DESIGN NAME:
KALI
PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Tiered Trolley
INSPIRATION:
This design is inspired by the cabinetwork of the countryside and the world of wine in France. Wood is predominant, and the minimal stylization.
I chose the rot-proof solid oak wood. It's also cooperage wood.
I wanted a sturdy efficient tool that runs smoothly, where the hand fits naturally.It can be moved around without risk or noise in the dining rooms.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This cart was designed at the request of the sommeliers.
It withstands the heavy demands of working in a restaurant. It is a mobile extension of the bar's functions, with bottles on the steps and hanging glasses. The bottles are not held by any metal gallery. They are secured by a non-slip coating from the world of shipbuilding. The glasses are held by pressure on a cushion. They don't rattle when you drive.
This trolley is made to last. It can be refurbished over and over again for a minimal environmental footprint.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
For presentation and service of a liquor at the table
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
2016 June in Toulouse
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Kali is manufactured in small series in solid oak according to traditional cabinet making techniques using parts common to several models.
The use of solid wood, and the design by mechanical assemblies ensure the possibility of easy repairing or renovating the model ad infinitum by every joiner or cabinetmakers of the world.
The trolley is left in its natural colour or stained black, then varnished
Stairs are covered with a wear-resistant anti-slip coating.
The zipper is made of black Krion resin.

W x D x H = 600 x 600 x 950 mm
Delivered worldwide in our standard sturdy palletized cardboard 1150 x 720 x 820mm
TAGS:
Trolley, cart , liquor cart, alcohol trolley , chariot, chariot à liqueur, stair cart
RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
The objective is to provide restaurant waiters with specific tools that are beautiful, easy to use, solid and reliable, which they will quickly find indispensable to their job.
It was necessary to reconcile strict usage values with representation values: beauty of the object and elegance of the gesture, but also ergonomics, handiness, repairability all over the world,
The K series comprises a set of products using common parts and a specific construction principle.
The strong structural connection is at the junction between the shelf and the legs. The functional head, usually a solid one-piece wooden frame, is attached to the legs by metal connectors. This design opens up many possibilities for creating sturdy trolleys with a common identity.
CHALLENGE:
I had to stay in the world of gastronomy.It's an occasional piece of furniture, its design should be simple enough to fit the more global design of restaurants.
It is also a tool to serve the products they transport. It must sublimate them while remaining modest.
The waiter must be able to handle it with ease, without risk for the sometimes very precious bottles.
It is a frame that evokes the world of liqueurs, a world that has a strong relationship with wood.
How can functions be fulfilled without putting materials other than wood in the foreground? A metal gallery would have been unsightly.
It was also necessary to start from the manufacturing principle of the K series by making a difference, without complicating the manufacturing process.

As a design enthusiast, I am truly impressed with this "Tiered Trolley" – it is a fantastic example of thoughtful and creative design. Not only does it meet the needs of sommeliers, but it is built to withstand the daily demands of a restaurant setting. The ingenious use of a non-slip coating from the world of shipbuilding to secure the bottles is especially impressive, as is the way the glasses are held in place without rattling when the trolley is in motion. Furthermore, this trolley has been designed to last, and can be refurbished as needed with minimal environmental impact. It's no wonder that this work won the A' Design Award – it is truly deserving of such recognition.
