About Asa Dressoir
Dit project is geïnspireerd op een traditioneel folkloristisch decoratief geschrift. Het wordt gepresenteerd met een combinatie van rode, blauwe, blauwzwarte, groene, olie- en kakikleuren. Er wordt gedacht dat het wordt gebruikt als dressoir en als decoratief object in zowel moderne als klassieke huizen. Het probeert traditie te combineren met het moderne leven. Het toont de manier om de wortels te herinneren, maar ook om naar de toekomst te kijken. Het toont de transformatie van iets ouds naar iets nieuws. Eenvoud met een vleugje elegantie.

Subsequent to the technical performance of the scheme in the wood through a specific printer that could capture the particular project in every detail. - Inspiration
- In our effort to interpret new and different cultures, we can lead to paths unknown, that had never been imagined. On these paths, we discover new themes, untold stories, interesting shapes, unrevealed colours. In this diversity that might have seemed important in the beginning, we might recognize another personality of us that might had been well hidden.My basic inspiration was the Indian art of tattoos; my attempt was to reveal something that I love, by creating something with a particular theme, dimension and subject.
- Project Duration
- This project is in a concept stage & has not been prototyped or constructed. The concept work started in January of 2017 & ended by the end of February 2017.
- Operation Flow
- The primary function is as a storage unit, but the combination of simplicity and the imposing form, transforms it into a powerful piece of decoration for any contemporary or traditional house.
