Design Details
- Unique Properties
- According to people's living habits, based on the principle of less is more, the multifunctional mirror provides people with a one stop solution, allowing people to easily cope with every day.
- Inspiration
- The Multifunction Mirror, integrating a coat rack, a dressing mirror, a shoe mirror, and a storage tray into one unit, effectively solves the problems of common dressing mirrors being unable to reflect shoes and small-space dwellers having limited space for more furniture.
- Research
- Most mirrors on the market are simple in form and function. Limited by size and angle, most mirrors cannot help users check shoes. An extra coat rack takes up extra space in a small space. By combining mirrors, coat racks, adjustable trays and shoe mirrors, the multifunctional mirror solves the above-mentioned pain points and provides a solution for small spaces.
- Challenge
- The tray is the highlight of the multifunctional mirror. We use the simplest spring buckle to solve the rotation problem of the pallet, and the center of gravity of the product is on the upper part. In order to prevent dumping, we chose a higher density beech wood as the wood base and added an anti-dumping part. .
- Realization and Technology
- The multifunctional mirror adopts a simple geometric design, which conforms to the modern aesthetics; the structure is simple, with fewer screws, and is easy to assemble and put into production; the angle-adjustable storage tray doubles as a small mirror.
- Operation and Interaction
- Featuring a clean, simple look, Multifunction Mirror oozes a modern touch. The hooks in geometric shape and the upper mirror works as a coat rack with a mirror. The storage tray in the middle offers a perfect perch for keys, watches, and glasses. With an adjustable design and a mirror on the bottom side, the tray doubles as a complementary mirror. Adjust the mirror side flush with the upper mirror for a large, full length mirror, or adjust it downwards when trying on shoes.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in Turin in June 2021, completed in zheng zhou in July 2021.
- Specifications
- 490mm x 250mm x 1650mm, using flat-panel detachable packaging to reduce transportation volume.
