The Transformer Shelves, a breathtaking approach to interactive furniture

The Transformer Shelves from designer Martin Sammer represent one of the best ideas when it comes to utilizing the available space in a residence at its full potential. Among multiple somewhat similar solutions, Martin Sammer's Transformers boast a very important strong card which makes them proudly stand from the crowd: they will look absolutely great no matter how you'd choose to have them installed. Their modular design takes functionality to a completely new level, adding the element of interactivity in the equation and actively involving the owner of the house in its decor.

The main idea behind the Transformer Shelves is that space must be used in the best way possible, eliminating any loss, while retaining the decorative potential of this furniture element.

 

If we were to describe Martin Sammer's Transformer in just few words, the “drawer inside a drawer” expression would most likely be the most appropriate one. Sammer's idea grew from intertwining functionality with a pleasant visual experience and above everything else, letting the individual experiment and express personal decor visions.

 

Optimize, rearrange, re-organize, these are key words when it comes to analyzing what lays beyond the white luster of the Transformers. With the concept of modular design ruling supreme, the owner of the residence receives almost unlimited possibilities to add their own touch to the way the room looks. The person inside the room is transformed too, as these shelves no longer bring passivity to the decor: a person must actively interact with this piece of smart furniture and in this process, they will actually become the very designer and re-creator of the whole atmosphere.

 

Each of the individual choices made when it comes to opening or closing certain drawers in Martin Sammer's Transformer brings the consumer closer to the producer-level since the need to act and move come in the same package with the very basic needs we all have when storage space is spoken about. Therefore, when using the Transformer Shelves, we're simply bound to let new, personal world and visions of our intimate proximity out. We must act creatively in order to carry out some of the simplest gestures, such as placing some new pairs of socks in a drawer. And that's why Sammer's creation is so spectacular. Kudos? Maybe. Praises? Definitely!
