Wall Stairs Concept
Imaginé par le designer Aaron Tang, le concept "Wall Stairs" consiste en un escalier escamotable qui se plie pour s'intégrer dans un mur lorsqu'il n'est pas utilisé. Même si très peu d'informations sont données sur la manière de le déployer, c'est davantage l'idée de base et le mécanisme de pliage astucieux qui nous a intéressé. Découvrez le processus de design dans la suite !
Description originale
Using simple mechanical hinges and pistons, this inventive staircase easily folds flush up against a wall to expand a lower space and/or to restrict access to an upper floor. The mechanics within the design allow any person to easily open or close the staircase from upstairs or downstairs. Inner pistons help slide the stairs back up swiftly to create a flush wall. The pistons also act as a gradient to lower each step individually after the stairs have been pulled out, creating a gradual, elegant wave-like pattern as the steps individually lock into place.
This project originated from a door project in which I was asked to define what a door was and could be. I defined a door as "an element of a wall that allowed passageway to another environment when opened and restricted passageway when closed."
