INSPIRATION FROM CLIENT’S WORK
Concept The main concept for the construction of the cabinet is drawn from the geometric shapes - polygon and triangle which are reflected a lot in our client’s work. Form and shape are areas or masse which define objects in space. Form and shape imply space; indeed they cannot exist without without space. The design of the cabinet space. is a number of polygons and triangles put together resulting in the formation of one three dimensional polygon divided into various triangles. The polygon acts as the outer structure or the shape of the cabinet and the smaller triangles inside the big polygon act as the drawers in the cabinet. These together result in the formation of a cabinet that is inspired from the work of our client and reflects it in its appearance.
