the reveal cabinet by studiomama

While surfing one of my favorite design blogs, The Contemporist, I came across the Reveal Cabinet by London based designer Nina Tolstrup of Studiomama and was immediately drawn to its simple lines and unique design. The piece contains a series of window-like cutouts for storage and display while retaining the traditional function of a cabinet with additional interior storage. Tolstrup's selection of recycled wood floorboards for the primary material of the cabinet offers an interesting textural quality to the piece that contrasts its sleek form.

While the image of the open cabinet with the series of cutouts and shelves of various proportions and sizes is alluring, I'm not sure the interior storage is very practical. This design would be just as fabulous and potentially more functional if the interior spaces were designed with typical bookshelf-style shelving. Either way, it's pretty to look at and would be an interesting addition to any home.
