dc.description.abstract | As a routine-oriented person, my morning and bedtime routines are sacred parts of the day. This furniture design studio required students to design a casegood that improved upon a daily ritual in our personal lives. In analyzing my bedside routines, there were three important issues to address: unorganized cords, lack of concealed storage, and preventing spills during sleep. Through the use of precedent studies, material analysis, and full scale prototypes, the final design was driven by the dimensions of my personal belongings and my anatomic dimensions. The product features intuitive design solutions that address the main issues, including hidden compartments and channels for cords to hide, multi-tiered storage alternating between open and concealed compartments, and high round sides that prevent spills. The final piece came together in solid red alder wood, assembled using glued panels connected with dado joints to accommodate material swelling. The drawer carefully considers seasonal material movement by using enlarged dado tracks that allow for smooth wood-on-wood operation. The design process yielded a successful furniture piece that found elegant solutions to enhance user experience over other commercially manufactured designs. This project demonstrates the importance of detail oriented, ergonomic, and intuitive design. It provides a precedent that shows how aspects of daily life can be improved through successful design that meets a user’s specific needs. | en_US |
