Chinese Japanese Style Cabinet

Eighteen panes of glass and, behind them, a great deal of elm.

Contemporary and made in Hebei Province, China, this Japanese style cabinet is elm wood from top to bottom. Its design looks to Japanese kitchen chests, in which sliding doors saved floor space in small rooms and kept dishes close at hand. The upper section runs behind two glazed sliding doors. The lower section repeats the same grid in solid paneled doors, with the grain of each panel doing its own thing. Four drawers with iron pulls run along the base. Seventy-one inches long, 17.5 deep, 71 high.

Everything you own will have to rise to the occasion.
