As a school project assignment, we were given the topic of heating technology. What bothered me about the heating technique was that it was mostly seasonal things. Therefore, I wanted to design a product that would be used all year round. It occurred to me to use heating to dry wet shoes, as we encounter adverse weather conditions at every time of year. I decided to design a shoe rack with an integrated heating function, which, as I found out, has almost no representation on the market.

The final product consists of a self-supporting structure, which is made of steel sheet with a thickness of 8 mm in the form of laser material separation. The fillings themselves are made of 2 mm thick sheet steel. The sheets are bent on a press brake and are connected to each other by welding and a locking joint. Subsequently, they are still detachably connected to the sidewalls.

A heating coil is placed between the sheets, which is led out along the entire circumference of the two floors, in addition to the seating one. The upper sides of these two floors are equipped with a perforation made on a die-cutting machine. The perforations serve to get the warm air up, at the same time each of the shelves has a full plate at the bottom, so that water, especially from the shoes on the upper floor, does not drip into the shoes below them.

All welded edges are ground to prevent injury during use. I chose soft morphology to make the product suitable for families with children. The bottom plate of the foundation is equipped with four welded nuts at the top, for secure attachment of the nylon rectifying legs. These eliminate possible unevenness of the floor and at the same time offer the product left-handedness, because thanks to them it is possible to take the cable from the heating spiral to both sides.
