| dc.description.abstract | Micro-apartments are a trend which is rising in the metropolitan cities in recent years. These single-room apartments are in high demand by young professionals due to their lifestyle. Research has shown that because these micro-apartments have no separation of different functionalities, people search to solve this problem. People use standard solutions or products to solve. It generally comes with the problem of hard to carry it around when they move and high prices. This study aims to discover further possibilities to design a divider that is more suitable for the specific target group, including literature research and interviews. The design aims to cover sustainability, portability, and affordability and make it more available. | en |
