Dime by Splinter Works

toma — Fri, 19 Jul 2013 16:55:44 +0000

Dime is a dynamic piece evoking a spinning coin. The individual curved segments, glide and shuffle to reveal its function. When closed it has a poetic repetition of form, softened by the texture of rosewood. Upon opening, the curved segments have a pleasing resistance, each contracting evenly until fully opened. The edges of the rosewood leaves are painted in a high gloss which highlights their shape. The playful form allows the user to hide or reveal the worktop and storage solutions. Hidden electricity points enable the use of appliances, with shelving and a curved drawer for storage. The worktops are made of black and gold Italian Portoro marble. The door handles are made of cast steel and directly echo the shape and design of the whole piece.

Dime can be installed individually or as a group and can function in myriad ways, a sculptural cocktail cabinet, additional worktop space for preparing food, a self contained coffee station, a home admin desk, or a beautiful discrete flexible work pod.

GRAND Lock by Mathieu Gustafsson

In the LOCK cabinet, the ball clasp looking mechanism stands out and becomes the centre of the attention. The ingenious way this cabinet actually locks is reminiscent of the details found in old fashioned women’s handbags where the brass finishing along the edge of the doors ends in a small brass ball giving the generally minimalistic piece originality and a strong identity. Like the clasp on a handbag, this shiny version lures and invites you to unlock it to reveal the pine veneered interior, inside.

A cabinet inspired by handbag. Here the ball clasp locking mechanism is the center of attention.
When opening, the pine veneered interior reveals itself much like the precious fabric inside of a handbag.
