How does it work? The technical challenge for us lay in bringing the multiple elements together into a single form that was simultaneously light,robust and yet easily taken apart. We arrived at a system of octagonal uprights, jointed with through tenons into a ‘wing’ that snuggly slotted into a central base, held fast by dowels and hidden bolts. The uprights are designed to be interchangeable - a modular system that means parts can be replaced, and the valets can be updated over time. A constantly evolving piece of furniture. . #birchmoments #hotelinterior #pattern #texture #interiordecor #furnituredesign #cabinetmaker #janhendzelstudio #reddeer #hotel #interior #sustainable #thinking #modularfurniture #joinery #detailing @birchcommunity @reddeer @charlottekidger @emmalouisepayne @lucie.naujalis image @fergus_coyle

What does it do? The bedroom valets act as temporary storage. Equipped with a variety of accessories for all manner of eventualities. Sustainable material designer @charlottekidger sediment cast recycled plastics to form the central orbs. Ceramicist @emmalouisepayne created the glazed and textured vases. Metalsmith @lucie.naujalis produces the hand beaten copper bowls. And where possible we expressed the natural variants in the wood, celebrating character over uniformity. . . #birchmoments #hotelinterior #pattern #texture #interiordecor #furnituredesign #cabinetmaker #janhendzelstudio #reddeer #hotel #interior #sustainable #timber @birchcommunity @reddeer image @fergus_coyle

Jan Hendzel studio was invited by Red deer architects to head the design and making of a suite of furniture as part of a mega collaboration for Birch hotel’s launch. It was clear from the start that this was no ordinary commission. Red deer were keen to challenge the idea that uniformity was essential for large batch runs of furniture. They also wanted to have fun. We feel they came to the right people! Shown is one of @birchcommunity capsule valets. Shot within the contained space of a room, the various patterns creates an intense sensory experience. 👀 . . #birchmoments #janhendzelstudio #hotelinterior #furniture #reddeer #interiordesign #patterndesign #surfacedesign #cabinetmaker #designer #valet #hoteldecor #sustainabledesign big love to all the #collaborateurs @reddeer @charlottekidger @lucie.naujalis @emmalouisepayne more to follow. #image @fergus_coyle
