The project was showcased for an internal design review for C-level executives and now it's displayed at the Hyundai silicon valley office.

Designed specially for search and rescue operations - the Human-centered Active Seating Concept (stretcher). Our innovative design is centered around the human body, placing emphasis on safety and comfort and achieving a lightweight structure.

For the safety, we implemented a flexible and adaptive seating system that allows for easy adjustments based on the user's needs.

To enhance the user comfort, we utilized 3D knitting with an integrated spacer that provides extra cushioning and support. This unique feature ensures that the user is comfortable and relaxed during what can often to be a stressful situation. This technology also provides seamless design without cutting and wasting mateirals.

In additional to safety and comfort, we've utilized the Autodesk's optimization structure technology to keep the stretcher lightweight and easy to maneuver. The metal shell is filled with a gyroid structure, providing a strong and durable frame while keeping the weight to a minimum.
