Description

Named after the fabled identical twins of the zodiac, the Gemini Cabinet gets its namesake from its two symmetrical doors featuring beautifully carved sculptural handles. Made entirely from European oak, the cabinet has soft and silky-smooth edges that radiate warmth and make it very tactile. What looks to be a static centre shelf in the cabinet is brought to life thanks to a magnetic mechanism which allows the user to smoothly spin the centre section to reveal more shelving.
