About Fluid Oppbevaringsskap
Fluid er et oppbevaringsskap designet for stue- og kontormiljøer. Skapet oppbevarer dokumenter og små hverdagsgjenstander. Korpusen og hyllene er laget av øko-plater, et materiale fritt for formaldehyd og kjemiske utslipp. Den utvendige overflaten er dekket med kork som er preget med et strukturert korkmønster som fremkaller de naturlige runde linjene i stein og tre. Bronsehåndtak tilfører et skulpturelt element. Interiøret er ferdigbehandlet i matt mørk messing. Mønsteret er inspirert av chinoiserie-kunst og dens fine filigransarbeid.

- Production Technology
- Corps and shelves of Fluid Cabinet made from ECO Boards. This material is the best alternative of MDF because it is free from formaldehyde and chemical emissions. Then the corps is dressed
by cork embedded with pattern of textured cork. Cork comes from the bark of the cork oak tree. This tree is only one whose bark can be remote without dying. After harvesting, the tree goes on to produce new layers and form its protective barrier. As the trees grow up, the harvests deliver thicker cork that is even better quality. Therefore this material is absolutely ecological by nature. For reinforcing cork from crumble and skretching we use special finish which stay invisible. - Design Challenge
- The hardest part of working on design of Fluid Cabinet was to unite aesthetic with techinical aspects. I carefully searched the suitable materials which combine a visual allure, technical characteristics for production, ecological representetive and good market price.
- Research
- The idea was to work in artistic crafts technique and with natural ecological material. Cork is very attracting and inspiring for production stuff. Not only because it is very light, waterproof, solid, and sustainable but also because no tree is cut down to harvest cork which is extrimelly important for saving the nature.
Also cork has a high level resistance to friction and tear caused by the numerous passages what is very important for furniture.
Besides all these qualities I was fascinated by the aesthetic of cork which is warm and tactile. - Inspiration
- The fluid pattern was inspired by the Chinoiserie art with it's fine tracery and its subtle sides. The concept was to combine artistic technic work and modern appearence.
- Project Duration
- The project started in Febrary 2020 in Paris. We would like to exhibit it in Collectible Design 2021 in Bruxelles.
- Operation Flow
- The Fluid Cabinet is intended to be used in interior of Living and Office spaces.
