Galvanized Metal Wardrobe

This large, one meter deep wardrobe was custom-made as a distinctive element of a private apartment. The view from the living room shows that it is equipped with a door made of galvanized metal sheets. The oil stain effect from the galvanization changes during the day and with the amount of light in the room.

"It might seem that after some time one would get easily tired of this pompous feature and that it would eventually have a rather distracting effect. But the opposite proved to be true. The sight of the tin wall is very soothing. The color palette matches the wooden floor, and the reflectivity of the sheets illuminates the otherwise dark corner of the apartment." The roughness of the metal surface of the sheet as well as the inaccuracies and scratches from production in the factory bring a pleasant industrial accent to the interior.

Viewed from the kitchen, the corner of the wardrobe is clad with a tinted mirror. "Thus, it partially fulfills the function of a classic mirror at the entrance to the apartment. We chose a dark-colored mirror, not a clear one. It is part of the body of the wardrobe and the color fits well with the galvanized metal sheets. A clear mirror would be distracting." authors say.
