The Waterfall Project was designed for primary school from the range of 1st grade to 4th grade.
Design Challenge
Design plastic furniture using a single mold, blow molding process while keeping the manufacturing cost low at the same time it needed to be stack-able and attractive for the children of that age group.
concept development
After a lot of iterations 2 designs were finalized for user testing
The chair was inspired from a back pack.
The slits depict the straps of the bag which also provide strength to the back support.
The color blue was chosen so that the furniture blends seamlessly with the classroom.
The table was designed to be a three tier table.
The first tier being able to open as per individual seat which makes it easier to store books in the second tier which has a well defined separation for personal space for each individual. The third tier was design to keep bags and art books. In order to keep the classroom alleys between each row clean and clutter free.
The chair was inspired by a sunflower with the organic shape of the back rest which flows into the seat just to drip of on to the legs which depict the stem of the flower.
The table was inspired by a waterfall.
The top of the table flows over the storage rack as the pebbles to the back of the table like a waterfall.
The legs of the table have a slight flange so as to give it the ability to stack for easy storage.
