Pegboards of the week

Today I'm talking to you about a new challenge that Quark has taken on, and it's the Pegboards of the week.

A new concept put in place because we want to constantly stimulate our creativity. The goal is to produce a special Pegboard per week with a particular theme and which is outside of what we usually offer.

In 2023 we will continue to explore new, atypical, interesting and inspiring forms. The goal: to keep the spark of the beginnings throughout the Quark team. In short, stay alive! At Quark we like challenges, and we especially like setting up team projects and challenges. And it was a great opportunity!

So what is a Pegboard?

Let's start at the beginning, what is a Pegboard. Here is our answer on this subject: a Pegboard is a perforated hard panel. There you are, you are not very advanced 😄

The Pegboard is a modular storage solution . The system consists of drilling a board with regularly spaced holes.

The holes are designed to accommodate dowels, hooks, wooden pins or even shelves, which allows you to store various objects according to your needs . Whether you want to create storage space for your teas or jewelry, the Pegboard offers great flexibility . This system was first used in 1962 and is commonly used in retail to hold products to hang using steel rods protruding from the board.

There you go, now you know everything!

A true passion

With Quark , we find the Pegboard to be an extraordinary object. Yes, quite simply. And now we want to share all the possibilities of the Pegboard with you. When you look at a board with holes, you quickly realize that you can find an infinite number of combinations!

Whether to decorate or store all your everyday objects, the Pegboard adapts perfectly to all uses.

We are working on new uses for this object. They are simply infinite. So we have some time ahead of us. But the most important thing for us is to be able to share the Pegboard and create the Quark System together ! Yes, there is ambition here.

A new challenge

Since we are passionate about Pegboards and we like challenges, we want to push our limits. During a team meeting we had the idea of ​​exploring shapes, materials and textures for our Pegboards. The concept of Pegboards of the Week was born. We therefore produce one Pegboard per week. These Pegboards are out of the ordinary and thus open up new perspectives. So why take on such a challenge as a team?

It's important for the entire Quark team to always innovate and test new things. This develops the creative spirit as well as team spirit. This also allows you to never fall asleep and always come up with new concepts. In addition, this challenge creates a bond within the team. It’s a meeting time where the whole team can give their opinion. We also listen to our community. We obviously ask for your opinion through our social networks. Indeed we like to talk to you. We want to understand your expectations and discover with you the products of tomorrow. This is very important to us and this is how Quark is growing.

The Pegboard of the week is therefore a great team effort which includes all the Quarkos! If you want to participate and follow this challenge and all our projects, you can follow us on Instagram 👍

Pegboards

Here are the Pegboards we have produced since we launched the challenge:

Pegboard of the week #1

The goal was to change the matrix of our Pegboard. Usually we use a 3 cm die. This week, we are therefore offering a grid with a pitch of 6cm. We produced a series in December at the request of customers.

The idea is excellent. It's a small step aside. But we realize that this transformation takes the Pegboard away from its industrial aspect. And that gives it a whole new look. The mesh of points disappears in favor of the raw material: wood. This gives it a more minimalist and therefore more refined appearance which might please some people.

In short, a first Pegboard of the week that goes off the beaten track while remaining simple and stylish.

Not all accessories are compatible due to a more spaced grid, however if you select them carefully you can still find what you are looking for :)

Pegboard of the week #2

The goal is to create an original Pegboard that changes from what we usually offer but while keeping the minimalist side of our Pegboards! With its rounded, almost molecular shape and its refined design, it is perfectly in tune with the times and allows you to give a touch of originality and novelty to your interior.

For this second Pegboard of the week we wanted to create a unique and designer product. The challenge being to create a new shape but keeping the minimalism of the Pegboard. So that customers can use it with ease and can place all the accessories of their choice. In short: create a simple, practical Pegboard. Mission accomplished ✅

On this model the grid is a classic grid, (With a pitch of 3cm), all accessories are compatible.

The shell #3

For this Pegboard, the inspiration is simple. We miss summer so to wait, we created a Pegboard of the week in the shape of a shell to remind us of the sea. For this one, we decided to represent a particular shape and have a little fun!

With its scallop shell shape and green color, this gives us a Pegboard that combines the two elements: water and earth. This is a first for Quark to create such a special and unique Pegboard. And this required us to make several attempts in the workshop before arriving at a satisfactory result!

In short, a brand new perforated panel inspired by the elements, with a refined and very elaborate design to give it its shell appearance. On this model the grid is a classic grid, (With a pitch of 3cm), all accessories are compatible.

The Puzzle #4

Inspired by the puzzle, we went even further! We created the first Pegboard that can assemble and disassemble. This Pegboard of the week is like a puzzle. This time again the possibilities are endless. We want to innovate even more and this week we are offering you an even more modular perforated panel. Its designer, fun and colorful appearance will make it the ideal companion for your future laboratory!

This unique Pegboard allows you to combine decoration and a fun, colorful storage system while keeping the minimalist side. With its four colors, it gives a touch of cheerfulness to your interior.

As with all our other Pegboards you can add accessories to be able to store and decorate as you wish. Because on this model the grid is a classic grid, (With a pitch of 3cm), all accessories are compatible.

In short, a new innovative, creative Pegboard of the week with a Montessori game side that you might like!

Yin-Yang #5

Discover our new Pegboard of the week: the Yin-Yang Pegboard. Inspired by a zen atmosphere, we chose to create it to bring a touch of softness to our catalog. At the beginning of the design we wanted to create a contrast with the work and the black. And that’s where the idea of ​​Yin-Yang was born. A symbol that is important to us and is also very aesthetic.

This Pegboard gave us a hard time because of certain parts, especially on the thin part of Yin and Yang. It was therefore one more challenge, which was of course successfully achieved brilliantly by Quark's amazing team.

✅We liked this project because it is still off the beaten track. It is this curiosity and this desire to always innovate that leads us to offer you a Pegboard like this.

As with all our other Pegboards you can add accessories to be able to store and decorate as you wish. Because on this model the grid is a classic grid, (With a pitch of 3cm), all accessories are compatible.

Diamonds #6

This sixth Pegboard is directly inspired by the Venice carnival. With an assembly system like a puzzle, these little diamonds assemble and disassemble to create the atmosphere you want. We want to experiment with new geometric shapes because they are visually very interesting shapes but also very aesthetic for the home.

With its diamonds of different colors it is possible to vary very simply and change in the blink of an eye.

As with all our other Pegboards you can add accessories to be able to store and decorate as you wish. Because on this model the grid is a classic grid, (With a pitch of 3cm), all accessories are compatible.

The bear #7

And finally the last one on the list (for the moment 😉) is the Bear Pegboard. Inspired by the animal environment, we wanted to test shapes aimed at the world of childhood. So we chose the theme of animals. It is simply perfect for evoking dreamlike worlds. This Pegboard is ideal for a child's bedroom, a playroom, or even in the bathroom.

Its cute shape and neutral color allow you to add a touch of originality to your interior.

All accessories are compatible with this Pegboard so you can have endless fun and decorate and tidy your interior like with any other Pegboard.

I'm finally finishing this first presentation of the Pegboards of the week. The project continues and I will put pen to paper in a few weeks to share with you the rest of this adventure. You can follow the Pegboards of the week project live on Instagram
