Mango Naranja Refined Idea number 1

This is one of the two refined designs that Mango Naranja we want to present to our customers. After receiving feedback from our clients, it became clear to us that their favorite features of Cristina’s designs are: not having to bend down to reach the canned goods on the lower shelf, modularity and connection of the cabins, wooden materials and decoration of mosaic inspired by Turkish culture, the flexibility of storing preserves in different types of geometry and jar size, as well as the fact that spices can be dried in the furniture itself. Also the fact that it can be moved from the terrace to the kitchen

We have tried to put all those features in a single design. This design is based on the original design of the carousel system, from which several changes and redesigns have been made.

Changes Made

  1. A panel has been added to the base of the furniture to prevent humidity from the terraces from damaging the preserves.
  2. The legs have been changed to 4 swivel wheels that can be braked.
  3. The dimensions have been slightly reduced so that it takes up less space
  4. The carousel system has been modified. Now this is on both sides so that the crank can be changed from side to side.
  5. Points 3 and 4 allow modularity so that the user can choose if they want to buy 1 or 2 pieces of furniture, these can be arranged side by side or facing each other from the back.
  6. The geometry of the drawers has been modified so that bottles can be stored or a divider added.
  7. To store the bottles, simple concave-shaped bottle racks are provided; these, if not used, could be stored in the new lower panel mentioned in point 1.
  8. A metal rack has been added to dry the spices. This could slide along the back of the furniture with rails when not in use.

CRISTINA CANTÓS

My name is Cristina Cantós, I am a student of Industrial Design and Product Development Engineering at Tecnun-Unav, a university located in the city of San Sebastian, Spain. However, my family home is on the island of Mallorca, located in the Mediterranean Sea. For me, Mallorca is an idyllic place, especially in the low tourist season, as the climate is unbeatable and the diversity of the landscape allows you to discover new spots all the time. In 2025 I will graduate, and my goal is to find a company to work for. I don't care if it's in Spain or elsewhere, as I've always wanted to go and live abroad. I like to be creative, to innovate, and to make my projects in order to provide an effective solution to society's problems. Apart from this, one of the fields of work I am interested in is User Interface (in any sector). Going more into personal matters, the sport I like the most is golf, I love ballet and listening to music all the time, I prefer to stay at home cooking or with a good book rather than partying all night long. And I would like to start a ceramics course and keep progressing in learning more languages. At the moment I'm fluent in Spanish, Catalan, English, and I've started to learn French. I'm not a mobile addict but I can be contacted via WhatsApp, Linkedin, Gmail and soon Behance; Instagram sometimes, as it's a platform I only use during holidays.
