The Design

About Vintage Remix Interior de Apartamento

Vintage Remix é um projeto de design de interiores para uma nova residência de 130 metros quadrados em Sófia, Bulgária. Dois armários franceses vintage ocupam o coração da área de estar e jantar, ao lado de duas peças escultóricas de aço feitas sob medida: um bar combinado com divisória e uma estante. O contraste entre a madeira envelhecida e acolhedora, com delicados trabalhos de intarsia, e o aço industrial escuro orienta todo o conceito. Ambas as peças de aço são feitas de chapa de 3 mm cortada a laser, dobrada em oficina e montada no local. O bar também funciona como anteparo que oculta o acesso aos quartos privativos.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The acquisition of two vintage French cabinets from an antiquity store marks the beginning of this interior project for a new 130 m2 apartment. They are placed in the heart of the living/dining area and are juxtaposed to two custom-made sculptural steel pieces – bar/screen and bookshelf. The intent was to create a refreshing tension between old and new - warm aged wood with intricate intarsia and the industrial feel of the dark steel structures.
Dimensions & Packaging: The shelves for the Harmonica Shelving Unit are made of 16 mm MDF with stained oak veneer and are cantilevered from the steel structure by interlocking them between front and back steel plates by gravity only.
Tags: vintage, remix, custom, harmonica, contemporary
Production Technology: Both custom pieces: Harmonica Bar and Overhang and Harmonica Shelving Unit are produced by 3 mm laser cut steel plate. The separate steel bands are then folded in a steel workshop and assembled on site.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was to create a working prototype and to find the wright producer of the custom steel structures. The limited length of the perforated steel bands that can be machine folded was another factor that affected the overall dimensions of the final product.
Inspiration: The current progressive trends of upcycling and re-use of old furniture in a contemporary setting serve as an inspiration for the design process.
Project Duration: The project was designed in 2016 and was executed in 2017-2018 in
Sofia, Bulgaria
Operation Flow: Harmonica Bar and Overhang is the heart of the kitchen and a focal point of the entry zone of the apartment. Both screen and bar – its graphite silhouette is reflected in the mirrored back of the tall glazed cabinet. The structure screens from the living area the access to the master bedroom and the concealed doors of the master bathroom and the powder room. The inhabitants constantly experience it's porous sculptural volume in their circulation and daily routine.
