SMALL-SPACE LIVING

Sammanfattning: Shifting between living places has become a common routine for many people all over the world. On the other hand, some people like students and commuting workers move only temporary, where the feeling of home and simplicity of moving to a new place might be challenged. The starting-point for this project was to investigate if objects can make it easier to move from place to place both emotionally and physically. However, after research the brief was updated to create a multifunctional product for small-space living, which is how most people live in the cities. Methods used in the creative process was brainstorming, need finding through interviews, Computer Aided Modelling and prototyping. Material and construction alternatives were analysed and compared with regards to the interplay between the objects and ease of assembly. The result was presented as a collection of three objects, a stool, a side table and a big circular pad that function as independent furniture, but also creates an additional function when the stool or side table are available together with the circular pad.
