While many people interested in interior design and interior design know that sometimes a single detail can determine the character of an interior or piece of furniture, we decided to experiment and share the results on our blog. To this end, we prepared a two-hour event for a design-related event in Warsaw. The first stage was the purchase of a chest of drawers.
Which chest of drawers is the best backdrop for playing with handles?
The decision was simple: we chose one of the most popular IKEA chests of drawers. Besides its popularity, the choice was also dictated by its size – it was meant to fit into our station wagon 🙂 The chest of drawers was white – so it wouldn't clash with the various shades of wood and the colors of our enameled, glass, and industrial knobs and handles. In addition to the chest of drawers, we also prepared a trunk full of various props and, of course, many sets of furniture knobs and handles. We also had sketches of the layout, although, as it turned out, they weren't really necessary.
New handle = new furniture
What we managed to achieve in these two hours is best illustrated in the photos. We tried to include both lighthearted and serious arrangements. Take a look at the result. More to come soon… some of our observations.
So we have a few cute dressers, like this one with pink glass knobs and toiletries on the counter (including a pump-dispenser perfume bottle). A few with wooden handles in various styles. We used industrial handles in various colors, as well as enameled ones.
Do all the handles fit the dresser?
Of course not. Some are too big, some too small. This chest of drawers measures a mere 90 cm by 83 cm. The large Pebbles look funny on it. And yet, we know the furniture functions in the interior. And perhaps in another space, where it would be a continuation of a specific concept, it could be taken quite seriously.
All of this took place as part of the WAWA Design Festival, to which we were invited by the website Mieszkaniezpomyslem.pl. The space where we prepared these several-minute arrangements was a hall with a concrete floor and a "tent" roof. The lighting in the hall was therefore diffused, which facilitated photographic documentation and did not require additional lighting.
