RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The initial problem was a robot vacuum cleaner that can't clean under bedside tables. Going through different variations of bases, I ended up making the wall unite. It is convenient for a small place as well.
It is equipped with clips, hooks, elastics, and containers, providing practical storage space and making it easier to find things. I wanted to keep healthy routines: drink through the night and reduce telephone lights. They are solved with the glass holder and deep container.
CHALLENGE: The hand was the most challenging part. I wanted it to be able to fit inside the form in different positions. Especially if it could have a nice night light, but due to technical issues, it didn't work. Another thing was the glass to use for hand. I went through several designs of the past and decided to use a crystal diamond cut made of plastic.
In this project, I wanted to keep the minimum required storage. I was focused on ergonomics and how many things we put near us during sleep.

This work is an incredible example of modern design, combining innovative technologies like a wireless charger, USB portals, and rotating light, with the classic form of a wall bedside unit. The introduction of the wall module and use of primary colors gives the piece an original, unique look. Furthermore, the hand serves practical storage purposes with clips, hooks, elastics, and containers, perfect for keeping healthy routines such as staying hydrated while reducing phone light exposure. The use of ABS plastic and metal for the hooks and clips ensure a long-lasting, durable design. Congratulations to the designer for this remarkable piece!
