About Free and Easy Cavalletto
Free and Easy è un cavalletto progettato per piccoli studi, aule di arte e schizzi all'aperto. I comuni cavalletti triangolari occupano spazio durante lo stoccaggio e il trasporto e ostacolano la visuale tra artisti e insegnanti. Free and Easy, una volta ripiegato, assume una forma piatta e compatta, che consente di risparmiare spazio e ridurre i costi di trasporto. La struttura è realizzata in legno e nylon tecnico, con fissaggi metallici e magneti. Due rotelle in plastica regolano l'altezza del tavolo da disegno. Un coperchio della scatola combinato con una tavolozza mantiene gli strumenti per dipingere sempre a portata di mano.

The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a reasonable way in it’s appearance which is satisfying in function at the beginning. After a certain number of sketching and discussing of our project, we finally find the proper selection which achieves the desired effect.
- Research
- As an important part of painting tools, easel is an indispensable tool for every painting enthusiast and professional workers. By observing the market of painting supplies, you can easily find that the renewal and iteration of painting related products are very slow, many painting products lack of revolutionary ideas and product upgrading. Based on the market research and field visit of easel, designers puts forward a solutions, that is Free and Easy , to the existing problems of easel products from the perspective of productization.
- Inspiration
- At present, similar easels waste a lot of space for gathering and storage, inconvenient transportation and cost increase, especially for schools and arts studios. Also, during using time, the existing triangle easels block space, is really affects the sight artists and tutorship of teachers. Free and Easy is a solution for these problems and also can be used in outdoor sketching. It is really easy for users to curry with and also has reasonable space for color palette and painting tools.
