Design Details
- Unique Properties
- "Open showcase" concept allows to provide not only a free access to storage, but also forms a space visual ecology: without obstructing with blind partitions that obscure the light, block a quick view and create a sense of a warehouse. The system impresses with its modern language of forms, functional, human-oriented design based on aesthetic principles of sustainability, as well as a well-thought-out and concept of design, production and simple assembly and installation.
- Inspiration
- Universal interior system is suitable for all space styles thanks to simple shapes and familiar materials. The wardrobe is one of those places in the house where an active day begins and where it ends. This is the space in the house that connects us with the outside world: if we choosing an outfit for new achievements are immersed in home comfort and tranquility. It doesn't matter if the storage system is located in a separate room or is a part of a living space - it should be beautiful. We went further and created a system that can work for any kind of room of the house (bedroom, livingroom, entrance hall, playroom and even kitchen).
- Research
- We made several ergonomic tests to find the ideal height for all elements. The goal was to create a convenient system of elements without the need for additional devices to use it. Results: we hang the lower elements at a height of 100 mm from the floor for easy cleaning of the room. We install clothes rod at 2 heights to place clothes of different lengths. We install the highest hanger at a height of 2240 mm from the floor, which can be easily used by a person of average height. From the top shelf to the ceiling there is a place to store boxes, even if the ceiling is not higher than 2500 mm.
- Challenge
- Wood is a universal and familiar material that never goes out of fashion. The diversity of the nature of the wood itself gives us a reason for new ideas and inspiration.
- Realization and Technology
- Using wood as a material that known and accepted uniting all people on the earth. We cover wood an ecological color oil, protecting the environment and human health. Thanks to the perfect connection of the parts at an angle of 45 degrees, the design looks elegant with an accentuated pure geometry. All elements are supplied full ready for installation, so the assembly does not take much time. Any element can eventually be replaced by another necessary element. There is no need to disassemble the entire system.
