Disproportionate design objects
20.9.2019
Translation: machine translated
Boyfriend jeans, chunky trainers and dad shoes are to fashion what disproportionate design is to interior design.
And at the moment, I have the impression that the more the merrier. Today's objects give pride of place to generous, disproportionate shapes, judging by the striking silhouette of lampshades with oversized bases or plant pots with mini side handles, for example. Gone are the days when you worried that you didn't have the right tools to chase away any burglars who might think of venturing too close to your home. With those generous curves, muggers had better watch out ;)
The best is a friend of the good
On a table, massive accessories take up a lot of space, but draw the eye. Placed on the floor, they catch your eye, and their generous dimensions prevent you from getting your feet caught in them. Another advantage? They conceal storage space.
In contrast to their minimalist counterparts - which shine more on aesthetics than comfort - voluminous furniture - especially armchairs that invite lounging - will enhance your interior.
Oversized lamps don't just serve their primary function of providing light, they also breathe character into your home. The larger they are, the more they inhabit the space they occupy, like sculptures that would be admired from either side and stand on their own.
