Furniture and cardboard

Anyone who thinks that the ' designer furniture , is only possible with the use of special metal alloys or   plastic polymers certainly falls into error.

Recently in the world of design you are doing a great use of cardboard not only with regard to packaging and packaging: even the ' furniture  can arise from processing in paper industry , with chairs, tables, armchairs,  lamps,  resistant to any solicitation.

 A large collection of furniture and lamps in cardboard

The series came to the attention of lovers of ' sustainability to propose new interpretations of design and design: the complement is subjected to a diagram that highlights the focal points and then comes together, a process that closely resembles the origami .
 
The particular closure systems  allow objects to occupy the smallest possible space , but when opened, allow them to extend for ascribed to the standard dimensions of the objects. A casing in cardboard hides such a comfortable bed ; what may seem a slab of cardboard folded is actually a functional table .
 
The line consists of the following products: Pop Up Superallun go (corrugated cardboard folding table with maximum extensibility), Pop Up Console (console folding), Pop Up Screen Partition (partition folding), Pop Up Bed (folding bed) and Pop Up Chair (folding chair), all characterized by structure in natural cardboard or rigid shockproof and waterproof, available in red, black, white, green, yellow or blue.



On the occasion of the Fair Mobile 2013 cube Design also submitted new proposals for lighting design strictly made ​​of cardboard : new ideas related to issues of environmental sustainability illuminate every space of the house , with suspensions, floor lamps and table lamps that draw for the their shape, inspirations from different contexts. Made of cardboard, these lights become bright objects versatile, functional,  easily inserted in the various areas of the house and not just adding a touch of style to any room. 

Among the various lamps available, the most unusual is Ted , a table lamp in three-dimensional cardboard. The top screen is polypropylene and the structure is covered with anti-shock rigid material customizable, available in red, black, white, green, yellow or blue. It lends itself to be customized in many ways thanks to six different texture printed on waterproof membrane or to the many emoticons available for the lampshade. 

New line of furniture and lighting made of corrugated cardboard


Research, design, functionality, sustainability and ability to bind with other materials, inspired by the collection of objects and furniture in corrugated cardboard B-Trade .
 
The project was born from  cardboard , that B-Trade presents a contemporary , offering objects and furnishings particularly  original and creative research, design and technology for a basic design , logic associated with functional and aesthetic. The first collection of B-Trade, designed in collaboration with the design studio Sedicilab includes different items ranging from lamps, small tables , up to sessions .
 
Among the furniture more representative of the new line should be noted: First ( series of tables clean design in two heights, made ​​of cardboard blades assembled on two central crowns), Sybil ( chairs erecting tongued, elements and become the protagonists of a compact and light), White ( sitting thoughtful and composed, from the simple and basic design), Ragtime ( plywood seat of cardboard with soft lines and wraparound), Pula (family of furnishings , characterized by soft wrap) and finally Halo , one of the first products resulting from the technical study B-Trade ( table multilayer cardboard that combines the texture of cardboard to the transparency of the glass shelf ).

We also have the  collection of lamps  made ​​of corrugated cardboard, which focuses attention on chiaroscuro , material combinations and textures backlit, all via a simple design in which the research experiment is combined with the craftsmanship.
 
These include  Flo  (table lamp or wall with simple lines that plays with the light, the colors in which it is available and with the various positions that may be), Genia  (the reinterpretation of the experimental classic lamp, plywood cardboard combined with wood and ceramics) and finally hanging lamps  Deda, and Baco Cloud  (where the cardboard sheets are combined in textures, waves and Canett for games of light and shade and shadows).

Furniture in order to keep the kitchen



In the kitchen, the first factor to consider in choosing the furniture is the storage capacity of wall and base units . They must be able to contain all the amount of pots and pans that you have available. 
You can give up some furniture in more, just in case you have other containers in the living room, such as cupboards and sideboards , where services have that are used less frequently. The most current fashion involves the replacement of a part of the wall cabinets with shelves or furniture per day : in this case, since everything will be in view, it is necessary that the objects are neatly arranged and clean . many kitchens, also provide for the presence of special compartments forstorage of separated waste , to make it easier to collect household. Important is, of course, also the preservation of food products. Also in this case the furniture in production help, providing many models in the presence of a column pantry to store pasta, biscuits, canned and in such a way as to be easily picked up. Even appliances help to make order: placing kitchenware rinsed in the dishwasher , although it will expect to have the full load before the wash, allows not to keep them in view.

Furniture in order to keep the bathroom


In the bathroom it is necessary to have a piece of furniture to store products for the care and personal hygiene. Those most frequently used items such as soap, toothpaste, deodorant and shower gel, may also be left exposed, resting on the shelf of the sink or on shelves, while creams, cosmetics, and accessories for the beard, may be stored in a cabinet . the bottom of the mobile sink, can be kept the spare towels ready for use. Since not all the houses you're lucky enough to have a laundry room, the bathroom has a function often promiscuous. The presence of the washing machine and of a possible wash, however, not at the expense of aesthetics'', because the current production provides mobile laundry that, besides being very functional, they are also beautiful to see and be perfectly integrated in a bathroom aesthetic cared. From the point In practical terms it is important that there are a large basket for dirty laundry closed , and one or more compartments to put your detergent. For those who have a chance to dry the laundry in the natural, it is important to place one in the bathroom drying rack .In this regard are found in commerce extensible models that allow to draw many heads and that, once resealed, occupy little space. were also produced of the towel folding that can be used also as allowing drying racks to dry in a short time towels and bathrobes.

Furniture in order to keep the bedroom


In the bedroom the presence of a little man or valet stand will be crucial to keep the clothes folded without creasing, even when you need more changes throughout the day. carefully to preserve the clothing, it will be well in the choice of ' cabinet , watch carefully not only the style and appearance of the doors, the material of the structure or the possible presence of mirrors, but also the number of internal accessories. Indeed, besides the hanging bars, there are specific accessories for storing, for example, trousers and shirts and even ties. Other accessories can be purchased separately, such as boxes for bags and hats. To keep knitting, of course, must be present in a chest of drawers . instead If you have a walk-in closet , in the choice of the interior, you will have wide range of accessories such as described. A shoe rack, given the number of pairs that especially we women love to keep, will be needed. There are of reduced thickness which can also be hidden behind a door. Sufficient space must be dedicated to the preservation of sheets, blankets and comforters. Today, a popular choice is that of the bed with storage below, designed just for storing linens. In the absence of this, there must be sufficient space dedicated in the closet or in the cabin.


The traditional and the modern kitchen

It 's time to change the furniture in the kitchen , the eternal question is always the same: choose a classic or a modern model?Not always, in fact, helps in the choice, consider your surroundings and furnishings that already exist. If during the new plant, for renovation or, better yet, new construction of their home, the choice might be easier in the case of simply replacing only the furnishings of the kitchen where things get complicated. On the one hand, in fact, there is a desire to change the appearance to renew on a visual level, not only of technical performance, the old plant, the other does not know whether to change with contrast or maintaining some continuity with past choices. Consequently, also depending on the personal character, you opt for a real turn at 180 ° by choosing a different style, or you take refuge in a style that, even after many years, is confirmed to be one that reflects our tastes and our personality. Anyway, my advice is always to avoid head shots dictated by momentary desires of radical change or false love affairs of compositions views of industry publications, but then that does not reflect the actual evolution of personal taste. Much better, when in doubt, small changes that are normal changes in the same style, but sometimes it still effective to renovate a room.




The traditional and the modern take


If you love classic style in general, but you afraid to put the furniture in the kitchen such as those of the classic kitchen in wood, lines important, too heavy, you have just removed, then you should go to the new classic revisited. thus recoup its warm and welcoming, definitely reassuring that perhaps only the classic style can give, but you will add a modern touch and refined style that makes its own trend lines of the past with a modern twist. Turtleneck , of stosa kitchens, is, in fact, a new way of doing classic cuisine , the result of design research and attention to detail. Above all, it also solves the problem of living in the event of open space . L ' wing of Turtleneck, very refined, has the frame to notch and the ridge at the center, can be realized in finishing lacquer or pickled , strip decorative gold wire or silver wire . The final effect is elegant and luxurious, enhanced by the use of real wood ash . If design and finishes of the doors are classic mold, the concept of composition is typically modern: the low profile modules are both container and as a support, along with midi columns , the open shelves and baskets . The decorations are fine, the details are functional: note the capitals side that contain useful storage compartments concealed. Turtleneck is a kitchen with a touch British style , as you can see by the design the glass wall cabinets, as well as a touch of glamour is given by the entries of real Khabarovsk in handles and knobs.
