Ducale Cabinet
Metal, wood and stone
82.75 x 74.75 x 23.5 in
A homage to the most iconic building in Venezia: Palazzo Ducale, the medieval Doge’s palace with its unique pixelated marble facade and geometrical patterns designed through the different colors of marble.The cabinet represents one of the geometrical rhomboids modules of the facade and sits on a corner unlike most cabinets. Its stability is provided by a large metal base that supports it and keeps it balanced.The openings are multiple and hidden by the interlocking tesserae which compose the front mosaic. The internal storage space is vast and suitable for a credenza or bar cabinet.
