- Unique Properties
- The unique, custom made design presented in the front of the sideboard, reminisces of Mehndi, a traditional folklore decorative scripture reference that was used for religious reasons.
The detailed rim of the casing, the inside drawers with their diagonal lines, even the hinges and the way they operate and unite, as well as the metal support base with the slanted legs, indicate the absolute detail and unique properties in construction and design. - Dimensions & Packaging
- The dimension of the sideboard is 2500X520X790mm. The main structure is the combination of two MDF panel of thickness 12mm - total 240mm fact that gives us the a very specific detail in the structure of the sideboard. Its possible to produce in the whole range of RAL colors. The doors are in printed pattern slide or open in combination of 5 different colors or in black & white. Inside the cabinet there are shelves and drawers with special opening. Finally the structure of the legs is in satin or polished aluminum.

The technical part of producing the specific object , can be only achieved with a special printer that can capture this particular project with every necessary detail.
- Research
- The original investigation focused on the draft form and more specifically to these shapes.
In their final form in their final dimension to shape as well as the dimensions of these and of course to the combination of such diverse and disparate shapes and definitive end to the combination of colors
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.
