About the Item

UMAMI U1 black oak cabinet by Phormy Dimensions: D 46 x W 162 x H 83 cm. Materials: Oak, powder coated steel base. Different materials and sizes available. UMAMI, (or umame, from jap. ? ?) - one of the five basic tastes recognized by man. The existence of separate taste receptors that respond to glutamate which is the source of umami taste, was coined in 1908 by Kikunae Ikeda and in 2000, the researchers distinguished the taste of umami from the salty taste. Familia UMAMI is a furniture family inspired by the Japanese culture and its love for simplicity. Just as the umami taste was distinguished from the salty taste, in the case of a family of dressers, the designer has exposed the internal body of the furniture, thereby breaking the generally accepted concept of furniture design. Such exposure refers in its form to the characteristic Japanese built-in walls and their divisions. The internal structural elements have become the decoration of the external form. PHORMY is a brand founded by an architect Max Kobiela. Max Kobiela. Designer, founder of PHORMY brand. Architect, graduated from Faculty of Architecture and Urban Planning Department at Cracow University Of Technology, works in the field of architecture, interior design as well as design and graphics. First drafts of furniture were the answer to private needs of the designer. They were created out of conviction that if there is no suitable form in the market, it has to be designed. Soon after next projects of furniture were created and with time the concept of gathering them all together under one brand name - PHORMY (pol. forms). This is how a family of furniture, based on simple design and precision, was born. Over the last few years, the Phormy brand products have been recognized and awarded in a few competitions. The awards received: LOWBO, PUFFY, KALEIDO and COMO.
