Free and Easy
Free and Easy is an easel designed for small studios, art classrooms and outdoor sketching. Common triangular easels take up space during storage and transport and block the view between artists and teachers. Free and Easy has a flat and compact shape when folded, which saves space and reduces transport costs. The frame is made of wood and nylon engineering plastic, with metal fasteners and magnets. Two plastic wheels adjust the height of the drawing board. A combined box cover and palette keeps painting tools within easy reach.
Free and Easy Easel by Wenkai Xue has been recognized as a grand example of industrial design by the A' Design Award. Free and Easy Easel was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in Art and Stationery Supplies Design in 2020. The A' Art and Stationery Supplies Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design award which honors exceptional design of brushes, paints, sketchbooks, pencils, pastels, easels, canvases, markers and more.
