company brand name
romanelli design
product name
dt bed
I have chosen these names according to the lectures. I think both of them are easy to remember and short. Although some may critize "Romanelli design" because of the double "l" spelling but if you think in a logical way, most of the italian surnames are spelled with double "L"; so I think that possible gap i the naming isn't so relevant. Most of us is used to italian surnames; that can be known from stadistics. As concerns to "DT BED" the name came from the original name I have put to the artifact: "detachable table system" but I made some improvements because it was too long and if I put "system" as final name it wouldn't be so easy to recognize it was a bed. (without looking at the photos)

As my artifact consists in a bed I couldn't just make holes to my bed or create a new one so I chose to put my best energy and create a photoshop version of how the bed may look. I try to used the materials and the details in the best way that I knew.
The artifact has a rotating system were two legs are rotated and they remain in a vertical way so the user is able to add the table that is stored in the lower part of the bed. There we generate a space for work with different transparent surfaces that allow us to put out notebook without risks of slipping, glasses without fear of ruinning the wooden surface and a surface that makes possible to put skotch on without ruinning the wood.

brief explanation of further refinements
I think this artifact can be improved by having a storage place for the table. One option that comes to my mind is to add some section in the back of the bed head. I think that this refinement would help to mantain the table free of dust and dirt. Another improvement could be to add a kind of motivational staff in the table (taking into account that it works as a desk or a working table. At last but not least I would add some legs in the section of "drawing" as a sort of drawing board for designers.

understanding the artifact in deep.
DETACHABLE TABLE SYSTEM.
Magic becomes reality! All you have to do is open this small legs from the sides of your bed, put the table on and start to work. This big space that DR design created gives the user the possibility to sleep and work in the same place. It also serves as a big tray if you want to eat here. You have special surfaces for different functions. (computer and drawing table) It is light, easy to use and comfortable.
