About Prism 餐邊櫃

Prism餐邊櫃的設計靈感源於寶石之美，以及寶石如何吸引我們的目光，如何透過切割來增強光線的反射。這件作品既浪漫又銳利，是一件永恆之作。設計二人組視其作品為功能性藝術。Prism的鏡面金屬頂部旨在成為觀賞者的創意泉源。它可以反射美麗的天花板、窗外的樹木、城市的摩天大樓，或放置在其上的主人最愛物品。

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.
