Móvel multifuncional para cozinhas compactas

Abstract

This study concluded undergraduate proposes the development of a multifunctional mobile for residential kitchens with full reduced space, based on an analysis of needs presented by consumers and end users. Because it is intended for consumers in reduced family income, this design comes in addition to functional and historical aspects , also discusses the concept and features delivered by this portion of users as their customs, preferences and buying behavior. Settling the overall picture of the current furniture demand from Brazil, focuses primarily on the study of furniture for the intended target audience. Thus, for a better understanding of all the issues involved in the project, are approached concepts related to multifunctionality, compactness - what it says about marriage different furniture in one, thus reducing the space for - choice of materials and design anthropometric, and general concepts such as respect for the environment and the impact of this industrial productions , bringing the proposed projects with greater fitness for sustainability. For this is used as a theoretical basis research in books, articles, documents and files relevant areas relating to technical and functional issues, and research based on the relationship between design, industrial production and consumer. As regards the analysis of the furniture market and the user's personal questionnaires and rating technical products segment that presented similar function these are applied to the desired mobile. Through a questionnaire applied to the consumer, it was possible to establish the expansion of the target audience, including also people living in compact homes, but also have reduced and indifferent monthly income of their participation in housing programs. Through such information, prepare alternatives for the proposed mobile consecutively and if executed prototype development, based on a technical design aided by studies already present in the field of ergonomics. Through full-scale prototype, it is possible to use analysis and the impact of this on the user, thus serving as a means of observation and construction of the concept of relationship between user and product. The aim of this project not only the development of a mobile, but the discussion about the design of user-centered design may appear like a benefactor of the user agent/output ratio, and this project serve as a basis for future research, especially in areas related to product design, ergonomics and professional relationship between the designer and his transformative role in society.
