Revealed: The hidden messages in Comité de Proyectos' wardrobe collection
Design is increasingly becoming a medium for emotions, as the wardrobe collection from Mexican studio Comité de Proyectos impressively demonstrates. This collection goes beyond mere functionality by combining contrasting styles and addressing the topic of "caring and being cared for".
More than just storage space: a masterpiece of craftsmanship
The "Carmen" model stands out in particular: made from Huanacaxtle wood, which is native to Central and South America, the cabinet is characterised by its unique front texture, which is created by precise hammer blows. Each corner of the sideboard is assembled from hand-carved pieces, emphasising the studio's precision craftsmanship.
Another highlight are the wooden legs, which are wrapped in Henequen fibres and shaped using steam, just like the "Ramón" cabinet. Henequen fibres come from the agave plant, which is mainly grown on the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico. Here they visualise a feeling of warmth.
Empowerment through design: an ode to care and protection
If you would like to see the "Carmen" cabinet live and discover the interior, you can still view it until the end of February at the Basalto Collective gallery in Zurich.
Like a cheerleader, I love celebrating good design and bringing you closer to everything furniture- and interior design- related. I regularly curate simple yet sophisticated interior ideas, report on trends and interview creative minds about their work.
