Ancient Column Closet

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Carsicum Art Gallery Furniture

— November 25, 2008 — Art & Design
You can turn your room into a private art gallery with this closet inspired by classical architecture. Klemen Benedik and Tomaz Erzetic from Slovenia, are the designers of this elegant piece of furniture.

The structure is made of wood and skinned in canvas, on which oil paintings of columns, arches, vines and a seated woman have been done by Benedik. Illuminated glass shelves are hidden behind the large door.

The unit is 3.8m long so you would definitely need to have a large room to put it in. However, once installed it would be the highlight of the room. Imagine it in a hallway of a grand home.
Trend Themes
1. Classical Architecture Furniture - Opportunities for innovative designs that combine classical architecture with contemporary furniture styles could appeal to consumers looking for unique and elegant pieces.
2. Art-inspired Interior Design - Integrating art into furniture design, as demonstrated by the column closet, could become a trend that creates a new market segment for consumers who appreciate art in functional pieces.
3. Illuminated Furniture Design - Incorporating illuminated glass shelves into furniture designs could open up a new market segment for consumers who value both aesthetics and functionality in their furniture.
Industry Implications
1. Interior Design - Designers specializing in classical architecture and art could take advantage of the trend in classical architecture furniture and art-inspired interior design to create unique and innovative pieces.
2. Furniture Manufacturing - Furniture manufacturers could explore the use of lighting and technology in their designs to create unique and innovative pieces that appeal to consumers looking for both aesthetics and functionality.
3. Art Galleries - Art galleries could partner with furniture manufacturers and designers to produce art-inspired furniture pieces like the column closet, opening up a new market segment for art enthusiasts who also appreciate functional pieces.
