Rubberized School Desks - Yanko Design
The schools in Mdantsane, South Africa are poorly equipped and lack basic facilities such as chairs and desks which are required to run the schools. With over 7000 students and only 3 schools, the book of desks to the infinite available is another key factor to consider. For this reason the pattern is a combination of both a desk and chair. Each desk is formed from recycled condom.
Rubber is very durable which volition withstand the day to day usage of the desks in the classroom environs. This makes it an ideal fabric for the blueprint. Due to the textile immovability information technology will help to withstand impairment from potential thief's and the weight of the material will also help to prevent thief's from removing the desk. The condom surface tin be easily maintained, preserving the desks for future generations.
The desks are a combination of 3 split up rubber layers which are glued together. The base of operations layer is a hard compound, which protects the underside of the desk/chair and also offers a durable surface for the user to piece of work on. The cadre layer is again a hard rubber compound, which enhances the rigidity of the desk-bound and supports the weight of the user. The last layer is a soft rubber compound, which acts every bit a cushion.
The designs each accept individual color along the contour of the blueprint. The idea is to brighten the currently dull classrooms and make the surrounding environment more appealing to the users creating a much more positive temper within the classroom.
