Steve Jobs said, ‘When you’re a carpenter making a beautiful chest of drawers, you’re not going to use a piece of plywood on the back, even though it faces the wall and nobody will see it. You’ll know it’s there, so you’re going to use a beautiful piece of wood on the back. For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.’
If you have stuff, you have cabinets! But as a designer, we know that everything can be elevated to the next level. So even if a cabinet may have the ordinary purpose of storing all your things, the fact remains that they can also serve an aesthetically pleasing design, using a different mix of materials, designs and just plain oomph factors. We bring to you a collection of cabinet designs that are sure to be the attention grabbers wherever you use them!
