ROMANIAN DESIGN WEEK APPEARANCES
2019 // HOME
A 1900's apartment, located in Timișoara, is transformed into a contemporary home for a young couple. Most of the work revolved around upgrading the outdated infrastructure, recovering the wooden parquet, refurbishing the original doors and windows and rethinking the apartment's functionality. The great majority of the furniture (tables, closets, lamps, accessories) is designed exclusively for this setting and a selected palette of materials and textures (plywood, metal, recycled paper, raw concrete, natural fabrics) was used to create a sense of unity, highlighted by the neutral white background of the walls. A feeling of openness and communication between spaces is induced trough the use of transparent and translucent materials. Experimenting with hands-on object design also helped the project fit within a reasonable budget. The end result is a bright, warm and open home, that stimulates creativity and freshness.
