The website describes this product: "The 21 to 115 cm modular strips with multiple intermediate widths create the design of the wardrobe. The innovative door opening system does away with the handles, blending N.O.W. into the architecture of the walls and even creating fresh chromatic moods in tone with its surrounds."They remind me Sol LeWitt's work:
Love the whole customizing trend. It makes me thing of those fabulous modular carpet tiles-Flor. I like that manufacturers and designers are working to allow for consumers to have a little more creative freedom when it comes to product design. Of course, it's all terribly controlled so you are not overwhelmed with too many choices, and they make sure all the options work well together. But it's a step in the right direction, and one that I applaud.
I'm teaching a color theory class right now, and we're talking about how color is always seen in context-what color is next to it? What color is surrounding it? How does this alter your perception of that color? This is a perfect example of how you can drastically change the impression of a color simply by changing the context in which you see it- a periwinkle blue panel is going to read very differently next to a bright cherry red than a soft taupe gray.
What colors would you put together for your dream wardrobe? Why would you chose that combination? Do you think you would ever opt for such eye-popping hues as those provided by the designer?
