Professional Tabletop Easel

Type: Individual project

Date: 2026

Duration: 3 months

Problem

Traditional tabletop easels are primarily made of wood. While this material is a market standard due to its long-standing association with the art industry, it lacks durability. Painting is a messy process, and paint often spreads onto the easel body, damaging the wood, degrading its aesthetic, and making it difficult to clean. Additionally, wooden easels are labor-intensive to manufacture and require longer production time. They are also often visually and physically heavy. Although aluminum has been introduced as an alternative material, but they often adopt a utilitarian aesthetic that lacks the tactile warmth and heritage of traditional artist tools.

Objective

Benefiting from aluminum extrusion properties to redesign traditional tabletop easels without compromising visual appeal.
