Final Design

Ok, now looking at it again, creating just one furniture that has all three concept ideas is not working. So decided to make it a set of furniture instead. Here are the designs (art credits go to Laura, my group mate and artist)

Yeah, not that original I know but then again Murphy beds all look the same anyway so can't really do anything about it. The concept and how it looks like are the same as what you would probably see in other companies design so like I said, the idea of the design is not really original so sorry about that and credits go to whoever originally made this design. The only thing I added that was hopefully original was the double width capacity in the Murphy bed. I initially wanted a Murphy bed, and a multifunctional chair and table, the design was that withing the murphy bed there would also be storage to keep the multifunctional table and chair but it didn't really work out that well. What you see in the picture was the initial design with the storage for the multifunctional chair and table, but because we scrap the idea out and we didn't have enough time to redraw everything so we left it as it is. The design is the same, the only thing is that the storage for the chair and table would be for users items like clothes or whatnot.

One of my group mates thought of an idea where the chair can morph into a sort of a small stepping ladder so I thought why not. But since we're also tackling the problem of lacking storage space so I had asked to incorporate the storage solution to it. The design came out like this. The concept is that the head  board of the chair can be pulled down 180 degrees, taking half of the seating area and turn it into a stepping ladder (look at the process in the image if you don't get what I'm saying). At the bottom of the chair is storage. It looks like a drawer. The drawer storage is based on the concept of the twisted table so it was design so that the top drawer can be twisted to a certain angle to reveal storage in the bottom drawer. 

I later found out that the chair turning into a stepping ladder idea was originally from a company that I do not know so.......credits to original designer.

The next and last design was that of a telescopic desk incorporated to a bookcase/cupboard. The concept idea came from a group called 'Resource Furniture' so we based it on that. Again, we're tackling the problem of space so the desk was design in that manner. As for how it works, the bookcase/cupboard is just a standard one with a cabinet storage at the side incorporated to a telescopic table. the two table legs connected to a part of the desk is pulled, revealing a sort of aluminium bridge. the planks or leaves, I don't know what they're called, that is stored in the cabinet is placed on the aluminium bridge. This creates a dining table can serve up to 9 people.

I decided to based the name for the furniture set design on the pulling term because I noticed that all our designs had to do with the action of pulling something. So we named it 'La Traccion' which means pulling in Spanish. We had no other ideas.
