Case Study#13 Robotic interiors that efficiently multiply your space_oriliving X IKEA_Rognan

“Reimagine Urban Living”, is one catchphrase of the ‘Oriliving’, which company designs furniture with futuristic functions. ‘we see space differently,’ according to one of the representatives of Ori, when they captured the unused space in modern living by presenting their 3 symbolic products: Ori Pocket Closet, Ori Studio Suite, and Ori Cloud Bed. Meet their creative works at the website cited below:

“One of the most important aspects of a creative business is the communication and the collaboration between the designers and engineers.” This is one of the sentences that I cherish the most. I always have been thinking that the keystones to revolutionize the ‘Big Questions’ of current society lie under this sentence. Because under this logical step: realizing something requires engineering, and engineering requires design and humanity to gain its own direction and purpose. Thus this balancing between practicality and ideal is a shortcut for every single trivial thought to a vivid dream, which we can constantly trace at least.

Many people argue that the history of the human race mostly has been maintained under coincidental luck, following that ‘vivid dream’ which is both not really opaque nor vice versa.

Now, on the other hand, human beings have encountered one big question: ‘lack of space’. People are constantly moving to smaller rooms, real estate market has never been generous for those who have not enough economic power, while technologies have been developed to build more luxurious, and splendid interiors than before.

Under this preposterous paradox, Ori captured the surplus space and extracted them by letting the internet do the interiors with given conditions. This is the perfect compromise to resolve the urgent inconvenience and not to hinder any positive development in other areas as well.

Likewise, the core value of both engineering and design can glow only when they cooperate. Again, I really would like to emphasize that the engineer who possesses that ‘insight’ is in need in every field on the world today.
