Description:

This wall-hung whiskey cabinet is a playful creation, exploring a piece as both sculpture and useful object, where function, form, and material cohere to create an experience as much as an entity. While cabinets are traditionally defined by rectilinear logic and visual restraint, this piece departs from convention. The sculptural case construction highlights the movement and relationship between the curved sides and the coopered door, allowing the side profile to play an active role in the overall composition rather than remaining incidental. 

The cabinet holds a single bottle of whiskey and two glasses. The main material is American Black Cherry with copper. Patina copper has been used for the back panel and solid copper has been used for a hand-shaped pull. The cabinet is finished with a new oil-shellac finish method that I've been experimenting with; it brings the best of both worlds with shellac's quick film building properties and oil's durable, lustrous properties. 

Thank you to Eric Edwards, who generously photographed this cabinet and did an amazing job.
