Whereas many pieces of furniture from the mid-twentieth century opted for veneer, this cube stands out for its pure solidity. Produced by Salin Møbler in Nyborg, Denmark, this compact piece of furniture is a masterclass in woodworking, elevating construction to decoration.

The first thing that catches the eye are the corners. Here, the finger joints are not hidden, but left visible as a tribute to the craft. The interlocking 'fingers' of solid teak not only demonstrate the indestructible construction, but also provide a beautiful graphic contrast on the sides.

However, true refinement lies in the details that are often overlooked. Note the hinges: these are not made of metal, but entirely of wood. They are a technical masterpiece and ensure that the lid opens silently. A subtle leather strap limits the movement of the lid and adds a tactile, natural element to the sleek design.

Inside, the cube offers a variable layout, with a removable/sliding insert tray, which testifies to its well-thought-out functionality. Originally often intended as a luxury sewing box or side table on wheels, this piece of furniture is now a popular object for various uses due to its timeless quality and sculptural character. It is 'Danish Design' reduced to its purest, most honest form.
