‘woodenheap’ walnut cabinets by boris dennler
following up on designboom’s coverage of swiss designer boris dennler’s previous ‘woodenheap collection’, the most recent series showcases transformable furniture forms composed of six identical drawer units. conceived to be stacked in various configurations, the project becomes appropriate for an object seemingly made of stacked pieces of wood. recalling 18th and 19th century six-drawer chiffonier’s, the cabinet self-consciously refers to 1960s-70s anti-design while revelling in notions of the hidden and the surprise.
