Is it possible to place it on an area of 6 square meters?meters bed, work place, TV, bookshelves, wardrobe, closet, storage room and minibar? You will be surprised, but it is quite possible! Let's see how this is even possible Sometimes it happens that you really want to buy something useful, but you can't find it anywhere. And this happens not because the search engine works poorly, but simply because no one has made it yet. In such a situation, most people think: "It would be cool to make it! But I'd better go eat ice cream." However, there are daredevils who do not stop at just an idea and bring it to the end, materializing their plans. And when the result pleases not only you and your mother, but also other people - this is a victory! We will now tell you one of such success stories. Til Könnecker, designer Born in 1980 in a creative family of a writer and artist. This passionate collector of beautiful useless things loves to experiment with different materials, and always approaches his work in a playful manner and with a willingness to take risks. Till currently works in Bern. illdesigns.ch When the young and ambitious designer Till Konneker moved into a new apartment in Bern, he needed storage space. But buying a wardrobe was too boring and also impractical, because he would need additional shelves for his collection of favorite vinyl records, a TV stand and a soft corner for reading. Having estimated how much space all this would take up and how it would affect the budget, the designer decided to take an unconventional approach to this problem and combined all his storage needs in one single item, and this became The Living Cube.
Till Könnecker developed it himselfsketches of the cabinet, and the masters Remo Zimerelli and Darren Green brought them to life. The main material for Cube was chosen to be stained wood, unique in its properties and appearance, which made the furniture even more original and attractive.
The designer installed shelves in his package.for vinyl records, compartments for outerwear and shoes, and a section for a TV. On top of the cube there is a soft bed, to which an elegant black staircase leads, and inside the closet there is a storage room for a variety of things. This is how a real room in a room turned out. After Til came up with such a convenient thing for himself, it very quickly gained popularity on the Internet, and he simply could not help but make it available to everyone. If after looking at the photos you immediately caught fire with the idea of buying such a multifunctional and universal piece of furniture - go to the site livingcube.furniture and assemble your own closet.
I wanted to focus on practicality andfunctionality, and to omit unnecessary elements. My goal is to come up with a timeless design that will work in different spaces and in any life situation.
Till Koenneker
In your own version of Cube you canyou can arrange anything you want on any of the four sides, or even on all of them at once, if you want. These can be shelves for books, cabinets for shoes and accessories, a minibar, and much more. There are also several options for stairs and doors. And inside the closet you can arrange not only a pantry or dressing room, but also a wine cellar, an additional bathroom, or even a study where no one will interfere.
The dimensions of the main block are 4 meters in width,1.6 meters deep and 2 meters high. As for the prices for The Living Cube, they start at $3,000, and taking into account additional elements and shipping costs, it will be even more expensive. The cabinet is currently manufactured only in Switzerland and North Carolina, but the geography of production may significantly expand in the future.
After several months of competition, the projectLiving Cube Furniture managed to win the popular architectural competition Architizer A+ Award in the category “Lifestyle Products” in 2014. And given the designer’s insatiable desire to improve and create useful things, this is most likely only the first of the awards in the life of Til Könnecker. illdesigns.ch, Rob Lewis
