Flexibility in furniture with CABINET+ by SKNYPL
SKNYPL, the innovative architectural office, is excited to introduce CABINET+ at its debut at the Collectible Fair in New York City. This groundbreaking piece of furniture challenges traditional design by addressing the dynamic relationship between furniture and space. Typically, the form and function of furniture are determined by the space it occupies, whether residential or public. However, SKNYPL reimagines this by presenting a solution that adapts seamlessly to evolving environments.
CABINET+ is a versatile furniture system composed of four distinct elements: two stools, a coffee table, and a shelving unit. Each piece serves its own individual function when in its disassembled state. However, the real innovation of CABINET+ becomes apparent when the components are reassembled, forming a unified shelving system designed to store books and other items. This transformation allows the piece to evolve and adapt, offering a practical and aesthetic solution to changing needs and environments.
The materials chosen reflect SKNYPL’s commitment to quality and sustainability. Made entirely of birch wood, the design is both robust and timeless. In this latest version, the furniture system is further enhanced with eco-friendly linen wood stain, available in a variety of vibrant colors. This addition not only elevates the visual appeal of CABINET+, but also aligns with contemporary ecological considerations.
What truly sets CABINET+ apart is its flexibility in configuration. The individual elements can be arranged in various ways, both vertically and horizontally, thanks to the strategic placement of connectors on all sides. This allows the user to experiment with an infinite number of combinations, tailoring the design to suit their specific space and needs. The ability to expand and connect multiple units creates a modular system that can grow as required, offering unlimited possibilities for customization.
In its ability to adapt to both spatial changes and daily routines, CABINET+ embodies a forward-thinking approach to design, prioritizing functionality without compromising on aesthetics. This adaptability ensures that the furniture remains relevant and useful, regardless of how the surrounding space or user’s requirements evolve. Through CABINET+, SKNYPL presents a versatile, sustainable solution for the modern home or office, one that seamlessly integrates into various settings and lifestyles.
