#15170 - Distributed Design Platform

Detailed Description

I focused on extending the longevity of periodically used children's furniture. My goal was to design a multi-generational bed that is not only durable but also capable of evolving with a child's growth and development from infancy to young adulthood. The extendable junction solution contributes to prolonging the furniture's lifespan without the need for additional legs or supports. It was important for every furniture element to seamlessly integrate into each phase of the bed's transformation. This allows the bed to be used without extra accessories, eliminating the need for storing unnecessary components separately.

Project Details

In your project's current stage of development, how does it align with the OPENNESS value of the Distributed Design Platform?: For the multi-generational bed, a user manual and instructional videos have been created, accessible via QR codes. This ensures that if the user manual is lost, the QR code on the furniture component remains accessible. This is aimed at facilitating the assembly process for users.

In your project's current stage of development, how does it align with the COLLABORATIVE value of the Distributed Design Platform?: In this project, the user participates in transforming the furniture, which allows them to understand the design process and the decisions made by the designer.

In your project's current stage of development, how does it align with the REGENERATIVE value of the Distributed Design Platform?: This project specifically aims to raise awareness about overconsumption and encourage a shift in perspective among consumers and users regarding furniture use and furniture waste. My mission is to contribute to the children's furniture market by developing timeless and value-creating solutions.

In your project's current stage of development, how does it align with the ECOSYSTEMIC value of the Distributed Design Platform?: My goal with this project is to extend the lifespan of periodically used furniture, which can potentially reduce annual furniture waste. Additionally, I aim to highlight the importance of manufacturing durable furniture and encouraging sustainability. My goal is to promote an environmentally conscious lifestyle.
