Design Details
- Unique Properties
- 'Tenemnet H' are experimental project exploring new possibilities of Bangkok through designs by 3 young student designers. The collection are aluminium modular cabinet inspired by shophouses in Bangkok, where different facades are used for different functions and purposes. It is designed to be a modular cabinet with a customizable facade for each user's needs. It can also be adjusted to open from either front, back, or both ways, allowing usage as semi-partitions as well.
- Inspiration
- This project is part of 'Design Plant' exhibition for Bangkok Design week where young product designer are selected explore how we could create new design possibilities. The given concept is 'DOMESTIC'. We wanted to create a piece that reflects Thai, especially Bangkok people's life, a design that people can related to. This project are results of designer trying to explore shapes, form, colours and function of Bangkok charming chaotic architecture.
- Research
- We started by visiting different neighborhood in Bangkok, observing and discussing shapes, forms and function of each façade we seen. We also looking into how people interact with them and how 'unconventional functions' are create in everyday use. We grouping those ideas into what could be interesting to adapted into products. Then simply each functions and create storage modular unit based on objects that we imagine would be appropriate to fit inside each design.
- Challenge
- This project is a collaborative project between undergraduate students, design Mentor, and furniture manufacturers. It's an extremely new working environment for all parties. It's also challenging to scale down the mechanics of different façades into a small cabinet door and requires intensive testing and exploration in production phase.
- Realization and Technology
- The materials are aluminium. It's highly durable and light-weighted for its customisable/movable function.
- Operation and Interaction
- This modular storage unit is designed to be light and durable. Each module comes with a different closing mechanism, ranging from scissor gates to accordion doors and shutters. Each unit can be configured according to what your space allows. Tenement H can be built up vertically while larger spaces would allow for a wider base.
- Project Duration and Location
