Foldable Lander's inspiration by Lunnar Lander and Origami

As a product designer, I am constantly seeking inspiration from different sources to create innovative and functional designs. Two sources of inspiration that have influenced my work are the design of the Lunar Lander and the art of Origami.

 

Lunar Lander

Since Soviet Union launched the first artificial Earth satellite Sputnik 1 (Спутник-1) on 4 October 1957, we have entered the new era - space age.  Another historical milestone, the design of the Lunar Lander, which was used by NASA for the Apollo moon landing mission, is another source of inspiration for me. The Lunar Lander was designed to be lightweight, compact, and highly functional, with the ability to fold up and fit into a small space. This design feature has inspired me to think about how I can create products that are not only functional but also highly portable, space-saving and aesthetic of minimalism.

Origami

The Japanese art of paper folding, has been used for centuries to create intricate and beautiful designs using just a single sheet of paper. The technique of folding and unfolding the paper to create various shapes and forms has inspired me to think about how I can use folding as a design element in my products.
This design and organize of fabric element is inspire by one of the most commom used origami technique:

Combining these two sources of inspiration, I have created the Foldable Lander Chair, a versatile and innovative design that combines the functionality of a chair with the portability of a foldable design. The chair and table/ottoman is made from lightweight materials and can be easily folded and unfolded with the fabric organized in Origami way, making it ideal for use in small spaces or for outdoor activities.
