The Angled Cabinet is constructed with striking junctions where all three beams touch each other equally. By rotating the beams around their axes, a new connection is created at the intersection, resulting in a strong construction.
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 specific cabinet was specially made for OBJECT Rotterdam, Design District and DDW 2022 in a beautiful pink wood oil. Together with the brown glass panels and lilac shelves, this makes it a special item! After the photos, we adjusted the junctions of this cabinet by slightly lowering the horizontal slats, which means there are extra holes, but it is otherwise beautiful.
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!
