Croydon Cabinet, 2018
Recently commissioned to design and make the furniture for an extension to a house in Croydon, Orest has designed this cabinet to be a piece of furniture that embraces curves and materiality.
The main feature of the cabinet is the brass doors. Made from plywood, they are pressed into shape using a vacuum with a brass veneer laid over the top. This piece combines a contemporary aesthetic and techniques with traditional attention to detail.
