About Picasso Kredenc

Picasso je kredenc dizajniran za moderne enterijere. Komad kombinuje masivno Tzalam drvo sa panelima kaljenog stakla koji su ručno oslikani sa zadnje strane u različitim tonovima boja. Drvo se reže mašinama pod kompjuterskom kontrolom, a završna obrada se izvodi ručno. Konstrukciju drže spojevi na pero i utor, a noge imaju uglaste oblike. Vrata su opremljena šarkama za meko zatvaranje. Šest slojeva poliuretana štite površinu i ističu teksturu drveta. Kredenc se može postaviti uz zid u prostoriji ili hodniku, ili koristiti kao pregrada između različitih zona prostora.

The biggest challenge in this particular piece was the designing of the wooden joints with glass, and adjustments of the structure to glass, and the process to paint the glass in an industrial and yet unique way to paint all 5 pieces of front in the same alignment and similar look.
Also a specific search of materials was made in order to find the correct ones that would give the desired effect and engage with all the rest of the elements in a practical, yet resistant way, without affecting the originality and luxurious projection.
Research
It implicated an extensive study of the work of Pablo Picasso, and technology needed to paint in several shapes the glass panels from behind. From there the designer extracted the purest and conceptual forms in order to make a more modern and interactive design.
Inspiration
The intention of the designer in this collection is to inspire to dare through a provocative and energetic mysticism. The angular shapes take the eye by surprise, inviting them to stop and contemplate this piece of furniture, as a spectator would do in front of a painting. Inspired by the whimsical but studied strokes of the painter Pablo Picasso, he tries to propose a bold avant-garde conceptual design.
