Design Direction Design is an action based process, that is the act of giving form to ideas, often described as creative problem solving but ideally it is more than this and cannot only solve problems but reveal opportunities.

For our client we have structured a way of life coordinator, something practical, exciting and stylishly satisfying including customary and contemporary aesthetics of designing, diverse to the typical amenities. In this day and age its difficult to oblige every one of the necessities in a single cabinet thus not effortlessly open, consequently we have consolidated key design elements, such as, convenience, elective uses and accessibility for the customer, giving sufficient capacity alternatives for every one of her necessities making her collaboration with the product inside the space as unobtrusive as conceivable through the idea.

Concept The cabinet form is a polygonal shape resting on four wooden legs keeping the essense of traditional and contemporary aesthetics and features.

It is a storage unit for everyday essentials (clothes, bags, shoes, make-up) and other relevant accessories. The principle objective is to provide the user with adequate space to organise her daily usage products and to transform the cabinet into another valuable piece of furniture.
