Isobel by Brendan: A Contemporary Dressing Table

Minimalism meets High Tech Sophistication

My wife, Isabelle, wanted a dressing table. We searched everywhere for one, but couldn't find anything suitable, so I decided to design and build one for her.

The Isobel dressing table, designed by Brendan Wong, is a contemporary masterpiece that combines minimalism with high tech sophistication. This innovative piece of furniture is not only functional but also a work of art, making it the perfect addition to any modern lifestyle.

What sets the Isobel dressing table apart from others is its unique design and use of materials. The drawer fronts are made of timber veneer and polished to a glass-like finish, giving them a sleek and elegant look. The absence of knobs adds to the clean aesthetic of the table.

But what truly makes the Isobel dressing table stand out is its high tech features. Proximity sensors are hidden within all the drawer fronts and the tabletop lid. These sensors detect the operator's hand approaching and trigger a mechanism to open the intended drawer or lid. LED lights are also incorporated into the drawers, automatically turning on when opened.

Lighting is essential for the makeup process, and the Isobel dressing table takes this into consideration. It features a light square ring around the mirror with color-corrected LED strips, providing a shadowless glow for the face. The brightness of the lights is adjustable, catering to different occasions and preferences.

The Isobel dressing table is not only beautiful but also practical. It is designed with functionality in mind, with two base units and a tabletop portion held together by stainless steel stand-offs. Four discreet caster wheels are also enclosed on the bottom of the base units, allowing for easy relocation.

The hinges holding the heavy lid provide a soft closing action, ensuring a safe return to the closing position. Safety and convenience are paramount in the design of the Isobel dressing table.

The Isobel dressing table is a testament to Brendan Wong's design prowess. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of innovative materials make this piece a true work of art. It is not surprising that the Isobel dressing table was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2013, recognizing its outstanding creativity and resourcefulness.

With its contemporary design, high tech features, and impeccable craftsmanship, the Isobel dressing table is a must-have for anyone seeking a blend of style and functionality in their living space.
