PROFILE & CONCEPTFrancesco & Lorenzo14 years old twins

REQUIREMENTSThe idea was to incorporate sleeping area for both of them, studying area and storage;Their parents wanted it to be a single piece for the kids bedroom and it had to be MODERN, MULTI-FUNCTIONAL, PRACTICAL & SIMETRICAL;

IT SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE:

. Elevated platform (structure)

. 2 desks for them to study

. Stairs (3 steps) with drawers

. 4 big drawers below their beds - hidden thanks to a foldable floor, that works as a chest, made of opaque acrylic

. These drawers should have embbeded strips of led lights

. 2 bedside tables that can also work as support tables while the kids are in bed

1ST IDEAS

MATERIALS

The main structure should be done in Corian® Designer White (19 mm sheet), as well as the bedside and study tables; DuPont™ Corian® solid surface can be customised to the exact look, colour, and style your residential design calls for. So shape it, rout it, or form it to bring your vibrant residential design to life. With its beauty, colour, and depth, Corian® solid surface is the ultimate design material — it gives you the opportunity to design furniture and furnishings that meet your exacting vision. The material’s natural solidity and its ability to be shaped, engraved, and combined with other materials make it ideal for innovative seating, tables, bookshelves, cabinets, and many other pieces. And since DuPont™ Corian® is durable enough for the highest-traffic environments, your designs will remain beautiful for years to come.

The bedside tables, also done in corian, will have little wheels with breaks, that should move through a rail

placed on the floor.

The colour pallete is white and two Pantone tones - 286 pole blue & 15-5519 turquoise;

These colours should appear in the fabrics (pillows, blankets) and chairs - Pantone chairs.

Both the headboards and feetboards should be done in acrylic (10mm),

with a strip LED light at the bottom.
