Shared Space Organizer
This design is a storage and organization unit developed for industrial design students to store materials such as foam, cardboard and corrugated cardboard in an organized way.
Its three compartments allow materials to be categorized from large to small sizes. Designed with low-cost and easily accessible materials, the unit can be easily produced through workshop facilities by accessing production methods on Instructables.
Supplies
For this project you will need:
* Wooden dowels
* Wooden profiles
* Chicken wire (mesh netting)
* Fabric
* Sewing materials
* Adhesive hook & loop (Velcro)
* Drill
* Hammer
* Utility knife
PREPARING THE MATERİALS & MEASUREMENTS
* Cut the wooden profiles according to the measurements shown in the visuals.
* Purchase the chicken wire according to the measurements shown in the visuals.
* Purchase the fabric and Velcro pieces according to the specified quantities and measurements.
* The color of the fabric and wood is optional; we chose burgundy fabric for our design.
ASSEMBLING THE MAIN STRUCTURE
* Drill the parts with a 19 mm drill bit according to the locations and directions shown in the visuals.
* After completing the drilling process, assemble the parts from left to right as shown.
* Make sure that all parts are properly connected. If additional strength is needed, drill the connection points with a 3 mm drill bit as shown in the visuals and insert the 3 mm wooden dowels.
PREPARING AND ATTACHING THE MESH
* The mesh, which creates the storage area of the organizer, is prepared according to the required measurements.
* The edges of the fabric are folded inward by 2 cm and sewn to prevent fraying.
* The end squares of the 100 cm section of the chicken wire are placed into the sewn part.
* The hook and loop sides of the Velcro are attached one below the other directly onto the wire and the sewing area.
* This way, the Velcro also helps secure the wire to the fabric.
FINAL TOUCH & FINISHING
* Prepare color mixtures with acrylic paint and start the coloring process.
* We painted the rectangular profiles burgundy and the cylindrical profiles orange to make the organizer suitable for our classroom environment.
* Please remember that the painting process is completely optional and can be customized according to your preference!
GOOD LUCK!
