RESEARCH

Prefers a design that can cater to his photography needs and storage for his typewriter while keeping in mind needs for the 21st century and technology.

Industrial, eclectic, vintage, hardwood aesthetics Safety and security are main concerns. (Locks, slip-proof, lighting) Storage solutions for all of his camera and writing gear as well as a few books and mementos from travels.

MOOD BOARD

CONCEPT

Adriano’s photography and writing is heavily influenced by his travels. By interpreting luggage as drawers, we can create a unique look that creatively solves his storage needs.

Secret compartments add to the mystery of the design, and certain areas allow for the showcase of specific objects such as his typewriter and favorite bottle of whiskey.
