An Object That Could Use a Little Design Attention: The BunkTrunk, a Bed-Mounted Locker for College Dorms
The BunkTrunk is an elevated locker designed to be integrated with your average dorm room single bed.
I appreciate the thinking behind it: It can be “installed” by simply shoving the base under a mattress, it’s elevated so as not to interfere with your feet, it works on both top and bottom bunks, it provides a viewing platform for your laptop if you want to Netflix in bed, and it safely locks away your valuables. However, I find the design a little underwhelming:
I give the design high marks for function, but I think it could use some design attention in the aesthetics department. To that end, I think this would be a great assignment for an ID student class: Can you hit the $219 retail price point, but design something easier on the eyes?
