flat-pack-room




When the flat-to-form design brief was released at the university, I was aiming for creating a flattable room. Simultaneously, I was experimenting with materials; I started to sketch this mechanical maquett. The size of the black sheet underneath is A/1. (594x841mm or 23.386x33.11 inches)

The white ring in front of the bird is tied to a thread system and by pulling it, the cachet will close itself. Quite surprising if you don't know what to expect.

The same concept may be used as a lamp shade but the pulling system should go preferably replaced by an electro engined spool system.

What came first the chicken or the bulb?
