About Competition
New Wardrobe Doors is a new product design competition recently organised by the famouse Italian company Tomasella and released on the site Desall.com, that invites all designers and creative talents to design a new collection of doors, sliding and hinged doors, for a series of composable wardrobe systems currently featuring their catalogue.
Tomasella is looking for a new collection of doors, both sliding and hinged doors, to be destined to a series of wardrobe systems already available in their catalogue; the door, its elements (ex. handle, glass, etc.) and the resulting aesthetics of their composition will greatly characterise the wardrobe system and shall thus have a minimal style, in line with the brand, showing great attention to details.
Guidelines:
The collection you propose shall include two door typologies - sliding doors (to be presented in two length variants) and hinged doors (to be presented in three length variants), that differ in the way the user can open the wardrobe.
Your collection of doors shall have a modern style, with a special care to details and materials.
The single components shall have a very refined design and be aimed at the creation of a visual composition, resulting in the overall aesthetics of the wardrobe system, main objective of the contest.
The aesthetics of the doors shall be able to meet the taste and the requests of a heterogeneous and cosmopolitan public, while complying with the brand style and with the products available in its catalogue.
Proposals suggesting innovative functionalities that go beyond the standard functions for this product typology will be greatly welcomed, for example an innovative closing system, a special handle, etc.
Size: the doors you design shall have the following dimensions (measures are referred to the single leaf door):
- sliding door module, 255 cm high, 117,2 cm and 136,2 cm long
- hinged door module, 255 cm high, 90 cm, 98 cm and 117,2 cm long.
For a better presentation of the product, it is advisable for participants to include it in a wardrobe system – the internal depth of the wardrobe side will be 59,5 cm.
In order to ensure the industrial feasibility of your product, your design shall take into consideration mass production technologies.
The wardrobe system shall be destined to hotels and private residencies, in the night zone or walk-in closets.
