Description
The design conjecture I came up with for my focus topic, camping, is called the frunk view, an installed extension structure in the frunk space for users to hammock rest. This design is inspired by the article about camping essentials and tips (Shorr-Mckee, 2023) and how EVs change camping culture (Valdes-Dapena, 2024). With the frunk view, campers can effortlessly enjoy serenity in the frunk space. Once operated, the hidden poles will pop out and extend. The angle of the poles can be adjusted to the driver’s needs depending on different geographies, user height, and weight. After that, the camper can hang the hammock on the poles with the hooks and begin to enjoy. The hammock is also designed to be multifunctional, which can be transformed into a sleeping bag when it comes to actual sleep time at night. Overall, this design conjecture can benefit campers by reducing the amount of stuff they have to bring and also offering a unique relaxing experience utilizing the frunk area.
