8 Local Design And Architecture Practices Create Storage Solutions With Montana Furniture

The Commune by Archetype Studio: With its multitude of configurations, the design encourages various forms and conversations of The Commune. It highlights the meeting of commuters, and engages itself as a pathway – a fulcrum that The Commune is, to congregate, to encourage dialogue in the workplace and F&B outlets. The clean wavy lines of the underpass complement the Commune’s rigid yet sleek silhouette.

The Transformer by ASOLIDPLAN: The Transformer conveys the endearing notion of growing up; a recollection of stories. The piece is designed to transform from a diaper-changing station to a child’s desk, then a full-height desk and finally, either a standing dresser or a mini bar throughout one’s life.

Imaginarium by The Carpenter’s Workshop: Designed for children two to six years of age, Imaginarium is a stage dedicated to imaginative play where children can create, imagine and express themselves. Within the compartments of Imaginarium, topics and subjects can be curated for the child by placing relevant materials into open shelves. Having a wheelbase ensures portability, allowing Imaginarium to be part of different settings.

Dicot by The Monocot Studio: Dicot means multiples of two. Conceptualised based on a flower, Dicot’s ideology and fluid design generates a balanced composition while seemingly allowing the design to float in space.

Interlock by Provolk: Paying homage to the Pearl Bank Apartments, Interlock is designed with two “L” modules that interlock and overlap creating a multi-directional piece that could either be a side table or a drawer module. Interlock’s pastel hues were carefully selected from Montana’s range of 42 options to match the colours of the architectural icon yet giving clarity and order to the design. The image reiterates Singapore as a Garden City, localising the context of the project.

Flow:Flyde 126 by SM(ALL): Flow:Flyde 126 manipulates Montana’s most basic unit (126mm x 126mm) to effect a topographical outcome, breaking the perception of modular rigidity. The design is versatile, used as a wine, shoe, magazine rack or even as a standalone art piece.

Vice by UPSTAIRS_: Vice is a modern re-interpretation of the Gossip Bench, a nostalgic piece of furniture that incorporates storage, table and seating. Designed as a part of four re-configurable pieces, Vice is tastefully designed for the one who indulges, and comprises of a series of drawers, trays and compartments that function as a full-fledged mobile bar.

Totem by WYNK Collaborative: Totem is conceived as an occasional cabinet to create daily rituals. It can be used as an organiser, a stand-up vanity cabinet, or even a reading shelf. The functional possibilities are endless, as users are encouraged to interpret how Totem fits into their lives.
