Something more for the wall
|
After paintings and cladding, now the wall can take display units that are art by themselves. They are aesthetic and intensely functional too, says RANJANI GOVIND

IN SEVERAL FINISHES: Collezioni folies, from Presotto Italia, are wall unit creations moulded from different high quality materials and fabrics.
A wall is no more just a concrete divider. Nor is it simply planned for getting the right demarcations in a house or an office. Walls are devised, and to a large extent, imaginatively worked out to create spaces that become focus areas. Although showcases — stuck to the wall — have been old concepts in drawing rooms, it is the contemporary ideas in shape, size and material that redefine the theory of interior décor. Now called ‘wall units,’ the
scheme is to bring in an abundance of functionality, coupled with enhancing the space with aesthetic sensibility.
Let alone showcases in wood, the modern versions are in materials that stretch beyond one’s imagination. The shapes are brought out by carpenters or imaginatively gathered with machined pieces.
But the shape is designed by professional interior decorators with an eye on ergonomics. The ingenious design twists and curvatures and the rare material combo makes each one a piece de resistance. Now, would that explain the astronomical costs involved too?
Presotto Entertainment Wall Unit
These storage solutions from Italy are pieces of furniture composed of a series of individual units standing against a wall or room. Yet design must serve beyond its functional expectations and have the capacity to evoke human emotions and passions.
This is the essence explained in the latest collection of wall units from Presotto Italia, an Italian company, that has manufactured and exported furnishing solutions for more than 50 years.
“Collezioni folies” are wall unit creations moulded from different high quality materials and fabrics where a simple object is transformed into a work of art, explains the product representative.
“The concept behind this collection is to create spaces that emphasise a spirit that has broken the conventional mould. The wall units combine the knowledge of the craftsman with the latest in modern technology, creating a final product that is contemporary, distinctly luxurious and hedonistic.” Says the representative, “The idea behind the ‘Collezioni folies’ collection was to create truly innovative living room furniture with a sophisticated look, while leaving large spaces for creativity open.”
Variety of materials
From contemporary sideboards to full TV-media wall systems, the wall units consist of shelves and drawers in plywood, honey comb panels, and compressed fibre boards for book and CD racks.
The Presotto wall units are available in several finishes — gold, silver leaf and nero frac lacquer. Nero frac is the Italian word for jet black.
“People with a taste for contemporary living and acute sense of style are our target audience and obviously people who can afford to spend for items that have been crafted from design to manufacture can go in for these,” says the representative.
This range is up-market and is priced Rs. 150,000 onwards… There is no place for solid wood here, thereby talking boldly on being environment-friendly.
Honey comb panels would mean processed wood.
The products do not cut down on green cover and are environment friendly to the extent of avoiding solid wood as far as possible, we hear.
