The Design

About Gong Bar Cabinet

Gong is a bar cabinet designed for residential interiors. Two sliding doors are made of handmade palisander wood marquetry. The doors open to reveal three wooden shelves, dimmable lighting and a mirrored back panel. A tempered glass shelf at the base acts as a structural element that improves stability and adds storage space. The structure and the handles are made of solid brass profiles, oxidized to a medium bronze finish. The cabinet takes its name and its inspiration from the gong, a traditional symbol of wealth and strength in Far East culture.
