My market stall design was a bit of a chaos for me, not really having a direction. I think the stereotype of an actual simple market stall always popped up in my mind, almost like I was wearing blinkers. After long and late nights I finally came up with a concept which I quite like. Reminds me of back home (i.e Seychelles) really where I had this deck chair, lekka comfortable with hanging cloth fabric supported by poles just slotting into the sleeves of the fabric with simple cut outs in the profile of the main members, which could be used to change the incline of the chair. What I enjoyed about the chair was it was relatively easy to assemble and could be easily folded up and carried away.
Here are some of my previous designs below which eventually led to my final design, including some of the feedback I received during the crits.
And voila! here's my renderings of the final design.
I've designed it in such a way that the frame work is light and easily foldable and dynamic in a way that you can change the degree of incline.
The success of the stall relies on the stall owner stacking his displays which has weight, into the fabric and the displays should help stabilize the whole structure (with forces acting at various angles and countering one another) thus making it difficult for the wind to topple it over.
In addition, rods can be placed anywhere where there are perforations in the members, where he/she sees fit. This further adds bracing and the pockets of display may vary in size. It is a very open design as in it hasn't got any solid planes which will 'catch' the wind. The wind seems to flow right through the displays in all directions as opposed to having a stretched material over which would act similarly to a kite!
