The lighter-shape hooks can move along the wires. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The hooks can conceal behind the blocks, which can be used as bookends and coat hangers. Users can also hang scarves in between the rails. By installing additional sets, the Abacus can be extended. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in August 2016 in Hong Kong and finished in September 2016 in Hong Kong. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |

The hooks are installed on double-wire rails which can move along without scratches. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 870 mm (Extendable) x Depth 220 mm x Height 420 mm TAGS: Multi-function, Bookshelf, Coat Hanger, Wall-mounted, Furniture, Extendable, Wire, Metal, Wood, Abacus RESEARCH ABSTRACT: According to United Nations, 54% of the world’s overall population was urban population in 2014; in 2050, urban population would rise to 66% of the world’s overall population. In other words, as urban population increases across the world, residences in cities are shrinking in order to fulfil the demand. CHALLENGE: The furniture is highly responsible to improve the efficiency in space-usage in small properties, especially 1-bedroom flats and studios. Every inch should be used competently and wisely. Thus, the usage of space at the corridor is crucial. ADDED DATE: 2019-02-27 09:46:04 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : IMAGE CREDITS: Wai Ho Cheung, 2018. |
