The visually lightweight feeling of this elegant and yet strong desk takes us back to the scandinavian school of design. The awkward shape of the legs, the way they lean to the front almost like a lordly gesture of greeting, reminds us of the silouette of a noble man with his hat off greeting a lady. The desk welcomes us to use it. The shape of the drawers, like separate limbs of the desk, with their hanging sensation and a front personified look, scans the room like watchful eyes.
Claudio Sibille is a uruguayan industrial designer who graduated from IUB (Instituto Universitario Bios) in 2009, in Montevideo, Uruguay. His expertise is furniture and more specifically how it can offer viable and innovative solutions to reduced spaces. Concepts such as function, utility and versatility accompany his projects so faithful and constant. He is currently the head designer for Hong Kong based M3 company.
M3 focuses its work on the result of the real estate trends , while they may be obvious , it is not particularly exploited a niche . The homes tend to be getting smaller while still increasing the square footage value. And herein lies the dilemma of how to furnish an environment of reduced dimensions without losing the typical elements that every home needs for its quality of daily life . Why not having everything a big living room has if it’s within our reach without losing style and design, and further more, without sacrificing precious space. Well, M3 is all about multi functionality and space saving. With the help of designer Claudio Sibille, and other major designers soon to be part of our team, we are committed to provide the consumer with a new way of thinking furniture in terms of functionality and design to ensure that no matter how tiny a space is, we can still preserve the same quality of life we may have in larger apartments. Imagine a two seat sofa that can be transformed into the same piece plus two more lounge chairs for visitors, a couple of chairs popping up surprisingly out of the blue from a storing drawer cabinet, a small cabinet with drawers that can easily be transformed into a full transportable desk with a chair included within a blink of a eye, or a chair that can be transformed into a bed or in two extra banks without losing the original chair for unexpected guests . Well, this is what we do, this is our mission.
