Participants were able to complete tasks around 1.1–1.5 times faster with the proposed invention than with single-function furniture items. The survey data are analysed using Spearman’s correlation test via IBM SPSS Statistics version 21. Using Minitab 19, the experimental data are analysed with t-tests. The tests accounted for usage efficiency, space and usability. Mechanical simulations are done to confirm the structural integrity of the invention before prototyping and testing.
#SPACE SAVER FURNITURE PROFESSIONAL#
The final concept is modelled using Autodesk Inventor Professional 2019. Features and functions are extracted from research articles and patents for concept generation. This study aims to develop a space-saving multipurpose table for improved ergonomic performance. However, apart from limitations attributed to multifunctionality and space saving characteristics, a complete design process documentation of foldable furniture is uncommon in furniture research. This paper contributes to the innovation culture of tiny house movement by designing space-saving furniture.įoldable furniture is a trend of the modern furniture industry. The final concept was selected based on concept selection matrix. Where a number of prototypes of various concepts were made to check the feasibility of the concepts. Instead of specification-driven innovation, the innovation process adopted in this paper is ‘Prototype-Driven Innovation’.

Based on the analysis and understanding, concepts were generated and scaled models were prototyped. To achieve a highly efficient space-saving furniture, initially, the shape-shifting phenomena in nature and the manmade world had been studied and analysed.

This paper illustrates the approach adopted to conceptualise and design a new space-saving and reconfigurable furniture using the design for modularity approach. As a result, tiny house movement has seen innovation in interior design with space-saving technology and modularity approach. One segment of the population is compelled to live in small houses and another segment by choice. or less in the area and 39% of rural houses are 312 sq. The 63rd round survey of the National Sample Survey Organisation (NSSO) brings to the notice that 32% of urban houses are 258 sq.
