boxrail
working environment design
How can I make commuting to my work comfortable?
BOXRAIL is a package for vehicle interior that allows passengers to remodel the handles and share the new experience with other passengers. Incorporating the behavior of people in the kitchen, I got some insights on making a comfortable public space.

service flow
As a working prototype, I created eccentric handles bending a ladle of IKEA, hollowing out a secondhand book, and installed them on the Northern line at 9:00 pm. Someone who was curious about them took pictures on the camera and someone passed me their toy magic wand to hang it next to my handles.
research
In order to extract what is the element of comfort in a scene where people gather and work on something, I conducted ethnographic research while working creatively with utensils in the kitchen, and later video analysis. From that point on, I defined that a simple task consisted of repetition, that people were relieved to know the amount work left to do, and that involving people required call and response.
