RESEARCH ABSTRACT: A few connection types have been checked at the beginning of the project and this was the base for starting the development process. Another important point was the FEA analysis in order to ensure the strength of the structure.
CHALLENGE: The challenge here was to build something that looks simple as a form, but at the same time interesting. More design, less art. The appearance of the set is related to the Scandinavian 'hygge' style so the name "fika" (which is 'coffee break' in Swedish) and the colors of the main configuration (like the Swedish flag) makes the picture completed.
