Jewelry tudio factory environment
The Digby and Iona’s jewelery makers just since a few years moved in their current workshop, but the furnishing created such a work environment, that any of us could envy.
The huge, warehouse-sized, open-plan studio beside the craft tools and work tools is the real exhibition hall of the retro and antique, recycled fixtures. There are here oddities, beauties, cases full of miracles and ephemeral objects. The crudity of the factory environment was left with the carelessly plastered walls and the worn wooden floors, from the suspended ceiling in turn, naked are hanging out the lamps wires and frames.
The space’s center are the desktops placed in front of the windows. Between the tables made in majority from wood raw material, there is a nest of drawers, small container and a metal work desk as well. The “work space” built from a lot of elements may seem raggle-taggle, but in the borning chaos the different fixtures overmuch are at their place.
The lighning is very important, from the wall extending accordion lamp, the standing studio lamps and the table retro lamps give the workshop sense and also complement the amount of light coming from the huge windows. As a seating fixture serves the rolling office chair, but the wooden seat as well, further increasing set-like the compilation of the different furniture styles
Near the work table on a metal small table there are only the most necessary kitchen accessories and the coffee, but there is no need for more. As a storage device they use postal sorting metal shelves, simple cardboard boxes, wooden box, utility chest of drawers, wooden cabinet that stores postcards, but dismantled circular shelves as well. The more diverse and more poorly is designed the harmony, the more authentic is the industrial atmosphere.
The studio’s decorative elements are extremely diverse. Through the torn, retro American flag, the sepia images, the frameless classical still life, the Far-East creations ’til the typewriter advertisment, everything can be found on the walls. One of the central elements is the school board, which serves masterfully the planning of brain stormings and timetables. The bare hangers and on the each other packed dress materials further enhance the ad-hoc, but rather the industrial atmosphere.
