Materials: 3x Faktum, 2 Applad doors and oak
Description: This corridor piece of furniture is the result of a 2-step thinking :
- functional for the inside : using Faktum elements for kitchen
- external shape : Applad doors and oak corpus
First, the depth of Faktum elements has been reduced, as well as the height of the Applad doors
Then, the smallest Faktum has been hand-painted in dark grey (not so easy, but nice result finally)
To finish, the corpus has been made with pieces of oak and varnished.

How do you open those doors? Must be hard to grip with that outer "frame" protruding so much? Or did you use one of those push-to-open magnet thingies (I think they are available for the Besta series)?
ReplyDeleteActually there is a mistake in the description : it's not Applad doors, but Arsta. And these Arsta doors have a built-in handgrip, as you can see on the picture number 2.
DeleteAnd it's very easy to open the doors : more than 3cm space with the "outer frame".
Love the blue shade :) this looks like a very useful piece of furniture!
ReplyDeleteHi Esteban, I see you're from Strasbourg. Where did you get you're Oak from? I need some for a future project that also includes some Ikea parts.
ReplyDeleteThe Oak comes from the german shop Bauhaus
DeleteOK thanks, I know this place, already been there.
DeleteErm.. The 'blue shade' is just standard issue IKEA peel-off protection for lacquered surfaces
ReplyDeleteThis is usually called a "fauxdenza" It was called that by Anna Dorfman.
ReplyDeleteEt on peut acheter une version déjà toute faite à Esteban?
