Rolling Goods-Time
Got inspired from observation made at the site…
Kelli – Patient Aid Trolley
KELLI – 1
Did this a few years ago when my late father was going through a period of dialysis. He had diabetes for a long time which resulted in him first losing his sight and then eventually the function of both his kidneys.
Father’s house was small and to keep things organised and maintain the best hygiene for the apparatus he used, I got him an Ikea trolley. May be I saw it so often that I got inspired and decided to create something along the same line of furniture.
The design is made up of a few standard modules that one can use to create several variation of furniture. The name “Kelli” was drawn from a wonderful nurse that looked after my dad whenever he was awarded in hospital or when he visited the clinic.

Did this a while back for the discovery centre. Unfortunately, as the project progresses and budget got tightened, the end-product got diluted into oblivion. This is quite common in the industry.
The approach is very much similar to the Cargo-Bike I posted earlier. The bulk of the main frame comprises of layers and layers of cut-out material. When put together, it will formed a strong frame on which you can then attach accessories or any other proprietary devices. The ” layering” approach to me is fascinating. Its direct production method, using CNC Router or equivalent, means shorter workflow or processes. The end product is clean-cut and versatile. Sections of the fixtures can be taken apart, moved and reassembled in another location easily.
MotionCraft : Cargo-Bike
Decided to create my version of the cargo-bike. The main carcass can be built with layers and layers of light-weight material, which when put together forms a rigid and sturdy framework.
