Moving Things Away from the Desk

Keep the desk organized often means freeing up as much surface space as possible and this can be done in more ways than one. Use the wall next to the desk or one behind it to clear the clutter. The idea we love here the most is the expansive pegboard wall with multiple storage options that looks super-cool and serves you in many different ways. The vintage desk organizer is a more understated way of doing things while the triangular DIY desk organizer adds geo charm to the setting.

  • 1110 apartment

    Measuring just 62m2, the apartment is located in a new building in Hanoi. Every unit of this building is small and is designed for young families. The original plan contains two bedrooms with compressed functions. The whole space is divided into small rooms. The renovated concept is to break the stifling sensation of closed rooms to create a new space where functions intertwine softly, flexibly and the natural light can enter the deepest corners. In the new design, a bedroom is removed to expand living space. A bathroom is converted into the washing room and storage. The balcony became a green space, connecting living space and bedroom. Finishing materials and furniture aim for simplicity, natural and rustication. Furniture are made to serve their very purposes, and not to put pressure on the space. Many old wooden parts have been reconfigured into two tables. Glass is used to show the structure of the tables and to avoid casting shadows on the wooden floor. The indigo plywood cabinet and the yellow cement wall cover the kitchen and are the highlight of the living space. With a small area, good quality of life can be achieved just by balancing the functions in a harmonious way; accepting to abandon some needs and to change our lifestyle.

  • THE TOY BOX

    – The client: I need a “toy store to store toys”
    – ji study: “We create a space that EVERYTHING IS A TOY !!”
    The project is intended for the youngest clients we have had:
    3 and 5 years. These mini-clients do not demand great needs, only places,
    spaces, colors and imaginative experiences.
    That is why we decided to make the leap of designing the furniture that we were commissioned
    to make a “mega furniture” that in itself is the toy and also
    The toy box.
    We had a very interesting volume in one of the bedrooms of
    a building built in the 40’s where we obtained the great advantage and
    opportunity to have a height of 4 meters free.
    This mega-furniture is based, in its concept, on a poplar wood fold
    that surrounds the space and creates volumes according to the places we wanted
    give them:
    – beds in line with nest beds below
    – stairs
    – yellow play tunnel with hemispheres and networks
    – benches
    – blackboards on walls and furniture
    – fun and sliding chairs
    – A desk table representing a sun
    – Lights like moons or stars
    – High and low storage
    In short, it is a space if a specific purpose, timeless
    and with the values ​​of IMAGINE, DISCOVER, INVEST, UP, DOWN,
