Brass Wine Cabinet

The doors are carved into shallow facets, so each panel catches the light at a different angle.

This wine cabinet is contemporary, made of wood and brass. Geometric faceting has deep roots in Art Deco design, where angular surfaces were used to bring movement and light to flat planes. The cabinet is a tall rectangular case in pale, cerused-looking wood, with two doors, each divided into raised triangular planes that meet at a central point. Some facets have a fine, raked texture. The case sits on an open brass stand of slim square rails, forming a box frame with a base stretcher. It is 32 inches long, 20 deep and 66 high.

A cabinet that has thought hard about angles, and about wine.
