UP / STIMULATE CREATIVITY
Design is intended to encourage the child to physical activity, give the sense of privacy and foster its creative freedom.
The object is dedicated to pre-schoolers and focusses on their correct development. It was designed in two versions of materials: the pastel one, intended for children's bedrooms, and the shades of gray, matching the space of the living-room, where - as the research shows - the child spends much time every day. UP includes a construction of wooden climbing frames. The furniture is fixed to the wall for safety. Four mattresses, which can be conected witch strings, facilitate any game and are easy to store inside the object. Privacy is provided by hanging a textile curtain to create a child's hideaway. The padded side serves as comfortable backrest. A big board with a clip is a creative zone, where you can attah large sheets of paper. On the other side, there is a pull-out case with two functions: storage and a seat. Pulled-out, and hanging accessories for art supplies keep them at hand and let the child's imagination fly free.
Design tests based on a prototype of furniture made of substitute materials.
