About Manzo Bedroom Furniture
Manzo is a bedroom furniture collection that includes a wide chest of drawers, a standard chest of drawers and a nightstand. The design is inspired by the interplay of light and shadow seen when sunlight passes through tree leaves. Two materials are combined so that each keeps its own character while supporting the whole. The bodies are made of plywood with a walnut veneer, which removes the need for edge banding. All curves are pressed in one mold, and the upper part is carved by CNC and finished with semi-matte polyurethane paint. The glass panel can be replaced if damaged.

- Production Technology
- The whole body of this product-set is made by Plywood. to emphasize the feeling of being natural and at the same time not needing to be edge-banding. All the bends can be made by the same plywood press mold, so that costs and optimal production methods are considered. Also, we considered the final layer of plywood to be a walnut veneer to create a more attractive finish. The upper part is created by CNC carving the curve and finally it is finished with a semi-matte polyurethane paint coating. And finally, the part where the glass is placed is designed so that it can be replaced in case of damage. Also, we considered the connections in such a way that the possibility of after-sales service can be performed in an optimal process.
- Design Challenge
- Attaching the glass to the painted plywood body in the design of the large Manzo drawer was one of the main challenges we faced in this project. We dedicated a significant amount of time to exploring and designing various details to achieve an ideal balance between aesthetics, functionality, and manufacturability. Each proposed solution was carefully evaluated from both a technical and aesthetic perspective. After testing and reviewing multiple options, we ultimately selected a design that not only addressed this challenge effectively but also met our design goals perfectly.
- Inspiration
- Our inspiration stems from the dance of light and shadow that emerges as sunlight filters through the leaves of trees. This interplay symbolizes the coexistence of contrast, much like life, where delicacy and strength are interdependent. In crafting this collection, two distinct materials are combined in a way that allows each to maintain its individuality while serving the beauty of the whole. This natural
