Executed in richly toned solid and veneered wood, the cabinet features three sliding doors with beautifully crafted woven wood panel fronts—an uncommon and highly decorative detail that adds depth and texture to the façade. The case rests on an elegant elevated base with finely proportioned legs and stretchers, giving the substantial form a light and architectural presence. Circular recessed pulls are carved directly into the door frames, emphasizing the designers’ minimalist approach while showcasing precise craftsmanship. Behind the sliding doors, the interior is thoughtfully organized with shelving and a bank of drawers, three of which has light suede lining—an elegant and rare detail reflecting the high level of craftsmanship and intended use. Refined joinery, excellent material selection, and restrained ornamentation underscore the quality of this piece and the enduring appeal of Ilse & Ove Rix’s work.
