FIXPERTS – Heavy Furniture Transport

Design Process Film

This film was produced to document the entire design process of the FIXPERTS Brunel University project done in March 2014. We worked alongside Trinity Homeless Project, who recycled unwanted domestic furniture, provided paid employment and training for disadvantaged people and offered good quality, affordable furniture.

Traditionally they either used flatbed transport devices or just lifted the load themselves, by doing this they can inflict back injuries from the awkward carrying positions and the heavy weight.

Our solution to this problem was a product that consisted of 4 corner bases on wheels that enabled the collection team to transport different types, sizes and shapes of furniture.
