Risky Trailer Multifunctional Mobile Shop

Risky Trailer Multifunctional Mobile Shop is an innovative mobile retail solution that reimagines the iconic Polish N126 trailer design through a contemporary architectural lens, transforming it into a versatile pop-up retail space constructed primarily from steel pipes. This transformable installation, which garnered recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Street and City Furniture Design category, represents a sophisticated fusion of nostalgia and modern functionality. The structure's ingenious design allows it to expand from its compact traveling dimensions of 190cm x 350cm x 230cm to an impressive 550cm x 500cm x 500cm when fully deployed, incorporating multiple functional elements including a fitting room, display windows, desk space, and specialized retail fixtures. The design's distinctive characteristic lies in its transparent framework, achieved through carefully bent and welded steel pipes, featuring ten movable components that seamlessly integrate various retail functions while maintaining a clean, aesthetic line free from visible mechanical connections. This mobile architecture piece serves multiple purposes: during daylight hours, it functions as an interactive retail space and urban sculpture, while at night, it transforms into an illuminated installation dubbed Ghost of Niewiadow, paying homage to the original trailer's manufacturing heritage. The design incorporates authentic vintage elements from the 1970s-1990s, including period-correct back lights, utility storage, and classic wheels, complemented by industrial steampunk-inspired features such as neon glass tubes and spherical lighting fixtures. The structure's engineering enables it to be legally road-registered and easily transported, while its transformative capabilities allow it to adapt to various retail environments and urban settings, demonstrating exceptional versatility in modern mobile commerce applications.
