Flat.C interprets the wall-system as an open system that can be reconfigured and reassembled. Advanced and flexible, suggests a free way of occupying space, following the evolution of multimedia systems. The storage units offer an intelligent use of space through an almost infinite number of different configurations based on a modular grid that organizes the composition elements and restricts proportions. As we all have size constraints in our houses, we need furnishings that can store large amounts even in limited spaces. The system was designed to house books, a television and hi-fi accessories in the smallest amount of space possible. As the name suggests, Flat.C is a solution offering shallow depths and thickness. Measuring only 25 cm in depth, the thickness of the shelves and sides has been reduced to the minimum. Moreover, there are no visibly joined parts. All this creates a versatile furnishing project that fits discreetly into the room, while elegantly fulfilling its storage purpose.
