Object Description
The MAMMUT series is a collection of funky and creative children’s furniture designed by M Kjelstrup and A Östgaard. The table is made from polypropylene plastic, a material that is harmless to children and commonly used in baby bottles, disposable nappies, and food boxes (Kukiev et al., 2019). This makes the furniture safe, sturdy, and perfect for outdoor use, as it can withstand rain, sun, snow, and dirt.
One of the leading products in the MAMMUT series is a children’s table perfect for small children to sit at and engage in various activities such as playing, drawing, doing crafts, or setting the table for a cozy picnic in the garden. The table is designed to be light but sturdy, allowing children to quickly move it from room to room or out into the garden. Its dimensions are 39 cm in width, 36 cm in depth, and 67 cm in height, with a seat depth of 26 cm and a seat height of 30 cm. Assembling the MAMMUT furniture is straightforward, and less technical work is required (Wang, 2020). Its components click together, making it easy for parents to put them together without special tools. Additionally, the MAMMUT series is designed to be environmentally friendly (Shakkarwal et al., 2021). The furniture can be recycled or used for energy recovery, making it a sustainable choice for parents who care about the environment.
The MAMMUT IKEA furniture series offers several advantages, making it a popular choice for parents and children. Firstly, the furniture is made from harmless polypropylene plastic, making it safe and durable for children (Nurtanto et al., 2020). Its lightweight yet sturdy construction allows children to quickly move it around from room to room or even take it outside. Inspired by cartoon shapes, the furniture’s funky and creative design adds a unique and playful touch to any child’s room or outdoor space (Romanova, 2019). The MAMMUT series is also designed to withstand rain, sun, snow, and dirt, making it perfect for outdoor use such as picnics, playtime, and other activities (Ramli et al., 2019). Furthermore, the furniture is designed to be environmentally friendly and possible to recycle or use for energy recovery, making it a sustainable choice for parents who care about the environment.
Critical Analysis
Upon completing the Autocad course, I found it a delightful experience. Despite using Illustrator and Photoshop to work on real estate apartment plans, I had never used Autocad before. At first, I found it a bit challenging since the commands were very different from what I was used to in Adobe, and it took me out of my comfort zone. However, I decided to take some courses on LinkedIn Learning, which I liked. I can use these new skills in my day-to-day job and am excited to continue learning.
However, I did find some aspects of using Autocad challenging, mainly when working on the Mammut chair, I selected. While the chair itself is an excellent design with its funky and creative shape, I found the rounded edges to be a bit difficult to represent accurately in the software. I added a 2-angle fillet, but I am unsure if it is the right way to express the roundness. This is an important consideration since the accurate representation of the roundness is necessary to ensure the final product is manufactured correctly.
Despite this challenge, I found the Autocad course very beneficial overall. It has expanded my skill set and given me a new perspective on how to approach design projects in the future. I am excited to continue practicing my skills and working with the software to create more intricate and detailed designs. Overall, I highly recommend taking the Autocad course for anyone who wants to expand their design skills and knowledge.
