Cork games cabinet
While working on a drinks cabinet for the same interior, Furnish studio were having problems sourcing a small cabinet with specific dimensions. The cabinet would be dedicated to storing board games in a social space.
A number of design concepts were explored but an appreciation for a previous Geometric drinks cabinet provided inspiration to explore a new material process further.
Many samples were made resolving the aesthetic of pigmented cork, sharing a similar quality to pink limestone. I envisaged a cabinet that looked as if it had been crafted from a single piece of stone and having fine detailing that would not normally be possible in the material.
The pigment colour has been matched to the subtle pink in the art work above the piece.
Thank you the cabinet is so beautiful, I just adore all the work you've done, It’s really appreciated!!
