Prototype 4

After an interesting discussion, it was clear that our picknick basket - picknick table idea had to be changed dramatically. After a 1 on 1 scale prototype of the prototype chose in the blogpost of 2/3/2015, which was perfect in dimensions as a table, but rather large when used as a a basket, new and extended feedback was given:
- no hinges can be used
- there should be more focus on total disassembly of one product to reassemble all the pieces in a completely different way to get to the next product.
- the use of the flexible material should be structural in both products, and not merely practical.
- the idea of a picknick table which is sitting above the ground was good for Mr. Parmentier (it would be better ergonomic to eat on a table, than on the ground) .
- Mr. Detand suggested that the content of the basket should be removable from the basket without distributing it all over the area in order to construct the table. Some sort of second basket or 'food tray' should be considered.
- the weight of the empty basket should really be a concern and the materials should be chosen with this weight in mind.

After this feedback moment, a new idea was designed and the result can be seen below.

The flexibel material will be used for the handles of the basket and will perform a structural function in the legs of the table (the flexible material will keep the legs in the correct position)

This idea was also prototyped in a 1 on 1 scale, which can be seen below. 

This idea will be finished for the next class so new feedback can be given and the prototype can be finalized.

We also tested if the height of the table is good for eating.
