The Angled Cabinet is constructed with distinctive junctions where all three beams touch each other equally. Rotating the beams around their axes creates a new connection at the intersection, creating a strong structure.
When you see this structure in an isometric perspective, it is as if you are looking at an architectural skeleton in which you get a different image from every angle.
NOTE: This particular cabinet is the last example in solid oak, we have now switched to ash with a new supplier.
This cabinet is the new model (glass panels 32cm wide instead of 29cm) and comes with 3x blue glass of 3 compartments long. Another difference with the old series (which can be seen in the photos) is that the long slats are now mounted a few cm lower. This makes the cabinet flat to transport and easier to assemble yourself.
The wood is Dutch oak, cut in our forests during planned thinning and/or Dutch 'city wood'. The cabinet is socially produced in the Netherlands.
For the design of the Angled Cabinet Studio Thier & van Daalen was inspired by the sketches and drawings of artists and architects such as Le Corbusier, Rietveld and Joost Swarte, who use a unique isometric projection in their handwriting. Fascinated by wooden frames because of their strong, clear and repetitive language of form, they translated this principle into a new repetitive pattern of beams and joints in wood.
The cabinet is designed as a modular system and is available in different variations by repeating the beams in different lengths, heights and widths.
p.s. Every cupboard is made to measure and to order, we will always contact you after ordering to fine-tune the details!
