Sylvain Aebischer Roommate

At Design Parade 8, the young Swiss designer presents a project that focus on the way a wardrobe is built and aims like minimizing the inside and outside components.

Roommate is a small wardrobe without metal fittings, designed by Sylvain Aebischer, built with four wooden planks and a Hylite® sheet. This rigid composite material may become flexible where needed and works both as bearing element, hinges and doors. The five elements fit together and each one is essential for the good working of the assembly.
