About Exquisite Wood Boekenkast
Exquisite Wood is een boekenkast gemaakt van iepenhout. Het ontwerp is geïnspireerd door Chinees meubilair en combineert vierkante en ronde vormen voor een eenvoudige en waardige uitstraling. De onderdelen worden verbonden met metalen vlindermoeren, en sommige delen maken gebruik van pen-en-gatverbindingen. De onderdelen worden uit recht hout gesneden door middel van numerieke besturing bij het frezen en snijden, wat materiaalverlies vermindert. De boekenkast kan met de hand worden gemonteerd en gedemonteerd, waardoor productie en transport eenvoudig blijven. Dankzij de tussenschotten kunnen boeken en voorwerpen worden gesorteerd en opgeborgen.
