NEEDS! Needs?
1 of 1
From the first impression, the 36 columns of light projected on the wall behind the furniture are striking. The front with the painting is brought into focus by an LED strip, which is milled to 6mm. On the one hand, the image shows big luxury brands and the comments on their Instagram pages, where people shout their need for the latest Gucci bag. On the other hand, it features a girl painted in "Banksy" spray technique on her way to fetch her daily water - a very different yet much more important need that contrasts with our consumerism craze. The sideboard itself offers enough space for various objects and has two interior drawers, which are especially striking because of the many details. The pink aluminum rods and a Swarovski stone provide additional contrast.
"I would give my life for this bag"
"This bag is everything"
"All you need is this"
"I neeed!!!"
Needs! Needs? is a piece of furniture that deals with the consumer behavior of people. It should question which needs are really important and which of them are just luxury or unnecessary status symbols. The sideboard is not aimed at luxury brands and fashion designers, but above all at the consumer. To become clear to oneself, what do I really need and what maybe not. Can I be happy with what I have and are my worries about the shoes ordered perhaps a little too big really worries?
The interior of the sideboard stands out with its aluminum tubes built in my typical style and the two abstract scraped drawers. The left drawer, in other words, the sad, greedy drawer is 55 x 18 cm and therefore the larger of the two. It was deliberately chosen by me a little larger and placed on the left side. The reason for this is the inscription NEEDS! which is on the edge of the drawer front. This again reflects needs which one believes to need. For this reason also the exclamation mark. Even in real life, the things you think you need are more than you really need. Which is the reason for the size of the drawer.
Inside the drawer is a canister to see from which a liquid has leaked. As already alluded to in the front, this is the canister of the girl who runs several hours every day just to get water. Unfortunately, on this day, due to the constant heavy use, a hole appeared in it and the water was thus able to escape.
The right drawer, the valuable drawer is 45cm x 12cm. On the upper edge of this drawer is the word NEEDS? to read, which by the question mark, directly asks the question, what are my "Needs"? The answer to this question, if you answer honestly, is usually smaller than you think. Which is also the reason for the size of the drawer. However, what is the case with these "Needs" is that they are usually much more important and valuable.
The drawer itself features its own version of the Hello Kitty figure. If you look closely, you can see that the water-bearing girl on the furniture front wears the same hair bow. However, her's is anything but first-hand.
