Stand Printer: A Space-Saving Solution for Single-Person Households

A Printer Design That Blends Seamlessly Into Your Everyday Life

Increase in single-person households has led to the emergence of the necessity for space-saving products. As more people opt for storage furniture and multi-purpose items, the demand for space efficiency has grown. This trend has also given rise to the need for small electronic devices. In response, designer Wonkyung Jang has created the Stand Printer, a printer that seamlessly integrates into our daily lives as a piece of furniture.

The Stand Printer stands out from existing printers due to its innovative design that prioritizes space efficiency. Unlike traditional printers that focus solely on high technology, this printer is designed to blend naturally into our everyday lives. It is not just a printer; it is a functional piece of furniture that fits perfectly in any space.

The Stand Printer is made from high-quality materials such as ABS plastic for the printer cover, control button, side cover, and paper tray, rubber for the paper feed rollers, and stainless steel for the printer inside frame. The production method used is injection molding, ensuring a durable and precise final product. The printer also features an AC inlet, PC board, and cartridge for added convenience.

With dimensions of 540mm in width, 280mm in depth, and 100mm in height, the Stand Printer is compact and space-saving. Its package dimensions are 560mm in width, 300mm in depth, and 120mm in height, making it easy to transport and store.

The Stand Printer offers several unique features that enhance user experience. It includes a drawer input tray on the left side, allowing users to neatly store papers and close the drawer for a clutter-free workspace. On the right side, there is a sliding output tray that can be easily pulled out when printing. The Stand Printer also features a scan function, allowing users to scan A4 papers by placing them in the input tray. The scanned papers are then moved to the output tray, enabling users to scan multiple papers at once. Additionally, ink cartridge replacement is simple and hassle-free, with the right cover of the printer easily opening for maintenance.

The Stand Printer project started in January 2016 and was completed in February 2016 in South Korea. The design was inspired by the growing need for space-saving products due to the rise of single-person households. The designer conducted extensive research on small, efficient, safe, and self-managing products to meet the target needs of users. The sleek and minimalist design of the Stand Printer perfectly embodies these principles.

The Stand Printer has received recognition for its outstanding design. It was awarded the Silver A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category in 2016. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate exceptional expertise, innovation, and artistic skill. The Stand Printer's combination of technical excellence and aesthetic appeal has captured the attention and admiration of experts in the field.

With the Stand Printer, designer Wonkyung Jang has successfully created a printer that goes beyond its primary function and seamlessly integrates into our daily lives. Its space-saving design, functionality, and sleek aesthetic make it a valuable addition to any single-person household or small space. The Stand Printer is a testament to the power of innovative design in improving our lifestyle and enhancing our living spaces.
