The Wardrobe for the Master Carpenter Exam
Craftsmanship meets innovation – this is the story behind Sebastian Schwarz’s masterpiece wardrobe, a project designed and built for the Master Carpenter Exam. Utilizing the vacuum bag from Columbus, this masterpiece combines functionality, aesthetics, and technical expertise into an impressive piece of furniture.
The wardrobe was commissioned by the Meier family, who live in a single-family home in Georgensgmünd. After an energy-efficient renovation of their 1995-built home, the family desired a modern and individually tailored wardrobe that matched their high-end interior style. The goal was to create a practical yet elegant solution for their entryway.
The project began with an analysis of the space. Floors, walls, and ceilings were renovated to create a harmonious environment:
- Floors: Small white tiles were replaced with large-format gray porcelain tiles (50x100 cm).
- Walls: The old wallpaper was replaced with textured plaster in a soft beige tone.
- Ceiling: Dark wooden panels were swapped for white gypsum board with integrated LED lighting.
The design evolved from a simple rectangular shape into a unique, curved form with a quarter-circle, making the wardrobe a striking feature.
The wardrobe offers:
Storage Solutions:
The project was not without challenges:
Precision in Veneer Lamination: The curved panels required multiple pressing cycles, as only two layers could be laminated per cycle.
Adjustments: Changes to the dimensions of the connectors necessitated reworking some parts, such as drawer fronts and organizer boxes.
Thanks to meticulous planning and skilled craftsmanship, the final result fully met expectations.
The completed wardrobe perfectly combines form and function. Its elegant curves, practical storage solutions, and high-quality materials make it a highlight in the Meier family’s home. The assembly was secured with sturdy wall anchors to ensure safety and durability.
This masterpiece demonstrates how traditional carpentry and modern technology, such as the Columbus vacuum press, can be combined. The result is a wardrobe that is not only functional but also showcases the creativity and craftsmanship of Sebastian Schwarz. An inspiring example of the potential of innovation and precision.
