.Ram

Sammanfattning: In this project, RAM, we wanted to question today’s consumption of furniture and create furniture with longevity in mind. Explore the possibilities of designing furniture that would grow with you through life to avoid having the need to buy new in different stages of life. The project resulted in a storage system that can adapt to different living situations which can accrue through life. Once the system becomes too small or too big it can easily be upscaled or downscaled. This makes it possible for the user to adapt the size of the system to the current living situation, from a student flat to a family home or vice versa. The storage interior consists of shelves, room dividers, cabinets, secretaire and drawers that enable the user to customize the system after their current needs. A twisting hook is used to smoothly place the interior into the profiles, which also functions as the main construction to keep the storage system stable. RAM’s modularity allows the user to freely design the system according to personal taste and needs. Sustainable design strategies have been applied in the design process, creating a long-lasting design solution which contributes to a circular economy. RAM provides a service allowing the user to buy spare parts and offer repairs to prolong the product’s lifetime. The long term goal is to create a service enabling users to switch components with each other. The aim is to save material resources and prevent users from throwing away fully functional material.
