About Waves Kast
Waves is een modulaire kast ontworpen voor opbergruimte in de slaapkamer. De unit bestaat uit zeven onafhankelijke gelakte houten kasten die samen gerangschikt kunnen worden. Waves meet 1800 mm in breedte, 750 mm in diepte en 1800 mm in hoogte. Verstelbare planken bieden ruimte voor cosmetica en kleine kledingstukken, grote lades bieden plaats aan kleding en accessoires, en een uitschuifbare kledinghanger bevindt zich aan de zijkant. Een push-to-open systeem houdt de buitenoppervlakken strak en vrij van handgrepen. De vorm is geïnspireerd op een golf die op het punt staat te verdwijnen op de kust. Een enkele matblauwe tint is met de hand geschilderd, zowel van binnen als van buiten.

- Production Technology
- The project contains 7 independent cabinets made out of lacquered wood and works with push to open system which leds to a second base of wavy experience by smoothly sliding drawers. A single tone of matte blue hand-painted inside and out as a statement of water.
- Design Challenge
- The starting point was to manipulate the boundaries of simple, conventional cabinets that stand on one side of the room and have no other feature than their function inside. How will it be both monumental and have enough space to store? How it will be communicated with the environment and the users? How the exterior can be used to exhibit or store by creating surfaces? How to create a wave sculpture that answers all the above?
- Research
- The idea of a closet that is both highly functional and good-looking sparkled when the designer got uncomfortable with his closet. The process involved transforming a large traditional wardrobe into a user-friendly storage item that would contribute to the atmosphere of the room. The designer has experimented with the form by modeling according to the determined needs and the inspiration of the water element. Thus, a piece of sculptural furniture with comfortable use and sufficient space emerged.
- Inspiration
- A wave is one of the most familiar natural phenomena to the designer since he grew up by the Mediterranean Sea. So he picked a scene that he thought was special. It is a frozen moment of a wave that is about to disappear on the shore, an abstracted solid piece of water. From bottom to top, it represents the unique random overlapping action. When the body language of the piece of water transformed into a sharp, linear form; it becomes boxy yet messy.
- Project Duration
- The project started in July 2021 in Iskenderun, and finished in November 2021 in Istanbul.
- Operation Flow
- By pushing from the center on each surface, it automatically opens, you reach to drawers, and adjustable shelves. The same pushing process goes for closing as well.
