The Design

About Prism Kredenc

Kredenc Prism inspiriran je ljepotom dragulja i načinom na koji privlače našu pozornost, kako su brušeni kako bi pojačali refleksiju svjetla. Bezvremeni komad koji je romantičan, a opet oštar. Dizajnerski duo svoj rad vidi kao funkcionalnu umjetnost. Prismova zrcalna metalna površina dizajnirana je kao izvor kreativnosti za promatrača. Može odražavati prekrasan strop, drveće iza prozora, nebodere u gradu ili omiljeni predmet vlasnika postavljen na nju.

Unique Properties: Prism sideboard is inspired by the beauty of gems and the way they capture our attention, how they are cut to enhance the reflection of light. We wanted to create a timeless piece that is romantic, yet sharp. We see our work as ‘functional art’, we wish for its mirroring metallic top to be a source of creativity for the beholder. It can reflect a beautiful ceiling, the trees outside the window, or the skyscrapers in the city, or the owner's favourite object placed on it.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 1080 mm x Depth 470 mm x Hight 830 mm

Production Technology: The body of the cabinet is constructed in a way so we could use offcuts from other projects.
Dark wood sideboard: Ethically sourced PEFC certified Tasmanian oak furniture board + Rimex stainless steel mirror made from minimum 50% recycled steel. Eco-friendly, recyclable glass beads are used to etch the steel.
Light wood sideboard: Ethically sourced PEFC certified Scandinavian Birch plywood + Rimex stainless steel gold mirror made from minimum 50% recycled steel. Eco-friendly, recyclable glass beads are used to etch the steel.
Design Challenge: We put a lot of thoughts in to the angles and positions of the panels, as well as the general proportions of our sideboard. We wanted to find the perfect balance between round and sharp.
Research: We have researched and been inspired by vintage cabinets from multiple eras that all had in common that they were elaborated and seemed to be designed from a perspective with art and beauty in focus. We wanted to design a sideboard that have all of above mentioned but yet feels very modern and sharp in it's design. The durable mirroring metal top part is the most exclusive material of the furniture and will be able to mirror the world of the beholder for generations.
