About Prism Kabinetra fandrahoana

Ny sideboard Prism dia aingam-panahy avy amin'ny hatsaran'ny vato sarobidy sy ny fomba itarihany ny saintsika, ny fomba anaparitahana azy ireo mba hampitombo ny taratra sy ny fihemotra ny hazavana. Sangan'asa tsy lany andro izay mamy nefa maranitra. Mahita ny asany ho zavakanto miasa ireo mpamorona roa. Ny tampony metaly mitaratra toy ny fitaratra an'ny Prism dia natao ho loharanon'ny famoronana ho an'ny mpijery. Afaka maneho ny valindrihana mahafinaritra, ny hazo eny ivelan'ny varavarankely, ny trano avo any an-tanàna, na ny zavatra tian'ny tompony indrindra apetraka eo amboniny izany.

Unique Properties: Prism sideboard is inspired by the beauty of gems and the way they capture our attention, how they are cut to enhance the reflection of light. We wanted to create a timeless piece that is romantic, yet sharp. We see our work as ‘functional art’, we wish for its mirroring metallic top to be a source of creativity for the beholder. It can reflect a beautiful ceiling, the trees outside the window, or the skyscrapers in the city, or the owner's favourite object placed on it.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 1080 mm x Depth 470 mm x Hight 830 mm
Tags: Prism, Maan Sydney, Sideboard, Functional Art, Metal, Wood
Production Technology: The body of the cabinet is constructed in a way so we could use offcuts from other projects.
Dark wood sideboard: Ethically sourced PEFC certified Tasmanian oak furniture board + Rimex stainless steel mirror made from minimum 50% recycled steel. Eco-friendly, recyclable glass beads are used to etch the steel.
Light wood sideboard: Ethically sourced PEFC certified Scandinavian Birch plywood + Rimex stainless steel gold mirror made from minimum 50% recycled steel. Eco-friendly, recyclable glass beads are used to etch the steel.
Design Challenge: We put a lot of thoughts in to the angles and positions of the panels, as well as the general proportions of our sideboard. We wanted to find the perfect balance between round and sharp.
Research: We have researched and been inspired by vintage cabinets from multiple eras that all had in common that they were elaborated and seemed to be designed from a perspective with art and beauty in focus. We wanted to design a sideboard that have all of above mentioned but yet feels very modern and sharp in it's design. The durable mirroring metal top part is the most exclusive material of the furniture and will be able to mirror the world of the beholder for generations.
