STORYTELLING IN DESIGN

'En-case' is a modular storage system engraved with a personalised artwork or pattern to create an offering halfway between mid-market identically produced furniture and high-cost commission-based furniture. The flat-pack assembly modules, with no visible fixings, means the general production costs are low, whilst providing a quality refined finish. The modularity allows the design to be adaptable to changing needs or spaces of the owner/s over time. Uniqueness is offered through various material finishes and surface personalisation. In this version, I worked closely with the client so almost each module features a texture derived from their favourite family memories to encourage remembrance and reciting these stories over the generations. New modules with reference to new stories can be added to make this relevant and meaningful for future generations.  As there are no visible fixings, any side can be the 'face' thus maximising its adaptability.
