Description

A statement piece, central in a room, showcasing traditional, fine cabinetry with a modern and sophisticated look. Two sunbursts of different radii extending into the rounded sides reflect the central theme of the sun. The straight eucalyptus veneers give the impression of rising (sun)light and opening the doors repeats the dark/light contrast. Inside, the bookmatched Ziricote drawer fronts depict a landscape with two rising suns. Traditional woodworking techniques like piston fit drawers, sunbursts, inlays and handsawn dovetails as well as unique design features should differentiate the piece from mass-produced furniture with 90 degree angles. Dark and rich Ziricote, shiny silver stringlines and drawer bases of soft/ tactile Aniline leather are supposed to add elegance and exclusivity.
