Aurum Cabinets - Limited Edition of 20
-
Architects Karla Vázquez from KV and Caterina Moretti from PECA collaborated to create The Aurum Cabinets, which are sculptural works and unique pieces that aim to open honest dialogues about the objects closest to us.
Each piece was meticulously crafted using traditional artisan techniques, the talent of master craftspeople, and excellent materials. Quality materials are fundamental to the creation of this collection. Wood holds a tree's history in its unique and irreplicable rings, much like fingerprints. Gold, often a sacred symbol, represents the sun, mysticism, value, freedom, and immortality.
The Aurum Cabinets are the same height but different dimensions and made of sandblasted wood covered with delicate 23-carat gold leaf. They feature two hinged doors that can create visual symmetry or asymmetry against the pieces' traditionally wrought x- or cross-shaped legs.
Whether alone or in a group, the Aurum Cabinets transform their environments through reflections and the light and shadow play of the gold contrasted against the visual continuity of clean lines.
