Recreational shading device.

Designing a shading device. The background concern of this unit is to bridge the gap between drawing board ideas and making techniques; instead of working on abstract ideas; simple rules of geometric transformation as well as modulation were employed as a guide for underlying principles. These principles govern decision making process at each stage of Design. how the principle is extracted from the given object of inspiration and how well it is translated into a functional system to compliment given material & production techniques. The shading device can be put as a landscape element which has an integrated table. The furniture is designed on the principle of “coupled motion” extracted from the given object of inspiration- Hoberman switch pitch. The table and the shade fold collapses in sync due to mechanism involved that vertically mirrors the motion of the shade and the table.
