Patch
Separator system designed for use in open offices and home working environments
What is Patch?
Origins
Wasted potential
Patch is made from Koleksiyon's cutoff material so physical potential is turned into emotional motivation. Here's a photo of their discard pile
Process
Know the workplace
Studied the systems regarding the workplace - both emotional and physical
Know the material
Chose materials to use from tens of different cutoffs
Design the module
Patch modules are designed to be easily produced in different colors
Design the connectors
Custom designed connectors and heavy duty clamps enable the separator to be infinitely scalable
CMF
Patch has many modules with and without fabric. Offcuts from Koleksiyon's broad product range creates lots of fabric and color options.
Design the package
Flat packed sets of 9 and 18 pcs. Fits neatly on a Euro style palette for easy transport and storage
Detailed Protoyping Process
Cut the Extrusions
A box of Koleksiyon's cutoffs were given to us for prototyping. I started with cutting an aluminium extrusion in my home workshop
Cut Wooden Panels
Plywood and MDF pieces were cut to size using my jigsaw with my printed templates.
Stamping Fabric
Every Patch module is made to be taken apart. These stamps are the hardest thing take apart. (Also this my first time with fabric)
First Module
This is the first module I made with real material accurate down to fabric, foam wood and the correct extrusion.
3D Printed Extrusions
To avoid using up all my material I 3D Printed some extrusions I modeled after Koleksiyon's cutoffs
Connection Methods
Notice here the red module is smaller and the green connectors offer no horizontal support. I redesigned the connectors after this prototype
New Connectors
New connectors were designed along with horizontal supports to better support the structure and avoid horizontal flex.
Final Modules
New connectors enabled me to use the main module only (eliminating the need for the smaller module)
