FOR WHAT?

Application Area: 

The product is a multifunctional coat rack designed for the entryway of a home.

Purpose: It combines three main functions into one piece:

-Shoe Storage: 

A place to neatly store shoes.

-Seating Area: 

A stable surface to sit on while putting on or taking off shoes.

-Coat Rack: 

Hooks for hanging coats, jackets.

Environment: 

The object is space-efficient and ideal for compact entryways.

HOW?

Use of the Frame (Chair):  

The old chair frame was entirely upcycled and serves as the base structure for the new design:

-Metal Frame: Provides stability as the core structure.

-Modifications: Additional connections and new wooden components were integrated to expand the functionality of the original chair frame.

WHAT?

Appearance:

The product has a clean, minimalist, and modern aesthetic. The combination of metal and wood creates a pleasant contrast between industrial and natural materials.

Design Concept:

The linear design creates a graphic and reduced composition, resembling a sketch. The focus was on creating clear, functional areas with minimal material use.

WHICH?

Materials

-Chair Frame: Reused metal frame from an old chair.

-Wood: Used for the seating area, shoe shelf, and coat hooks (sourced from scrap wood in the wood workshop).

Connection Techniques

-Screws: Wooden components were securely attached to the metal frame using screws.

-Wood Joints: Mortise-and-tenon joints (Morses) were used for robust connections between wooden parts.

SPECIAL FEATURES

Flexibility of Hooks:

The flexible coat hooks add movement to the design and adapt to the items they hold, making the product more dynamic.

Sustainability:

Using recycled metal and wood highlights the eco-friendly approach of the design.

Space-Saving Design:

The compact size and multifunctionality make it perfect for small apartments or entryways.

Also, I would like to thank the wood workshop supervisors for allowing me to use scrap wood materials.
