Redefining Comfort: The Mental Health Studio Project

In a historic tenement house in the very centre of Warsaw, the “Można Zwariować” clinic was created – a space designed with comfort and peace in mind, founded by psychotherapist Ania Cyklińska and social activist Cleo Ćwiek. Zuzanna Gąsior from Thisispaper Studio is responsible for the project. She breathed a balanced aesthetic, combining functionality with natural materials into the interior.

This project proves how well-thought-out objects, finishes and material combinations can be used to achieve a coherent and intimate effect in an interior.

Fronts from the Norwegian Wood collection emphasize the harmony of this place, creating a background conducive to reflection and conversation, while the entire concept redefines the standards of therapeutic spaces.

Functional kitchenette

The design of the space was based on an IKEA kitchenette with fronts in Natural Oak finish – Pure model, complemented by Dividers panels from the Norwegian Wood collection. Their warm tone combined with the bright surroundings creates an atmosphere of homely peace, perfectly in tune with the character of the place.

Hallway with attention to detail

The hallway, which is the first place that takes guests in its warm embrace, has been equipped with a PAX wardrobe, which, to maintain consistency, features also Natural Oak fronts in the Pure model. The subtle wood grain adds cosiness to the interior and harmonises with the natural colours and minimalist design of the entire room.
