RESEARCH ABSTRACT: First, I did research about unit furniture, and I came up with an idea of using the mechanism of Lego for a shelf unit idea.
I also did a research about products inspired by Lego. There are a lot of that kind of products, but I haven't found any furniture pieces. So, I felt my idea would have a good potential.
CHALLENGE: The creative challenge of this project was to make some different variations of combinations like Lego. In this way, users can play with its possibilities of combinations depending on their creative and playful minds and their practical needs.
