About Glay Matalinong Aparador

Ang Glay ay isang matalinong aparador na idinisenyo para sa mga bata. Ang yunit ay may sukat na 1500 mm ang lawak, 600 mm ang lalim, at 1200 mm ang taas. Ang isang pinto ay gawa sa electronic paper at nagsisilbing drawing board, coloring board, at screen para sa simpleng mga laro. Ang kahoy na ibabaw ng pinto ay may mga butas para sa building blocks, mga letra, at mga numero. Ang isang frame ay maaaring hilahin palabas upang bumuo ng isang maliit na play room, at may kasamang mesa at dalawang upuang pwedeng sakyan. Maaaring baguhin ng mga magulang ang disenyo ng pinto sa pamamagitan ng wireless link, upang malaman ng mga bata kung malapit na ang oras ng pagtulog habang pinananatiling maayos ang kanilang mga damit.

Production Technology
The e door corroborated with E ink Cor. using e paper in the new area of kids furniture which is not often considered. It can be used as a drawing board, coloring board with bear patterns and shooting games. The wood surface of the door has holes for playing blocks, training logical thinking from 2D to 3D or practice numbers and the alphabet with it.
Design Challenge
Using e paper on the surface made this project big enough to need a team of engineers and carpentors to work with, challenging their abilities and overcoming their reluctance to deal with Glay, which became a learning experience for all involved.
Research
As a parent, the designer was focusing on how to introduce technology and digital things to children without missing the experience of real objects in their lives. He decided to use time as the topic on the digital door, to help children understand how fast the time passes by.
Inspiration
The designer showed his daughter a draft for a children's closet but she rejected it saying she wants a closet to play with as well as to keep her clothes tidy. While avoiding overuse of digitalization, Glay brings back the real touch and feel mechanics that naturally attract children's interests. By design the digital connects with the real life interaction.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2017 in Taipei and finished in April 2018 in Taipei, and was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2018, Milan, Italy. At 2019, it was awarded by Good Design Award Chicago, U.S.A.
Operation Flow
Through blue tooth, parents can control the digital door color and patterns. The house work timer function could be arranged in the phone calendar as well. The designer wants to let kids know their sleep time is close by seeing the changing patterns on the door.
