Globalization has led to the migration of youth across the country for education, business and work. This population of youth is a large target market for a host of products. For my diploma project, I had to design a functional and versatile module or a system of furniture for hostels, paying guest apartments and bachelor apartments and that would accommodate the basic needs of the youth.

I started with a study on the company’s existing product range, their production processes and facilities, to check if it was feasible to come up with a new range of products under their umbrella. Opportunity areas were identified for the new range of furniture, based on the facilities at and processes followed by the company and its market status. The preliminary research also included understanding the primary users, their lifestyle, cultural and behavioral aspects.

The conceptualized design includes a wardrobe/storage, drop-down work surface, side frame with hanger hooks, bed with backrest cushions and drawers. The basic unit of the system was then detailed, while taking into consideration the material usage, production line process and cost. The prototype of the refined design was made to check for its production feasibility. The design was then further refined and optimized. The final deliverables included the prototype in actual scale and material along with the working drawings and 3D renderings of the refined product.

Understanding the intricacies of working on an industrial scale with mass production lines and latest technologies to refine the execution process formed an important part of my learning process during the course of this project.
