Capsule equipment for prisons

その他
Capsule equipment for prisons is a project created to equip prison cells for temporary detention where people under investigation are kept. Prisons have a very important function so security measures must always be in the first place. However, the interiors of prison cells and their equipment must be designed carefully for they can soften the frustration and nervousness of the people kept inside. Designing the equipment we tried to imagine and understand what a person might feel if he’s taken to prison and is under investigation. To calm people down we apply neutral cool colors and natural materials. It is also crucial to create a private space where a person can feel himself protected. In the search for inspiration we looked at the ocean in its noble tranquility and chose the form of its wave as the basis for our design. Due to its natural form the wave helps to get away from sharp edges making the prison cell safer and less traumatic and creates flowing forms that positively influence people’s mood and lower the aggression. OSB boards and Re-Board carton panels were chosen as the main materials because they are natural and recyclable, because of that it is possible to change the capsule for a new person each time. The equipment also has got a set of extractable plastic tables and drawers which expand the functions of the capsule. During the creation of the capsule equipment all the construction was thought through.

The use of the capsule equipment in a prison cell. The equipment consists of the base with two drawers and two capsules one on top of the other. Each capsule is designed for one person.

At the bottom of the equipment is stored a transforming carton stool.

The construction of the equipment is thought through and consists of carton layers that are held together with the help of metallic bolts. The equipment has got additional plastic elements.
