Fremu yake imetengenezwa kwa mbao na plastiki maalum ya nailoni (nylon engineering plastic), ikiwa na vishikizo vya chuma na sumaku. Magurudumu mawili ya plastiki huruhusu urekebishaji wa urefu wa ubao wa kuchorea. Kifuniko cha sanduku kilichounganishwa na pelet (palette) huwezesha vifaa vya kuchorea kubaki karibu na kufikika kwa urahisi.

The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a reasonable way in it’s appearance which is satisfying in function at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching and discussing of our project, we finally find the proper selection which achieves the desired effect.
- Research
- As an important part of painting tools, easel is an indispensable tool for every painting enthusiast and professional workers.

Based on the market research and field visit of easel, designers puts forward a solutions, that is Free and Easy , to the existing problems of easel products from the perspective of productization.
- Inspiration
- At present, similar easels waste a lot of space for gathering and storage, inconvenient transportation and cost increase, especially for schools and arts studios. Also, during using time, the existing triangle easels block space, is really affects the sight artists and tutorship of teachers. Free and Easy is a solution for these problems and also can be used in outdoor sketching. It is really easy for users to curry with and also has reasonable space for color palette and painting tools.
- Project Duration
