Sleeping place above the wardrobe
The designer’s dwelling is his hallmark. Szymon Hanczar has a long history of interior design and product design. He considers every project to be a challenge. The biggest experiment for him was working on his own apartment. According to Shimon, he deliberately abandoned spacious housing. He wanted a small but functional space where it would be comfortable to live alone. After several years of living in an apartment of 13 square meters, Shimon admitted that he does not need more, and this housing option is very suitable for the dynamics of a big city.

Shimon immediately gave up the wallpaper on the walls. In a small space, this is quite justified. Instead, the designer painted the walls white with a nice beige tint. In order to add a touch of creativity to the interior and solve the problem with bike storage, Shimon installed his bike directly on the wall. It became an accent spot of a small space and took over the attention, visually distracting the eye from the small size of the room..

So that the presence of a hammock does not overload the space, a model with a transparent mesh was chosen. This makes the hammock almost invisible..
