I think it’s time for a craft project.
I think it’s time for many craft projects.
Craft project #1
I think this piece is a nice jumping off point.. But if I were to build it I’d make it a tad more refined. I’m sure the end result is what the designer was after, but, it’s just a little too… random for me.
What would I change? I’m glad you asked.
1. The shelf would not be on a gurney (base) attached to an IV (electrical cord) apparently making its way to a hospital. I would have to think about what kind of base my design would have, but it for sure wouldn’t be this.
2. the drawers would instead be doors. Doors on pivots that can open and then slide back into the shelf. This way, letting the light shine though wouldn’t also be an obstruction and potential hazard. I imagine this method would also cost significantly less, considering the fact that I highly doubt that clear drawer material is inexpensive. Then again, a rotating / gliding hinge might not be the least expensive piece of hardware either.
3. There would be a much better solution to that cord. No one likes looking at electrical cords. Seriously.
Craft project #2
These, as opposed to my first light up furniture example, are a lot nicer.
If I were to build them myself I think I would make them look a little more sturdy. I’m a little skeptical of how flimsy their legs look.. But I think they might be made out of metal, which would resolve that issue. Either way, they still look a little disproportional.
I love the stacking feature of these shelves/tables. I love the light element of them. They shed a wonderful glow. I also love that there is a solution to most of the power cords. They run through the legs and onto the floor. Muuuuch better. Much cleaner.
