Om Caterpillar Barenhed

Larven står uskyldigt i rummet, indtil du giver den et drej og afslører dens skælmske charme. Den fungerer som et skulpturelt element med en skjult bar. Hvad er din skjulte skat? Larven er omhyggeligt håndlavet i hvid asketræ og er færdigbehandlet med en italiensk vandbaseret mat lakering, der fremhæver dens kurver og finurlige tilstedeværelse. Larvens ben fungerer som håndtag, der bruges til at dreje baren. Barsegmenterne er præcist konstrueret til fejlfri rotation, når de drejes. Larven har plads til at rumme 30 til 40 flasker, vin og andre glas.

Unikke Egenskaber: The caterpillar bar unit is a statement piece of furniture that is not only fun but also functional. The sculptural looking piece can actually be turned to reveal a hidden bar unit, which astonishes everyone as no one expects it. The Caterpillar is meticulously handcrafted and precisely engineered for flawless turning of the bar segments. The legs of the caterpillar act as knobs, which are used to revolve the bar. The caterpillar has provisions to stock 30 to 40 bottles, wine, and other glasses

Produktionsteknologi: The Caterpillar bar unit is handmade by carpenters in a factory forming, carving and cutting and joining white ash wood using carpentry techiniques. Finish is Italian Water Based Matte Finish.
Designudfordring: The creative challenge was to not only break away from the stereotypical shape of boxy bar units but also to make the bar unit highly functional. The trial and error of steam bending white ash wood was the hardest and most challenging part, which was not very successful in the first piece, but we are working on it to make it successful. Also, joining and finishing the wood pieces together to make the circular modules.
Forskning: The online and offline research study was conducted on furniture marketplaces and physical stores to understand if there were any multifunctional cabinets available in the market. Visual data was collected via websites and by taking pictures of products in retail stores and homes within the personal network. One of the insights was that there were hardly any bar cabinets that were statement pieces or unique while also being highly functional. That served as our starting point to create a statement furniture piece that is also good with functionality.
Inspiration: The inspiration was to add fun to the boring mundane objects around us. The form is inspired by a caterpillar. Also, there are few products in the market that are statement furniture pieces but also offer good functionality. That was the starting point. The Caterpillar bar is designed to be a FUNctional piece, fun yet highly functional. The idea was also to add an element of surprise, as people will not anticipate that such a sculptural piece would actually turn out to be a bar unit
Projektvarighed: The Project Started in November 2022 & Finished in November 2022 and was exhibited at Raw Collaborative 5th Edition in India. (An exhibition)
Driftsflow: The Caterpillar bar unit stands tall as a sculptural bar unit, which, when turned using the knobs, reveals itself as a bar unit to start the party with an element of surprise. The caterpillar unit consists of 4 modules, out of which the top two modules turn together and the bottom two turn together. The top module has provisions for hanging wine glasses and also for keeping other drinking glasses. Wine bottles can be placed horizontally in the third module of the caterpillar bar.
