Question

How can I gamify furniture?

A major difference between furniture and games is that games are a sustained interactive process, whereas with furniture the interactive process revolves more around function. Therefore, one of the key points in gamifying furniture is how to make it possible to have sustained interactive possibilities. I started to incorporate mechanical elements into the furniture, turning the mechanical elements into modular furniture components, allowing the user to interact with the furniture continuously through the dynamics of the mechanical structure after it has been assembled.

1. Table - Combining gear plates, each layer can be moved at the same time. The small gears in the middle are like small shareable trays, which can be made of different coloured acrylic sheets or with optical patterns to create different visual effects when the table is rotated.

2. Shelf + Hooks - Transforming the gears into the modules of the furniture, the process of assembling the furniture becomes the process of building the mechanical structure, and the modules can continue to generate motion after the assembly is complete. Make hooks hidden in gears, and by rotating the gears, make hooks appear with the motion of rotation, combining function and playability.

3. Book Shelf - Transform the gear plates into shelf baffles and make them playable in addition to classification.
