FUJI THE CABINET

FUJI is a handmade cabinet composed of cherry and hard maple wood. The four-panel sliding door system allows access to the main draw, and two secondary storage shelves. With the veneered edge radiating outwards as subtle accents, the cabinet resembles the quietness embodied within a mountain but obtains openness and liveliness simultaneously. FUJI reflects the warm and light nature of the mountain Fuji. Its high stability and handmade quality make it attractive to use in a variety of home settings.

The name of FUJI is reflected directly on the sliding panels of the cabinet. Cherry veneer is applied onto plexiglass panels on both sides. The drawer face is covered by stone textured paint as a reminder of the “Karesansui” in Japan. The radiant wood grains on the front edges is a detail design that adds a pinch of liveliness.

The above 3D printed prototype is fabricated in the scale of 1:10. It shows the original design with the two-panel sliding door and two drawers inside the cabinet. Both the sliding door and the drawers can be opened for a more direct representation.

The cabinet body is made by plywood with cherry veneer. The drawer is supported by center-mount single rail. For the concern of storage, the size of the drawer is enlarged compare to the original design.
