japanese designers  junpei tamaki and iori tamaki have created the ‘snowscape’ cabinet with sliding doors as part of the snow collection. hexagonal holes on the side of the shelves overlap to create different patterns of snowflakes. the layered panels display crystal images, transforming the appearance of the piece. ‘snowscape’ is on display during milan design week, 2014 at salone internazionale del mobile.
