good with functionality.
Inspiration: The inspiration was to add fun to the boring mundane objects around us. The form is inspired by a caterpillar. Also, there are few products in the market that are statement furniture pieces but also offer good functionality. That was the starting point. The Caterpillar bar is designed to be a FUNctional piece, fun yet highly functional. The idea was also to add an element of surprise, as people will not anticipate that such a sculptural piece would actually turn out to be a bar unit
Project Duration: The Project Started in November 2022 & Finished in November 2022 and was exhibited at Raw Collaborative 5th Edition in India. (An exhibition)
Operation Flow: The Caterpillar bar unit stands tall as a sculptural bar unit, which, when turned using the knobs, reveals itself as a bar unit to start the party with an element of surprise. The caterpillar unit consists of 4 modules, out of which the top two modules turn together and the bottom two turn together. The top module has provisions for hanging wine glasses and also for keeping other drinking glasses. Wine bottles can be placed horizontally in the third module of the caterpillar bar.
