Sketch Exploration
Prototype 1
A couch that has holes for a child to crawl through
Prototype 2
An expandable table where the sides fold down to create a fully enclosed space for children and adults to both fit under.
Prototype 3
A table holds a cloth that can be used both as storage for fort items and as the main drape that forms the fort. The table also features folding stretchers to make more room inside.
Prototype 4
A hexagonal table that folds up and down to allow for leg room in table-mode while also creating walls for the fort.
