About Multifunctional 鏡

Multifunctional 係一款專為細小居住空間而設計嘅鏡。呢件產品將穿衣鏡、掛衣架、儲物托盤同睇鞋鏡合而為一。幾何造型嘅掛鈎可以掛外套同手袋。中間嘅托盤可以擺放鎖匙、手錶同眼鏡。托盤嘅角度可以調校，托盤底面嘅鏡可以用作第二塊鏡。當托盤同上方嘅鏡貼平時，就形成一塊全身鏡；托盤向下轉時，就可以照到鞋。櫸木底座增加穩定性，平板式包裝亦減少運輸體積。

Unique Properties: According to people's living habits, based on the principle of less is more, the multifunctional mirror provides people with a one stop solution, allowing people to easily cope with every day.
Dimensions & Packaging: 490mm x 250mm x 1650mm, using flat-panel detachable packaging to reduce transportation volume.
Tags: Coat rack, Storage, Multifunction, Full-length mirror
Production Technology: The multifunctional mirror adopts a simple geometric design, which conforms to the modern aesthetics; the structure is simple, with fewer screws, and is easy to assemble and put into production; the angle-adjustable storage tray doubles as a small mirror.
Design Challenge: The tray is the highlight of the multifunctional mirror. We use the simplest spring buckle to solve the rotation problem of the pallet, and the center of gravity of the product is on the upper part. In order to prevent dumping, we chose a higher density beech wood as the wood base and added an anti-dumping part. .
Research: Most mirrors on the market are simple in form and function. Limited by size and angle, most mirrors cannot help users check shoes. An extra coat rack takes up extra space in a small space. By combining mirrors, coat racks, adjustable trays and shoe mirrors, the multifunctional mirror solves the above-mentioned pain points and provides a solution for small spaces.
Inspiration: The Multifunction Mirror, integrating a coat rack, a dressing mirror, a shoe mirror, and a storage tray into one unit, effectively solves the problems of common dressing mirrors being unable to reflect shoes and small-space dwellers having limited space for more furniture.
Project Duration: The project started in Turin in June 2021, completed in zheng zhou in July 2021.
Operation Flow: Featuring a clean, simple look, Multifunction Mirror oozes a modern touch. The hooks in geometric shape and the upper mirror works as a coat rack with a mirror. The storage tray in the middle offers a perfect perch for keys, watches, and glasses. With an adjustable design and a mirror on the bottom side, the tray doubles as a complementary mirror. Adjust the mirror side flush with the upper mirror for a large, full length mirror, or adjust it downwards when trying on shoes.
