KC2-1 Planet Throne is an optimized version based on KC2 Gravity Chase. KC2 gravity chasing back learning chair because of its unique gravity chasing back experience, once listed, it has been recognized by consumers. However, in the process of marketing operation, it was found that among the mainstream audience, many children of intended buyers weighed less than 25kg and had poor experience in using gravity models.
Therefore, the re-development of a chair suitable for a wider age range of adaptive back chasing experience has become the basic goal of our project research and development.
* Adaptive back chasing: no need to adjust by hand, just sit upright
* Expanding the age-appropriate population
* cost-down optimization experience upgrade

1 Team Introduction
Yike Planet is a brand-new sub-brand dedicated to the development of children's study tables and chairs and adult lifting tables under Yongyi Chair Industry.
In-house design:gu yinjia | zhang yujie | xu huanbin
Team members from the traditional home, 3C electronics, kitchen appliances, automobile manufacturing and other industries. Good at cross-industry cooperation and development, responsible for project planning and design research and development.

2 Departure Design:
Follow the brand childlike innocence aesthetics and PI definition, based on wisdom affinity, soft and simple, vivid and organic style setting.
How to function, experience, form and cost balance is the biggest difficulty of this design.

We adhere to the standard of functional experience. Under the standard sitting posture, children do not need assistance. The back of the chair is attached to the back with one key, so that the back is supported.
Redefining the back-chasing system, based on the flexible and silky physical characteristics of the four-bar linkage, we choose a customized miniature air rod and give a constant back-chasing force value. Solve the problem of underweight experience.

We adopt bionic structure design, and the track of back chasing imitates the experience of arm bending. Every back chasing experience is like the support of mother's big hand.
Refine the characteristics of the elbow joint, highlight the modeling differences between adaptive back chasing and gravity back chasing, ready-made serialization differences.

4 Development focus:
1. Core component physical attribute upgrade
* Miniature air rod: created by users. The park invited 50 school-age children to participate in product development. 13 times of customized proofing of air rod, training and chasing back force value, and conducting blind test experiments.

* Back chasing mechanism: laboratory durability test, 120000 stroke test

* Double back torsion piece: material upgrade, 8 soft hardness small batch trial production, 700 180 degree torsion violence tests to restore the support angle to ensure long-term support and fit.

2. Human-computer interaction experience design
* Chasing back experience
Two functional states: static support and dynamic support
With the movement with the post posture changes, inspiration is not constrained
Front, back, left, right, left, right, front, back support in real time

* Scientific sitting height stepless lift:
Half circle and half centimeter, one circle and one centimeter.
Infiniess knob adjustment, accurate to the millimetre, scientific sitting high recommended more healthy
110cm-180cm can use this children's learning chair

4. Development of surface accessories
The main fabric choice 3 anti-knitted fabric, waterproof and oil-proof anti-fouling
Color Definition Base Color Coral Powder, Blue and Attempt Color Early Yellow. The KC2-1 uses a variety of highly saturated color design, while improving the fashion attributes of the chair, it can also meet the needs of children of different ages for color, neither abrupt nor cheap.

Regarding CMF, yellow was selected in September 2022 as the identification color of the series, which is a more perceptual choice.
In terms of fashion trends, yellow is the Pantone color of the year in 2021. To some extent, this is a color that has not become popular. But as someone who was quarantined all 2022 spring, when I saw this smeared yellow beaker sample, I decided it had to be him.
Coincidentally, Apple suddenly sold a yellow color scheme alone recently. Perhaps this 2023 spring really needs a little vitality. This also greatly enhanced my confidence in the early days of the yellow.

Of course, the result was very rational. The yellow model was completely covered and was sold and cut off every day.

3. Logistics experience design is the focus of this design to optimize the experience
The whole package delivery has always been the exclusive benefit of high-end furniture brands, which means high logistics costs and good user experience. This contradiction has caused the entire children's table and chair industry to stop shipping.
As a start-up brand, we want to balance this contradiction through design. The new packaging is close to the self-contained design, and the small square box is packaged to maximize the use of unit space, reduce the waste of logistics storage space, and control the logistics cost.
At the same time, 99% pre-installation at the factory can better ensure the stability of the physical properties of the product. Only one wrench, two screws and three-step quick installation are required for home installation, which not only provides parents with greater convenience, but also gives children a certain installation experience.

With independent pedal, suitable for more table height

Learning is tiring to understand the lock switch to move with one's heart.

Finally
KC2-1 "small throne", as a newly defined back-chasing chair, the new structure has greatly reduced the cost, and has the opportunity to reduce the price of adaptive back-chasing mechanism products to less than 1,000 yuan. to protect the healthy development of the spine of more children. If you have low school-age children at home, this chair can be brainless.
At the same time, due to the optimization of structure and appearance based on ergonomics, the physical experience it gives users has not only been rigidly defined by our original crowd, but many mothers have bought it back for their own home office use.
