Project title: Chest
Project details:
Chest is a desk conceived as a personal altar, a space to treasure moments and objects. It is a strong volume of friendly shapes that surprises us inside.
The key concept of our desk is to treasure. In Chest the user can have a place to work and also live experiences, save photos, figures, amulets, books, generate written memories and have their most valuable objects in a space that would give us containment and then transform into a kind of personal altar.
Made of MDF and Red Grandis, it is painted with satin black polyurethane paint. The top stands out from the whole because it is lined in natural foal skin, becoming the focal point once opened.
