Refreshed product theme:
A storytelling piece of furniture that incorporates mechanical structures that can generate unexpected feedback when used by the user.
(When you open a door, a small door above it will close.) Create a sense that other creatures are living in the home. Inspired by Hayao Miyazaki's anime---The Secret World of Arrietty. When the user opens the door to take something, the small door above will close as it rotates. When the user closes the door and leaves, the small door above will slowly open, as if other creatures want to come out when the user leaves. There is a ladder made of soft ropes on the table legs below, which is a passage for this unknown creature to leave. It is also to break the serious feeling of the entire metal cabinet and add some soft details.
Structure and dimensions:
The overall proportions and fixed structure were determined.
17th October The river fixation method tested has some disadvantages: it is not neat.
Improvement method: fix it with some screws
Disadvantages of the fixed position of the test: fixing the edge on the outside can easily cut your fingers, so consider bringing the edge inside.
The whole piece is cut into sheets using a metal laser cutting machine to facilitate transportation and installation by the user.
You can consider making packaging and instructions in the last week.
Material:
Overall: Aluminum,
Ladder section for legs: (ceramic/wood/anodized dyed aluminum + rope)
I plan to use frosted aluminum and increase the thickness to 3-4mm. I will ask the Denial machine if it can accept this thickness.---2mm
How to achieve frosted texture: there are still some tangles
1. Purchase frosted aluminum plate directly (no suitable one has been found so far)
2. Spray paint with a matte texture (may damage the luster of the metal)
3. Sand with sanding machine (the effect is not ideal, the surface is gray)
anodizing
I am waiting for logistics to buy tools for anodizing at home.
Expect it to arrive next week, so I can try adding anodized dyed parts for some details.
