Seemingly Unbalanced Dressers

The Stilt Console's Precariousness Gives it a Playful Appeal

— January 11, 2013 — Art & Design
The designer of the Stilt Console puts forth a charming image in likening his piece to a standing bird. These creatures can appear to hold impossible postures on a single spindly leg, yet they always manage to maintain their grounding.

Similarly, Marco Guazzini's eccentric dresser rises up on three supports, different from the usual four that you'll find beneath most furnishings. While the legs look to be evenly spaced for maximum stability, the body of the object has been assembled askew.

The enchanting chest of drawers is made up of three seemingly separate parts, each containing a single storage compartment. The gorgeous grey oak pieces are different sizes so the stacked arrangement of the Stilt Console has an unavoidable and lighthearted asymmetry.
Trend Themes
1. Asymmetrical Design - The Stilt Console's quirky asymmetry offers opportunities for creative and unique designs in furniture.
2. Playful Appeal - The charm and whimsy of the Stilt Console demonstrate a trend towards furniture that adds a touch of fun and playfulness to a space.
3. Unconventional Construction - The Stilt Console's unconventional three-legged design challenges traditional furniture construction, creating opportunities for innovative and imaginative designs.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - The Stilt Console highlights opportunities for furniture designers to experiment with unconventional and asymmetrical designs.
2. Interior Design - Interior designers can utilize the Stilt Console's playful appeal to add visual interest and enhance the overall aesthetic of a space.
3. Home Decor - The Stilt Console's unique construction presents opportunities for home decor brands to offer distinctive and eye-catching pieces that stand out in the market.
