The key feature of Tolumi is its flexibility. This innovative piece of furniture moves with you and changes function according to your desires. When not in use, it stands as a small table, blending seamlessly into any space without overpowering it. You can move it around, using it for coffee or as a convenient surface for a book. But when it's time to do your makeup, simply unfold it into a dressing table and position it to capture the perfect light for the time of day or room layout. Add your accessories of choice and enjoy the transformation.
Tolumi is made from cherry wood and upholstered in grey fabric, although it can be customized to match any interior. The folding mechanism is similar to that of an umbrella, allowing for easy unfolding and folding. A small button ensures stability when unfolded, preventing any unexpected swinging or folding. The table is also equipped with small wheels, making it easy to move around.
With dimensions of 450mm in height and diameter, Tolumi is designed to be compact yet functional. It offers a comfortable space for applying makeup, with an adjustable angle for the table and a cushioned seat for the user.
What sets Tolumi apart is its attention to detail. Dzieciol believes that every aspect of this piece should be executed with precision to enhance its beauty. From the edge connecting the horizontal and vertical parts of the fabric to the edge surrounding the hidden leg, every element is carefully crafted to provide a visually pleasing and enjoyable experience.
The Tolumi project began in January and is still a work in progress. Dzieciol is currently researching additional functions for the design, such as integrating a table top with an opening mirror and a space for accessories. She also plans to incorporate a hidden storage compartment within the cushion, providing users with extra space to hide objects.
This innovative design has already received recognition in the form of the Bronze A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2018. This prestigious award is bestowed upon designs that exhibit outstanding creativity and resourcefulness, incorporating best practices in art, science, design, and technology. Tolumi's technical and creative skills contribute to improving the quality of life, making it a worthy recipient of this accolade.
Tolumi is not just a piece of furniture; it's a smart solution for those who value both form and function. With its ability to seamlessly transform from a coffee table to a dressing table, it offers versatility and style to any space. Embrace the beauty of Tolumi and elevate your makeup routine to new heights.
