Burg Giebichenstein graduates Stephan Schulz and Paul Evermann are presenting a joint show at this years Salone Satellite with each presenting one and a half new products.
That's one new product each. And a joint creation.
The joint project is called wardrobe bench - and does pretty much what it says on the tin.
Its a clothes hanger. And a seat
The bench element is made from one piece of plywood, cut by water jet and then the outer element is set a little lower.
Through this displacement, tasks such as putting on your shoes become that little bit more comfortable. It can also be used for storing shoes. Which obviously makes hoovering that tick easier.
The spacious steel hanger not only provides hanging space - but also nicely compliments that base and gives the whole construction a more complete countenance.
What we particularly liked about wardrobe bench is that we never noticed that it was cut from one piece of plywood.
We suspect the reason we never noticed is that because it is cut form one piece it all looks so natural your brain doesn't check that its two pieces of wood. The shape of the legs and the distance between the feet are pre-defined and so cognitively the two pieces flow into one piece which gives it this deceptive unity.
Which we liked. A lot.
And for the sake of completeness the two individual items are recycling foam sofa system by Stephan Schulz.
And black light by Paul Evermann.
Stephan Schulz and Paul Evermann @ Salone Satellite can be viewed until April the 17th.
