ARCHELLO YOUR CONNECTION WITH ARCHITECTURE

Design: Steven Holl, 2007

Riddled front is the result of an advanced technological process, patented by Horm. What makes this piece truly unique is its innovative, thin wooden door, which holds the container sides thus allowing hinge-free operation. In addition, the laser-cut fretwork lets the internal light through, projecting a myriad of lights and shadows around the container.

Structure made from melamine-coated and lacquered particleboard. The thickness of the structure is 18 mm, the back panel 10 mm, and the fixed central divider 36 mm. Sides and doors made from a material designed and patented by HORM, composed of a sandwich of wood and fabric 2.2 mm thick, which, thanks to a number of superficial incisions made with a laser cutter, can be folded up like origami. Door frame made from solid walnut. Neodymium magnet protected and hidden by the wood used for the door closure. Transparent tempered glass shelves, with polished edge, 5 mm thick. PVC or felt bumpers. Internal lights. Painted ABS adjustable feet with aluminium finish. The doors of the storage unit do not have metal hinges to fix them to the structure. The hinge function is performed by the fabric inside the door. The doors have been subjected to 50,000 opening and closing cycles and passed the test for: “Durability of doors UNI 8607:2005” with flying colours.
