Mobile Shelf


Try using metal components to build a form of furniture, with costs as cheaply as possible.
After look and observe what was there, I decided to choose stainless steel pipes with the diameter 2.5 cm  (1 inches)  by reason of such material resistant to corrosion, no need to refinishing and especially the shiny look luxurious.

The next step is to create a furniture design with the basic concept of minimalist, functional and of course must be at a cost that is cheap.
Of sketches on paper, I get form a bookshelf  with a measure of detail as seen on the picture below

I use grade B teakwood because prices are relatively inexpensive with a thickness of 2.5 cm.
I choose dark colour wich is Cooffe Brown contrasts with the shiny of stainless steel, followed by using a wax coating at the end.
To add a little accent, I put 4 pieces of wheel caster which one of them using latches.
So, mobile bookshelf  I already have.....

It turns out from a simple and low cost can result a form of furniture that is functional and eye catching display.

Knock Down Furniture

Knock down furniture is the idea..! This time the project is a demand for my colleague Mr Matthew Flinchum, a teacher who taught at a school in Kobe City of Japan.
He wants 1 set table tea with knockdown system because it would bring him back by himself during a visit to Indonesia.
That is, design must be concise to ease in the packaging and carrying.

Design consists of two compartments, each room with 1 shelf and 1 piece board liaison between  compartment.
I divided each compartment room into 5 parts component, which is:
  • 1 piece base part
  • 2 pieces side panel
  • 1 piece rear panel
  • 1 piece top part


 base part
I created a groove on the base part to placement side & rear panel, so it can stand and not shift.


 
  side panel





pres-fit connection

side panel can stand upright and it won't shift due to the groove on base part



rear panel

next step is stringing the rear panel, the connection between side and rear panel by shifting down so both positions were locked in order to revive a whole construction.
 


locked position 

the next process is the installation of the upper part which is also using the connection with groove.


 
top part

 complete compartment

here it looks overall compartment construction.



2 compartments and 1 piece board liaison between compartment

the last is to combine two rooms with 1 piece board liaison.

With the knockdown system this product to be concise in packaging, and of course will be very cost-saving luggage in the plane.

Thank you Mr. Matthew Flinchum has entrusted the manufacture of tea table to me.

Folding Bookrack PERDANA




At one point it occurred to one question in my mind, ' is there a simple way to minimize the volume of furniture? ‘This question based upon the high shipping rates merchandise through the expedition, courier service or other delivery services. It means the bigger the goods we will send the greater the cost we spend. Not just the cost of shipping rarity higher than prices of goods itself.

Well, departing from the thoughts, this time I tried to make bookshelves design can be folded. Overall dimensions when standing open is HxWxD : 120x75x38 cm when sealed into HxWxD : 120x75x6 cm.
Compact Enough isn't it?

The material I use is A-grade teak wood that physically looks beautiful. That is why I decided to finish it with rustic color only to accentuate the fiber timber. Hinge measures 6 cm made of brass to add accent antique and shelves support using rubber coated iron.  Once again, the concept I have to offer is simple and concise.
