Metamorphic Wardrobe
London, 2017
Metamorphic Wardrobe
A room divider and storage solution
On returning to London from Stockholm, Nina Tolstrup and Jack Mama saw an opportunity to re-think their live/work space. They created a flexible screen that contains storage and can be opened to create more space or closed to divide the space.
A light and flexible structure
The metamorphic wardrobe is a space-saving solution that can be opened in different formations – closed, half, or fully open.
‘Instead of building walls and dividing the space up permanently – we found that this solution with a flexible and non-permanent screen to divide the space into two when needed – allowed us to use our space optimally’, says Jack Mama, a partner in Studiomama.
Studiomama is also exploring adaptations for office spaces where these flexible screens can function as mobile workstations and storage units.
The wardrobe is made with a simple and light structure that can be taken apart, and the wardrobe drawers can be added or removed for flexibility. The structural frame is made of maple wood, and the adaptive screens are made of Cedarwood.
