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.
