The post Collaborations: Contemporary Loft Apartment appeared first on Think Fabricate.

Hello! My name is Gabe Gordon, and I work as an intern for Doban Architecture / Think Fabricate. I live in a small, boring, and intensely art-deprived town in Connecticut. Thus, whenever I visit New York I am always intrigued by the modern, innovative furniture designs filling the city’s stores, restaurants, and apartments.

During the first few weeks of working for the company, I never had time to check out Think Fabricate’s furniture. However, walking around the streets of New York, I started noticing their artful designs in different buildings.

For instance, while eating at SOY Asian Kitchen in Queens, I noticed these really interesting box-like lanterns created by Think Fabricate:

Think Fabricate’s simple and contemporary designs are prevalent throughout New York City; a few weeks ago I went to BKLYN DESIGNS and stumbled upon more of their modern furniture. They had a display of their stylish and innovative Wall*nut Hexagon shelving. Personally, these are one of my favorite Think Fabricate designs. They’re so cool!:

Here are more of the Hexagons from ICFF at the Javits Center:

Think Fabricate also featured many of their sleek bathroom cabinetry and vanities at ICFF. On the left is the Wall*nut Medicine Cabinet XL and the River Rock Vanity. On the right is the Wall*nut Medicine Cabinet MC Squared and the A-Loft Bath Credenza in bleached oak:

Think Fabricate’s bathroom cabinetry and vanities are the perfect way to turn a drab, boring bathroom into a modern and elegant space. Who knew a bathroom could be elegant? PLUS, All the furniture is made-to-order. They offer custom configurations, materials, and finishes. This customization allows you to personalize your own furniture, while still maintaining Think Fabricate’s artful designs.

I also stumbled upon their beautiful designs in Blue Sky Bakery in Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn:

Seeing their furniture in the streets of New York City has opened my eyes to the new and unique ways in which modern designers fabricate products.

Think Fabricate brings an appreciation of materials as well as an aesthetic appeal to their furniture, ultimately illuminating their skilled craftsmanship and successful designs.

The post WHAT WE LOVED IN 2016 appeared first on Think Fabricate.

Join us at BKLYN DESIGNS as we co-host the THINK+ [TABLE] conversation series with our affiliated architecture studio, DOBAN ARCHITECTURE! Each day of the show, we will welcome invited industry professionals and special guests to lead the dialogue. All will be welcome to take a seat at the Dialogue Table and Benches – designed specifically by us with this initiative in mind – and participate. BKLYN DESIGNS takes place May 6 – 8 at the Brooklyn Expo Center in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. See below for more details!

The New International Style: Brooklyn

What does ‘Brooklyn Style’ mean to its inhabitants? What is it in the eyes of the world? The ‘Brooklyn’ style has been embraced and, to some extent, exploited (both globally and locally) in order to entice the general populous to buy into its brand, influencing people the world over with its unique allure and sense of ‘cool’. But what is ‘Brooklyn Style’? With its rich history and diverse neighborhoods, a vast spectrum of structures and their inhabitants exist within its 69,5 sq. mi (180 sq. km), making Brooklyn not only the largest borough of NYC, but also one that is currently seeing the most rapid growth (in both population and new construction). To what extent is the true character of Brooklyn preserved under such strained conditions? What is Brooklyn’s ‘true character’? And with its global influence, has it become the new ‘International Style’?

Transforming Concepts of Luxury and Living Space

In Brooklyn, a wider range of living space typologies are more abundant than ever before. In the past, luxury was equated with brownstones or larger sprawling Victorian homes. Now, a range of new apartment possibilities, many with waterfront views of the Manhattan skyline, are available, bringing new perspectives on luxurious spaces to Brooklyn. Is an efficiently designed lifestyle somehow on at least an intellectual par with sprawling luxury? Is efficient use of space the only resort for those of more limited means and wanting to live in Brooklyn, or can it be made more satisfying? The scale of living has varied greatly over the past century; advances in technology have influenced the perceived and physical standards of inhabited spaces – from the home to the office to places of leisure. Micro living is not a new concept, rather one that has been embraced again in order to deal with (yet another) great influx of populations into urban environments due to economic and social opportunities. How do we define luxury in 2016 in Brooklyn?

Meaningful Objects

How much do we take stock of the objects/things in our lives? Our environment? How do we form connections to the objects in our lives and which are indicative of our life and its legacy? Through technology, our environments become more and more intangible, with memories being stored ‘in the cloud’ rather than on the fireplace mantel. As humans still long for a connection to their past and feel the want to encapsulate the present memories for the future, how are objects that occupy our space chosen? What motivates our choosing and maintenance of objects – sentiment, craftsmanship, economy, size, function, novelty, and rarity? Can objects aid in our pursuit of mindful living?

SOMETHING TO LOOK AT

Our unique media furniture creates the perfect focal point for those who like to look  at what is essentially an artwork in wood cabinetry when they take a break  from watching their TV.

COMPOSITION IS KEY– COLOR, CONTRAST, PATTERN

Composition is key, whether closed or open. Our media cabinetry systems—the wall-mounted TV Quilt and the floor-standing WORK n PLAY, each combine color, texture and pattern in unique ways.

CUSTOM SIZES

Our two media furniture systems come in standard and custom sizes. The Brooklyn, Lofty, and Penthouse TV Quilts are shown here!

CUSTOM FUNCTION

And all of our media furniture can be customized to offer other functions, such as a bar,

A desk,

Or simply storage.
