RoRo The Library
Furniture Design, Public Installation & Branding
RO-RO is a modular furniture designed to promote reading experience and advocates social issues including poverty alleviation of minority groups. Rolling out of second-handed books and story-telling activities to reach children and ethnic minority families in Hong Kong.
Originated from the idea of “rolling out”, RO-RO is a furniture + play system designed to be stackable and expandable. The idea is to create a book container that fit into a retired wheel-chair access taxi that tours around the city and transform as a pop-up library for children’s participation upon destination.
RO-RO is a combination of recycled & new materials, by easy interlocking of wood panels, they can transform into chairs, tables, bookshelf, shelter……a colorful reading club can be created instantly. RO-RO brings fun, meaningful & free reading experience to children and at the same time, delivering an important message on upcycling materials.
