Sustainable Mobile Market Stall!

The brief:

To design a market stall which is sustainable, light weight, easy to transport, and able to be stored in a locker at the end of the day or in the trunk of a car.

My approach to sustainable design is to keep it straightforward and simplistic - no complicated devices, or cutting edge technology. Using well known technologies common in hiking and camping equipment and to make use of the same mechanism used in mobile 4 arm washing lines.



The market stall must be able to disassemble or fold to the size of 150cm and weigh not more than 12kg. To achieve this goal the absolute minimal amount of materials must be used.



Assembling of the stall:


1 Stall folded to transport to stand position: all components for the assembly inside carry bag.
2 Belts are fastened to legs to give structure stability.


3 The extensions of the canopy are assembled.
4 Insert and open the side poles, fasten the belts to the legs, but do not tighten the belts.



5 Separate the poles to extend the canopy, canopy is then tensioned.
6 Stabilizing the structure by fastening the belts, clip on the baskets with the turn clips.


The stall is now ready to use...
