Design and Functionality

The wardrobe’s design maximizes every centimeter of available space, featuring a smart layout that combines ample hanging areas, deep storage compartments, and a practical worktop surface under the window. The carefully planned internal configuration includes six soft-close drawers and adjustable shelving, providing versatile storage options tailored to the client’s needs. The additional worktop surface serves as an ideal spot for folding clothes, displaying items, or even working, enhancing the room’s usability.

Materials and Finish

We selected high-quality birch plywood for its excellent strength, stability, and natural aesthetic appeal. This material is known for its consistent grain, which adds warmth and character to the space. The wardrobe’s panels were crafted with an emphasis on matching the grain patterns, achieving a continuous flow that enhances the overall design. The satin water-based lacquer finish not only amplifies the wood’s natural appearance but also provides a protective barrier against daily wear, moisture, and stains, ensuring the wardrobe remains in excellent condition for years.

Hardware and Quality Assurance

To ensure long-term reliability, the wardrobe is fitted with top-of-the-line BLUM push-to-open hinges and drawer runners. These components are celebrated for their smooth, effortless operation and robust construction. With a 25-year warranty, these fixtures guarantee durability and consistent performance, providing the client with confidence in the wardrobe’s quality and functionality.

Challenges and Solutions

The project required precise craftsmanship to align the large panels and maintain consistent grain patterns across the entire surface, which was critical to achieving the seamless, modern look the client desired. Additionally, maximizing the functionality of the available space presented a challenge that was overcome through careful planning and creative use of the internal configuration. We focused on optimizing the layout with strategically placed shelves, ample hanging areas, and well-designed drawers, ensuring that every part of the wardrobe was both accessible and practical.

Environmental Considerations

Sustainability was also a key focus in this project. The use of water-based lacquers, which are low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), aligns with our commitment to environmentally responsible practices. Additionally, birch plywood is known for its sustainability due to its efficient use of wood resources, making this project not only a stylish addition to the home but also a more eco-friendly choice.
