Aside from the bedroom and the couch in front of the TV, probably the area in my house that I interact with a lot is the entryway since I do a lot of coming and going every day. Before leaving the house, I stand for a few seconds there trying to remember if I’m forgetting anything. It’s important to have a piece of furniture in this transitional space that can hold more than just my thoughts. The Valkom entryway furniture concept offers a fresh perspective on how we organize and interact with this vital area, blending functionality with a distinctly modern and minimalist aesthetic.
Traditionally, an entryway might be cluttered with disparate furniture pieces: a coat rack here, a shoe bench there, perhaps a small table for keys and mail. The core idea behind Valkom is to move beyond this fragmented approach and consolidate these essential functions into a cohesive and thoughtfully designed system. This integration not only contributes to a cleaner, more streamlined visual, aligning perfectly with minimalist principles, but also enhances the practicality of the space. Instead of navigating around several individual items, Valkom presents a unified solution that caters to all your transitional needs in a single, elegant piece. This holistic design promotes efficiency and order, transforming the often-chaotic act of entering or leaving the home into a smoother, more pleasant experience.
Designer: Faith Demirci
This entryway furniture is made from yellow-painted metal tubes that are wrapped around the structure. It also is attached to a wooden seat with a storage in the lower section. So what you basically get is a seat for you as you put on or remove your shoes and then a place to store your footwear. The frame stands as a rack where you can hang things like your coat, shawl, hat, umbrella, and other things you may need to have handy before you leave.
The material used would contribute to the overall minimalist and contemporary feel, while also ensuring durability and longevity. The emphasis on clean surfaces and integrated design speaks to a desire for a clutter-free and visually harmonious entryway. This concept goes beyond mere functionality; it aims to elevate the everyday experience of entering and leaving our homes. By thoughtfully considering the flow of movement and the items we typically interact with in this space, Demirci has created a system that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. It’s a testament to the power of good design to transform even the most overlooked areas of our lives.
