We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Falecki Furniture about their original and creative design work. Falecki Furniture is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
Falecki Furniture ("FF") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Vertical Furniture . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
FF : The primary goal for the future is to export the idea whether we make the furniture here in Australia or we license the concept abroad, the important thing is that good Australian design is being recognised around the world.
FF : The initial concept took just a few minutes to design and sketch on paper however getting it commercially ready for export has taken a number of months With various incarnations along the way. The concept is so simple that it almost felt too easy.
FF : I pursued an inspiration with this design. Looking at the limited space I had in my own dwelling and the fun my daughter has with jigsaw puzzles this design is solving a problem and satisfying a whim at the same time. This is what all good design should be based on.
FF : Our manufacturing is currently outsourced. Our manufacturer in Australia is capable of satisfying our domestic market as well as the export market. In the future as manufacturing viability fluctuates I hope to license these designs amongst others to abroad with the hope that no matter where my furniture is produced that its origins will be traced back to Australia and Australian design.
FF : I designed this furniture range for the mass market. This furniture is relatively inexpensive to produce and made of robust materials with no consideration for planned obsolescences. Dwellings are getting smaller so flexible space saving design solutions like vertical furniture will inevitably be embraced.
FF : Falecki furniture is for everyone.
FF : Tooless assembly and disassembly with uncompromised use. And it's Fun.
FF : Most unique aspect of my design is that the individual components of the furniture can be housed in a flat vertically mounted panel when not in use hence freeiing up valuable floor space.
