We have the perfect weekend DIY project using Porta timber materials and some creativity, you can create your own version of this one-off design piece, the ‘Sunshine Drawers’.
Inspired By Suburbia
‘Burb Mechanics’ is an art exhibition created by Nüüd Studio, celebrating the iconic materials and distinct design quirks of the Australian suburbia.
This installation displays themes of DIY, using a collection of raw materials, featuring products from the Porta timber range including MDF boards. This art installation featured at the National Gallery of Victoria as part of the 2018 Melbourne Design Week program. The artwork is a combination of creativity and Porta timber coming together to create a bespoke set of drawers. The functional furniture features quick and easy design application using Porta MDF boards along with some creative design flair.
Accompanying the ‘Sunshine Drawers’ is a how-to brochure, giving a DIY guide on the assembly of your very own one-off Porta drawers inspired by Nüüd Studio.
