DESIGN NAME: Augustus
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Side Board
INSPIRATION: I need to design a side board for my own showroom, dreamed about a objet which has natural, strong and elegant look, make many sketches by hand, at first slogged with the proportions but at the end I believe that found the right dimensions. As a designer I like natural textures, so thought that the chestnut wood covering is perfect choice for Augustus. The look and touch gives the natural feeling of forests.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The side board Augustus represent me the nature and simple beauty. For the body I chose chestnut wood covering because the chestnut wood has a great color and texture. We apply brushing technique on this wood so you can feel the texture better when you touch. Also use perforated metal on the doors so wanna show the harmony between wood and metal. Perforated metal gives strong look and transparency to my design. The doors are 60 cm x 60 cm and use 6cm jut for an impressive look.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The operation is simple, the Augustus side board has 3 doors, used Hettich brand hingers for a soft opening and closing.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in August 2013 in Ankara Turkey and finished in Ankara Turkey in January 2014
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design
