Multifunctional modular system: children’s furniture for ages 3 to 9

The article addresses the issue of children’s furniture in Colombia. It points out the design deficiencies found in most products currently offered in the market (usefulness for just one or two functions at the greatest, fast obsolescence and high environmental impact), in comparison with those desi...

Señala las deficiencias de diseño de la mayor parte de los productos que se ofrecen en el mercado actual (cubrimiento de una o dos funciones a lo sumo, rápida obsolescencia e impacto ambiental), haciendo un contraste con muebles para niños diseñados en Europa y Norte América, los cuales se caracterizan por su versatilidad, multifuncionalidad, uso de materiales reciclables y minimalismo, entre otras cosas. Se esboza un perfil de los usuarios directos (los niños), y los usuarios indirectos (los padres o tutores), y además, se definen las zonas de actividad de los niños entre 3 y 9 años de edad, a partir de lo cual se identifican las funciones del mobiliario infantil, o los lineamientos para el diseño. Por último, se presenta el sistema modular Magoo, lo que incluye: el concepto del producto, su valor diferencial, el proceso de diseño y sus materiales. Se concluye que multifuncionalidad y flexibilidad, versatilidad y capacidad de transformación, son palabras clave a la hora de diseñar muebles para niños.application/pdfspaUniversidad Antonio Nariñohttp://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/86/682346-092X1909-3888REVISTA NODO; Vol. 7 Núm. 14 (2013); 77 - 88Children’s furniturerecyclingflexibilitymulti-functionalityMueble infantilreciclajeflexibilidadmultifuncionalidadMultifunctional modular system: children’s furniture for ages 3 to 9Sistema modular multifuncional: mobiliario para niños de 3 a 9 añosArtículo revisado por paresinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85123456789/5566oai:repositorio.uan.edu.co:123456789/55662024-10-09 22:34:44.461https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/Acceso abiertometadata.onlyhttps://repositorio.uan.edu.coRepositorio Institucional UANalertas.repositorio@uan.edu.co

It concludes that multi-functionality and flexibility, versatility and transformation capability are all essential when designing children’s furniture.
