La designer suédoise Katarina Häll a conçu cette série de meubles en bois peint. Buffet, armoire, bureau et tabouret, ils proposent des espaces de rangement et des tiroirs secrets pour y glisser une photo, une lettre ou quelques objets intimes.







Sur ce projet, Katarina Häll précise:

"During Milan's Furniture Fair, Swedish designer Katarina Häll presented a set of furniture’s based on peoples needs of having secrets. Inspiration is sprung from the abandoned and forgotten houses that can be found in various places in Sweden. With their barred and bolted doors and windows, they reveal nothing about the stories and treasures that lure inside – beneath wooden floors and in dark corners.    Save includes a chest of drawers, a closet, a desk and a stool. The aesthetics is based on a meeting between a gentle treated frame and planks of pine. Besides functional handles the planks are also a secret box for those things you want to keep secret.

The big white house was always filled with riddles and secrets. One morning during summer break, before mum and dad had woken, my grandfather showed me one of his hidings. It laid under a loose board in his bedroom and contained a mixture of letters, photos, small metal jars and ornaments. Today the house is bared. Wide planks cover the windows and doors. The hide-out still awaits me inside."
