Interest in bunkers and their construction is booming in the global real estate sector. This widespread need to prepare for an imminent global collapse has prompted the creative studio WANNA to ask: What response could interior design provide in emergency living spaces? The answer is "Cozy Bunker," a reinterpretation of an underground shelter with which, alongside the company Formica, is present at the 59th edition of Casa Decor.


Inspired by brutalist architecture, Cozy Bunker reinterprets a subterranean refuge that serves as a hideout in extreme situations as a hiding place to disconnect.  The project invites us to rethink bunker design by combining two previously incompatible concepts: well-being and survival. Based on this conceptual duality, the space proposes a dialogue between opposites. On the one hand, the solid construction of the access corridor, with a stony appearance, conveys security and inaccessibility. On the other hand, the enveloping minimalism and chromatic warmth of the shelter's interior evoke relaxation and hope, providing a pleasant experience to help abstract from what is happening outside.


The project, entirely built with high-pressure laminates from Formica, metallic laminates from Homapal, and innovative surfaces from FENIX, showcases the great versatility of these materials in terms of design, geometries, and volumes, as well as their richness of colors and finishes. For the design, WANNA starts from principles such as playing with heights, taking advantage of the four and a half meters of space, structural solidity, indirect light, and volumetrics.

En un contexto en el que la construcción de búnkers está en auge en todo el mundo, el estudio creativo WANNA se pregunta: ¿Qué papel podría tener el diseño de interiores en los espacios habitacionales de emergencia? La respuesta es “Cozy Bunker”, una interpretación de un refugio subterráneo con la que, junto a la empresa Formica, está presente en la 59ª edición de Casa Decor.


Inspirado en la arquitectura brutalista, Cozy Bunker sirve como guarida en situaciones límite y como escondite para desconectar. El proyecto invita a repensar el diseño de búnkers aunando dos conceptos hasta ahora incompatibles: bienestar y supervivencia. Partiendo de esa dualidad conceptual, el espacio plantea un diálogo entre opuestos. Por un lado, la solidez constructiva del pasadizo de acceso, de aspecto pétreo, que transmite seguridad e inaccesibilidad. Por otro lado, el minimalismo envolvente y la calidez cromática del interior del refugio, que evoca distensión y esperanza, proporcionando una experiencia placentera para ayudar a abstraerse de lo que ocurre fuera.


El espacio efímero ha sido construido en su totalidad con laminados de alta presión Formica, laminados metálicos Homapal y superficies innovadoras FENIX, y muestra la gran versatilidad de estos materiales, en cuanto a diseño, geometrías y volúmenes, así como su riqueza de colores  y acabados. Para el diseño, WANNA ha partido de principios como el juego de alturas, la solidez constructiva, la luz indirecta y las volumetrías.
