Horm - Riddled Cupboard

Designed: 2007 Riddled Cupboard Origin: Italy Co designed: Steven Holl and Nick Gelpi The perforations in ?Riddled Front? permit the passage of light, giving form to an unusual shimmering display around it and creating a singular “hide and seek” effect, as if it were a sensual garment made of a lightweight fabric, delicately revealing the body of the person wearing it. The lightweight Canaletto walnut doors of ?Riddled Front? do not obscure its contents, but leave them barely visible. The front and sides are made of fabric sandwiched within Canaletto walnut, eliminating the need for metal hinges and preserving the linearity of the structure. Only light, the emblematic construction element, interrupts the surrounding environment: dynamic and variable porosity, like sunlight. Faceted doors, like diamonds which, for the ancient Greeks, were fragments of stars that had fallen to the earth. The top and back are in white or black lacquered wood. ?Riddled Front? is available in two different heights, with a single sheet of continuous wood creating the two sides and the four doors uninterrupted in its design, in keeping with the elegance and formal simplicity of this madia cabinet. Size: H 66 cm, L 192 cm, Depoth 50 cm.
