Examensprojekt: Boxplay – Utveckling av en kombinationsmöbel

Abstract

When living in a small apartment one of the greatest challenges is to make to most out of the available space. Several different furniture are used for different purposes. Another issues arise when having people over, which requires additional space and seats. On this basis, the project builds on creating a flexible combination furniture with multiple purposes. The goal is to make a piece of furniture that fills a certain need while not creating just another furniture used for a single purpose. The ambition is further to make chairs, shelves and sideboards to speak the same design language and work well together. Furthermore, this project aims to understand and learn how a design process can be carried out from thorough and methodical research to the finished product. The project also involved exploring changeability and understanding what this could do with a piece of furniture. The result is a piece of furniture that is primarily used as a bookcase but can be easily rearranged into a seating area if needed. The model has been realized through a physical prototype which readiness is close to the final design.
