Bombo

DESIGN Elena Fagnani Rosalba Mele Roberto Radaelli Ambra Venturini YEAR of THE PROJECT 2021 - 2022

A Bombo for sanitising and playing. Approaching the world of order and cleanliness through cooperation.

In order to avoid the exchange of germs, bacteria and viruses in kindergartens and their transport to homes, optimised sanitisation of objects used by several children is needed.

Design a sanitisation and containment "system" for objects shared by childrens to educate them in the concept of hygiene/order/health. The product should be usable by children aged between 3 and 6, teachers and ATA staff. The interaction should also have a playful function in order to attract childrens.

The space must: - promote autonomy and learning; - promote relationships

Where is Bombo? How it fits into the class space?

Bombo's project stems from the need to make products that come into most contact with children (toys) cleaner. The theme of cooperation led us from the very first design phase to be inspired by the world of bees. The design phase of the project was characterised by the idea of wanting to create a product that would remind the child of the natural world but at the same time be friendly for its tender age. Bombo is a product that may look like a toy due to its aesthetics, but whose main features are safety for children, functionality for the classroom and a safe environment for children.

For the safety of children, access to the electrical outlet leading to the nebulizer startup, which is only positioned at the end of the day when children are not present, is secured by a locked flap.
