202A : Modular shelving system
202A : 模块化搁架系统

 
202A由2M2为美学平台Malt的线上商店设计,提供模块化搁架系统,为用户创造空间规划的自由与自主能力,迎接混合性场所的未来趋势。
 
Designed by 2M2 for the online shop of aesthetic platform Malt, 202A offers a modular shelving system that creates freedom and autonomy in space planning for users and embraces the future trend of hybrid places.

该系列以首次运行在202A创意空间的办公解决方案得名。起初作为一种可以同时满足居家及办公需要的非定制搁架,现已演变成搁架与支撑架组合的多场景通用家具。
 
The collection is named after the office solution that first ran in the 202A creative space. What started as a non-customised shelving that could be used both at home and in the office has evolved into a multi-scenario universal furniture system that combines shelves and supports.

LIGHT & HEAVY
轻与重

 
它的初始目标是解决固定式框架的原始负担,即承重和轻质性之间的零和,随后考虑到整个复杂的当代全景。这指明,开发一种强大且灵活的适应性方案,而不是寻求特定的形态。
 
Its initial goal was to address the original burden of fixed frames, the zero-sum between load-bearing and lightness, and subsequently to take into account the entire complex contemporary panorama. This points to the development of a strong and flexible adaptive programme rather than the search for a specific form.

COVID-19加剧了该想法的必要性,地理中断意味着面临临时转移与适应新环境的需求。一切围绕着通用方法的可行性——更广泛、更适用、更灵活的搁架方式。换句话说,这是一个坚固、灵活、自适应的模块化系统,可鼓励使用和任何人的创意想法。
​ 
 
 
 

The need for the idea was exacerbated by covid-19, where geographic disruption meant facing the need for temporary transfers and adapting to new environments. Everything revolves around the feasibility of a universal approach – a broader, more applicable and flexible approach to shelving. In other words, a robust, flexible, adaptive modular system that encourages use and anyone’s creative ideas.

202A modular shelving system
 
202A是一种模块化搁架系统,作为通用搁架的一项创新,它以高度灵活的模块单元带来了最大程度的拓展性、适应性与超强承重。其中包含一系列灵活的组件和模块,所有组件都被限制在一个成人臂长范围内。
 
The 202A is a modular shelving system, an innovation in universal shelving that brings maximum expansion, adaptability and superior load bearing in a highly flexible modular unit. It contains a range of flexible components and modules, all of which are limited to an adult arm length.

这一设计支持实现不同的组合方案。垂直系统也是数字支持单元,可以独立作为电视支撑使用。所有固定方式均为可逆连接,框架形态取决于用户自定义,在无限拓展的前提下支持拆解和重新配置,以满足流动性与场景创意。另一方面,它服务于空间。202A带来每搁板60kg的承重范围,用于配置包括家庭,办公室,会议室,商业展陈场景甚至大型图书馆在内的各种空间,并且进一步支持特定情形的自适应。

This system supports the realisation of different combination solutions. The vertical system is also a digital support unit and can be used independently as a TV support. All fixings are reversible connections and the frame form depends on user customisation, supporting disassembly and reconfiguration for mobility and scenario creativity in the context of unlimited expansion. On the other hand, it serves the space. 202A brings a load range of 60kg per shelf to configure a variety of spaces including homes, offices, meeting rooms, commercial exhibition scenarios and even large libraries, and further supports situation-specific adaptations.

T-post pole
Patented solution

 
202A旨在为流动居住环境和复杂空间提供通用方案,创造一种可即时响应空间变化和转移需求的新型搁架,这意味着集成该类产品的优点,并综合解决它们的局限。
 
202A aims to provide a universal solution for mobile living environments and complex spaces, creating a new type of shelving that responds instantly to changing and shifting spatial needs, which means integrating the benefits of the category and addressing their limitations in an integrated way.

T-post杆架结构是这项创新的核心,它支持创建更敏捷和自由变化的非定制搁架。这一设计取消了超长连续杆和固定安装方式,采用获得专利的结构方案,确保整个框架的力学紧凑。它在可无限拓展的基础上允许多样化的配置: 杆架长度可以依靠杆单元的节数——配合伸缩底座——进一步适配,尤其当遇到跨水平天花,它可以轻松实现不对称的序列而不是依靠定制。
​ 
 

At the heart of this innovation is the T-post pole frame structure, which supports the creation of more agile and freely changing non-custom shelving. The design eliminates the need for extra-long continuous rods and fixed installations, and uses a patented structural solution that ensures that the entire frame is mechanically compact. It allows for a wide variety of configurations on an infinitely expandable basis: the length of the post can be further adapted depending on the number of sections of the post unit – in conjunction with the telescopic base – allowing for asymmetrical sequences rather than customisation, especially when it comes to spanning horizontal ceilings.

Expansion of furniture
in non-shelf forms

 
革新的T-post杆架方案目前是原创和唯一的。卡位环节被视为实现广泛连接的关键,它使整杆可以作为独立的支撑元素,配合悬挂设备实现媒体功能或其它拓展。例如,T-post杆架在不增加结构件的情况下,可以单独作为电视支架使用,实现非搁物形式的家具拓展,这在历史产品中绝无仅有。
 
The revolutionary T-post rod holder solution is now the original and only one of its kind. The clamping link is seen as the key to a wide range of connections, allowing the entire pole to be used as an independent support element for media functions or other extensions in conjunction with hanging devices. For example, the T-post can be used as a TV stand on its own without adding structural elements, allowing for a non-shelf furniture extension that is unique in the history of the product.

General Solutions
 
 
202A为各种类型的空间(居家、办公、商业展示、美术馆、图书馆)提供了无限的组合可能性,每种空间通过不同的序列、配置和大小映射各自的身份。各个组件都基于其精确的结构功能而设计。
 
202A offers infinite possibilities for combining various types of spaces (home, office, commercial display, gallery, library), each mapping their own identity through different sequences, configurations and sizes. Each component is designed based on its precise structural function.
