Nataliia Pleshkova ("NP") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Roentgen Nightstand . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
NP : The inspiration came from the works of David Roentgen, German cabinetmaker whose design innovation in the creation of ingenious pieces of mechanical furniture with secret drawers and compartments operated by hidden springs and levers made him renowned throughout the ruling houses of 18th century Europe.
NP : The main focus in designing this work has been reinterpretation of historical reference in terms of current trends, needs, materials, and modern technologies.
NP : This particular concept has been designed to pursuit an inspiration.
NP : I am planning to sell production rights for Roentgen nightstand.
NP : The design is simple and can be performed in a wide range of color and material combinations to fit smoothly in any modern interior environment and equipped with the functionality that a contemporary user needs - wireless charger and drawer charging ports. It is available in both a right and a left configuration.
NP : Roentgen nightstand involves the owner in the process of unlatching and expanding it outward into the room to access a set of hidden drawers, which offer additional useful storage space and protection for personal belongings.
NP : The model was built in SketchUp, rendering was made in SU Podium.
NP : The project is a result of research on works of 18th century cabinetmakers adapted in terms of current trends and needs in the field of furniture production, technologies, and design.
NP : The challenge was to integrate the idea of having a secret set of drawers in the modern nightstand, but at the same time not to create a massive piece of furniture as it was in the 18th century, and to make a construction stable when it expands outward.
