Requirements of buyers to the appearance of furniture, originality of design, the quality of finishing and accessories increase every day. The furniture is literally "trying on" to your lifestyle, style preferences, features of the dwelling. Serial products are far from always able to satisfy these requests. Our conversation is about the individual approach to the interior.There is nothing surprising that people seek to create a comfortable, cozy and unique interior in their home, where they spend a third of life. At first glance, it may seem that it is easy to buy furniture for the living room, bedroom or nursery, because the market is saturated as ever. However, standard walls, cabinets, dressers, racks, working tables with rigidly specified sizes often turn out to be great for a particular room or, on the contrary, small. Their "filling" also does not always meet the user functional requests. Especially difficult to furnish compact rooms serving housing owners for different purposes - even one unsuccessfully purchased subject can turn into a constantly annoying factor.
Furniture of non-standard dimensions allows you to organize space more rational is the main motive that the owners of small apartments are guided. However, often refuse to finished furniture and people who are not constrained in housing. They drive other desires: they want to create in their house a truly unique situation reflecting not only (and maybe not so much) their life needs, but also taste addiction. For the expensive Italian set, they may prefer furniture designed exclusively for them.
If you leave the exclusive author's models aside, then purchasing non-standard furniture, consumers take into account three main aspects: uniqueness, functionality and design. As for the fourth aspect of the cost, options are possible here. Today, the most common solutions are modular and built-in furniture.
Most domestic and European factories form non-standard furniture ensembles according to the modular principle, they differ from the sets of an old sample. Its essence is that to satisfy individual requests to consumers are offered several "tools".
Workshop
Initially, it is worth reading the catalog with the entire set of elements included in the modular program, with finishing options, color gamut, glass species, accessories- and only after that make an order. The shop of the salon will be offered to watch one or two compositions composed on the basis of the system elements that will clearly show what it can happen. It makes sense to look at the sites of those producers whose products you are going to purchase. There is an opportunity to see the compositions in the interior, as well as directories of various finished solutions. It will become a good virtual tip, especially when working with an extensive program. And in any case, you have the right to count on the help of the salon designer.
First, the modular program (system, set) consists not from finished items, but from diverse elements, modules unified in height, width, depth. The buyer itself (or with the help of a designer) is gaining modules suitable for it. The number of components may vary and sole several dozen, even exceed a hundred. The ATEA means that the program laid a lot of compositions and allowed to manipulate elements, as if children's cubes: as you want, you will fold.
Secondly, it is easy to choose your finish option (in the program at least two or three).
Thirdly, all elements are offered in several color solutions.
Fourth, the program is distinguished by a constructive diversity. The same element can be with a deaf facade or glazed, equipped with drawers open or combined. Adverses are sliding, folding, swinging. The module filling is also varied. Thus, layout capabilities are expanding. For example, the deaf facades turn the module into a wardrobe, doors and glass shelves in a showcase, open shelves in the rack. A module with roller blinds-blinds in one case (with a sliding panel for the keyboard) will serve as a workplace, in another-cabinet for audio and video equipment. And a lot of examples. As a rule, such systems are universal in their capabilities, individual with realization and allow to furnish almost any room at home.
Ways of choice. Optional option of a set of modular furniture can be chosen in two ways. (There is also the third one we will talk about separately.)
Trust professionals
As a rule, the modules are brought to the customer in a disassembled form; Their installation is better to produce with the help of the firm's masters. The cost of specialist services is up to 10-12% of the amount of the order, but this ensures quality and ensures that in the event of any problems, the manufacturer is responsible.
By catalog. The first way is to select elements by the manufacturer's catalog. The composition of modular programs, the possibilities of layout of elements and, of course, the external design of furniture of different manufacturers differ. The wider the range of modules, the richer the program, the more prospects for individual modeling opens in front of the buyer.
Thus, the system of modular furniture "Carmen" ("Furniture company" Shatura ", Russia) includes cabinets of various configurations, racks, dressers, stands, and attachments. Factory" Dyatkovo "(Russia) offers a new modular series" Concept ", In the development of which the trends in the European design and the production of objects were taken into account. Filling program includes three groups: a cabinet composition, anxulated furniture and beds.
One of the advantages of this furniture program is the so-called infinite cabinet system. The buyer can both purchase ready-made modules and independently make a wardrobe composition. The cabinet is gaining from single door or two-door sections that have a variety of internal organization: filling shelves; shelves and barbell; shelves and drawer; barbell and drawers; inserted couches. Thus it is not difficult to create your own wardrobe, which perfectly fit into the interior. The facades can also be selected: with a mirror or glass, "nut", "beech" or "cherry".
The minimalist CUBO program ("Kostromameabel", Russia) provides for more than 70 diverse elements in the decors of "Wenge", "Tik", "Oak Fine Line", the most fashionable colors, among which are black, white, purple, orange, green. One of the extensive programs of domestic manufacturers- modula-next (Mr.Doors, Russia) - consists of 128 components. At the same time, modules are both all kinds of cabinets and their parts and tables, stands, and even beds. Program of classical furniture "ONDA" (Filippe Grandy, Russia) more than 180 modules. This includes special elements from a wood array - to solve the angular space and creating compositions with a turn along two walls of the room, beautiful bent terminal components - to complete the composition, as well as stained glass and other decor elements that are manufactured in Italy especially for this program.

1. Digital retro style furniture is made in the traditional decor "Nut Antique". The fireplace group framed decorative arched construction
2. In the interiors of traditional or historical style it is difficult to enter modern technique. The cabinet, equipped with a blind-shutter, perfectly cope with this task
3. All components of the modular set of Aosta are a continuation of each other, which makes it possible to rationally and compactly furnish a small room.
The BJRKKVIST factory (Finland) manufactures cabinet furniture from the birch array according to the samples and in accordance with the traditions of ancient furniture skill. Three dozen sections plus numerous additional and transitional elements serve as a constructive to create a number of compositions of any destination (cabinets, libraries, living rooms, halls, dining rooms, children's, countless combined options such as the Library Library, Cabinet-Hall). Sections are easily inserted alone to another, and it will take quite a bit of time to assemble the desired rack, chest of drawers, the end, the desktop. Sections are released in nine primary colors: dark brown, light brown, chestnut, mahogany, natural birch, black, white, green, blue. A special charm is attached to the interior of the style of "Patina" (for example, light gray, blue, green, creamy).
Drift modules. It is possible that when building an ensemble, someone and 100-200 standard modules will be not enough, it will seem to change the configuration or dimensions of individual components, and maybe even invent your original element, which will bring the highlight not only in the composition, but also in the interior Overall. Separate manufacturers, especially large Italian, offer a service for the manufacture of additional modules with minor deviations of sizes from standard.
It is very convenient for customers. True, any piece thing sometimes costs 50-80% more than the serial, and the delivery time of furniture from abroad, and without that considerable (on average 45 days), in this case increases.
Actual trends. The original layout of the selected module is a necessary condition for the individuality of the interior. One of the most sustainable trends is an arbitrary alternation of open and closed elements, wide and narrow niches, racks. Interestingly looks at the dysfype composition. Hinged open or glazed elements are combined with closed lower bases. Complies include shelves that are connected to adjacent modules using fastening parts, or shelves on consoles. "Interruption" shelves visually facilitates compositions.
Increasingly, designers of modular furniture use metal, glass, plastic in their programs. Aluminum frame in which matte or transparent glass is inserted, remains one of the fashionable elements of the design of minimalist facades. Last programs are manifested by the latest trend-reflective lacquered surfaces, brilliant and bright. Particular compositions are especially relevant over floors.
The modular principle is used not only in classical minimalist programs, but also in those that are reproducing historical styles.
What dictates the price? Modular cabinet furniture produce many factories. Alf, Effetre, Emmebi, FBL, Forni Mobili, Galli, Gierre, Glorida, Imab Group, Jesse, Mercury, Poliform, Premobil, SMA, Mercury, Poliform, Premobil, SMA (allialy), Pariform, Paron , Danona, Vinsent, IKEA (Sweden), BRW (Poland - Belarus), Bjrkkvist IDR. Products of domestic producers are very popular: "Anger", "Glazovskaya Furniture Factory", "Dyatkovo", "Europe", "Kostromameabel", "Lotus", "Furniture company" Shatura "," Stupit ", Aldo, Astron, Dedal, Filippe Grandy, Mr.Doors IDR.
The price depends on the configuration, the material that is components: what they are better than, the products are more expensive. The cost of the value of the structural structure of individual elements, as well as the number of parts is influenced.
Functional and practical programs are present in any price category: from budget sets with the most necessary reserve of standard modules worth 15-30 thousand rubles. - Milena series (Dedal), Samba-3 composition ("Lotus"), "Prestige- 4 "(" angstrom ") - to extensive design collections of famous European brands worth 130-150 thousand rubles.
Not consumer goods and indochiveThere is a certain category of people who want to do in the furniture in general there was no spirit of serial production. Otherwise, they go with their ideas, sketches in a furniture studio or to a factory that offer to make furniture on a special project using all means available to this manufacturer. This will be the next step towards individuality. This approach to furniture we decided to allocate in a separate chapter.
Very popular "indochive" of children's, jobs. So, individually, the "knocked" interior of a nursery, in which all zones are furnished, taking into account hobbies, interests, the color preferences of the young owner, will contribute to his good mood, full-fledged holiday.
What is "to order"?
The concept of "furniture to order" in relation to modular systems we have our own meaning. It denotes and order specific models by catalogs (the dealers of numerous Italian factories work in Russia), and trade in samples, when furniture items are not sold in the store, but accept orders for the manufacture and delivery of similar instances. The production of furniture compositions made up of section modules that the client selects from a rather extensive list of proposals - this is also the furniture to order.
Finished desktops (more often rectangular) in small-sized multifunctional rooms are losing M-shaped streamlined ergonomic table tops of complexes made to order. Aesley take into account that with the advent of computers of the desktop function, immeasurably expanded, the role of a well-thought-out single complex that combines a written and computer tables, supplemented with rolling and attached storage elements, increases. Convenient tables passing into other compositions, such as stellage. In general, a smooth flow, the transition of some elements into the other is another attractive tendency of individual furniture. It is convenient, it's allotted from the point of view of the composition, aesthetic, finally.
Furniture for an individual project is a constructive delight, a variety of materials, a wide palette of colors and textures of decorative coatings, including veneers, up to those made of exotic rocks, various glass processing technologies, stylish accessories and accessories. Due to this, it is possible to withstand any stylistic focus of furniture: minimalism, classic, ethnic, AR Deco.
As for constructive delights, modern technologies allow the bent facades, and bent transition elements for angular compositions (such as in the products of Russian companies LUMI, ECALUM specializing in radius partitions, dressing rooms and wardrobes).
No less important for customers - "individuals" has a functional content, that is, individual planning of the internal space. By the way, this factor also often encourages a person to prefer to buy a finished product to order similar, but with another "stuffing".
When "lifting" individual furniture, in contrast to the stream, it is not always possible to save the material. This is definitely reflected at the cost of registered furniture: it is often more expensive than serial. Other factors affect the cost. Depending on the quality and quantity of materials used, accessories, accessories prices of similar products may vary several times. However, the pricing policy here is always transparent here, the calculation goes in the literal sense of the extent, so you can change the final cost, refusing more expensive materials in favor of economical. For example, replace inserts into a frame with decorative plastic instead of glass or preferred facades from matte glass-artistic. As for slaughter materials, it will be possible to achieve significant savings here, let's say not to choose an array, not MDF, lined with veneer, and laminated chipboard IT.D.
If we are talking about products made of expensive materials, with the use of notched decors, spectacular accessories, you need to be prepared for prices that vary at the level of the cost of the finished European furniture is quite high.
Furniture to order on individual projects make a bureau of Arte-office, "Ascension Furniture Manufactory", "Duke", "Glazovskaya Furniture Factory", "Mekran", "Samorelgo", "Tehnoform", Aldo, Ecalum, Komandor, Lumi, Mr. Doors, Versal, Visconti (all- Russia) IDR.
Built into spaceA special niche in individual design is the furniture built-in is the most popular method of organizing space, separation of the house on the functional zones.
For most consumers, built-in furniture is associated with wardrobes, perhaps, because they are doing the same companies. After all, the insertion pioneers were precisely the wardrobes (see "IVD", 2007, No. 7), which are the most common type of similar furniture. Nevertheless, it includes not only wardrobes and hallways.
The elements of the housing can be partially or fully served the ceiling, walls and floor of the room with which this object is integrated. At the same time, the bearing components are connected to each other and fasten directly to the wall, ceiling, floor. It is this constructive feature that allows built-in furniture to literally fit into space, dissolve in it, to become part of it, flexibly adjusting to any layout nuances, to be "consonant" plastic plastic, hide its shortcomings and emphasize the benefits, and makes it so relevant both in the living room and in the nursery, and in the bedroom, and in the library. ALDO, ECALUM, KARDINAL, KOMANDOR, LUMI, MR.DOORS, VISCONTI and other domestic manufacturers manufactures products in size specified by the customer, with an accuracy of a millimeter, without any restrictions on dimensions. At the same time, the built-in furniture makes it functional even those corners of the room, which, when furnished, traditional cabinet furniture are obviously non-working, - it eliminates the "dead zones" and releases the precious area. The place of "registration" of embedded furniture can be a niche, angles, openings, attic, space under a staircase, which, as a rule, remains inconsolable.
There were those times when the wardrobes were universal, utilitarian objects for the hallway. They have long turned into a stylish interior addition and often act as the basis of multifunctional compositions. Today, for the cabinets of this type, at the stage of repair or construction, they specifically provide for niches into which they fit like this. Diverse by execution, they are able to support any stylistic decision - from classic (LUMI, Mr.Doors) to avant-garde.
Built-in compositions include different components on functional purposes: cabinets, including wardrobes, book racks, open niches, showcases, sections for audio and video equipment, folding secrets, computer tables, etc. Manufacturers specializing in sliding interior partitions (Aldo , ECALUM, LUMI, VERSAL, VISCONTI), design built-in furniture in a single key, which undoubtedly increases the artistic value of the interior.
As for the door canvases, the most economical option is filling them with transparent glass. The door of the cabinets often decorate with mirrors, both simple and various finishes, for example, with drawings. It can be typical images and ornaments of different styles, including those customized, in exact accordance with your sketches. Matte mirrors are presented in several colors (for example, "silver", "bronze", blue, pink idr.).
Application in stained glass interiors is becoming increasingly popular. Door canvases due to them turn into real works of art. A variety of options for filling the canvases of the cabinets, produced by LUMI and ECALUM, will surprise even the most sophisticated consumer.
So, ECALUM began to decorate the doors of natural leather cabinets. Ulumi has more than 30 standard tinting of the tree, and if necessary, the toning can be selected individually. Trendy decors, leather inserts, high-gloss enamels, spectacular plastics uses to create Mr.Doors compositions.
One of the latest trends in the furniture design - floral ornament. Visconti offers exclusive variants of the trendy direction: insertion "Spring" and "Summer". The combination of a marine-bluished tone of panels with an ornament from flowers will fill the room with the joy of spring awakening nature, and the sunny heat of the paints of the insertion pattern and the soft greenery of the panels will create a feeling of eternal summer.
LUMI, which has in its composition such divisions as the design bureau, the laboratory of the author's furniture, the workshop of the artistic processing of glass, the workshop of the furniture restoration workshop, attracts to work on projects (this applies not only to the built-in furniture) artists, furniture-fabric workers, and If necessary, and cutters. Therefore, its furniture is often approaching the status of the author.
Designers and designers LUMI combined the bright, original creativity of the indigenous people of the Australian continent with a clear, laconic style of cabinet furniture. Fragments composition
What will be the filling of built-in furniture from the inside, also depends on your needs and tastes. It can be open sections, drawers or practical shelves. A car closet you will find many additions (hung, boxes, baskets, special cell shelves and separation of various sizes and configurations), turning a simple comfortable wardrobe to a true work of domestic art.
The cost of built-in wardrobes and interior partitions is calculated based on the price of 1m2 of the facade area, which is about 7 thousand rubles. Thus, for example, a library that includes a cabinet with a height of 3m and width of 4m, will cost about 100 thousand rubles. - depending on the materials and the mechanism of sliding doors. Set (system of racks and lockers plus table) Mr.DOORS will cost approximately 40 thousand rubles.
Furniture to order, both modular (according to the catalog), and made according to an individual project, will always give joy, comfort and comfort, and you will feel involved in its creation.
The editors thanks Ecalum, Lumi, Mr.Doors, Visconti, Moscow Rome for help in the preparation of material.
