Ultimately, the stacked chests become a cabinet with a beautifull repetitive character. Cabinet of Chests is made in a limited edition of 8. The robust yet fine & detailed piece is carefully crafted from solid walnut wood with stainless steel fixings. As one of the oldest pieces of furniture, a chest has always been a fascinating object. The trivial principle of a contained volume is nonetheless intriguing for the mistery of what is kept inside. With carefully selected materials the robust exterior, that is initially there to protect our goods inside, transforms into a character of it’s own.
The fine crafted walnut chests are equipped with wooden hinges and clamps that make the opening and closing of the chest into a ritual that addresses the designer's relation and affection with the moveable language of mechanics. Cabinet of Chests transforms five chests into a cabinet that takes us one step further in the evolution of furniture. The towered chests become one and show a beautifull repetitive character that can be broken by opening up to reveal a writing desk, for instance.  Numbered,Numbered less
