Designer Nika Zupanc is known for her aesthetic taste. We have earlier told you about her Konstantin Beta ride-on toy designed for 20LTD and her “Gone with the wind” furniture collection at Milan fair, 2010. The latest from this Slovenian designer is a steampunk furniture collection called “Self Discipline” at the Salone Milan 2011. The collection includes a chandelier, desk, chair and cabinets controlled with brass levers in traditional style. The retro looks are combined with hidden storage that is controlled with the lever mechanism. The "homework chair" features a height adjustable seat made from a wooden shell, with leather upholstery, aluminium legs, brass wheels and lever beneath the seat for making height adjustments.

The "homework table" is made from green ultrapas, breech wood, polypropylene paper, brass parts and it features aluminum and brass legs with brass lever for height adjustment and hiding and open-up the storage space that discreetly sits on the tabletop. The allures lies in the hidden storage space besides the paper-like pleated rack to keep your private bills and cheques.

The prêt-à-porter styled homework cabinet also features the paper fan drawers, which shrinks and expands as per the desired usage, and it too comes on brass wheels.

The Pompon lamp completes the classy aesthetic interiors with its shiny gold cage looks to brighten up any space.

The classy retro style furniture will bring back the nostalgic feel of the Victorian era to your contemporary interiors.
