The Weave Cupboard looks like a giant basket. Inspired by the most common kind of wood and weed weaving, it is a minimalist piece of furniture with an extra bit of crafty pizazz. The light raw material and basic silhouette balances the braided bits that not only gives the Weave Cupboard its name, but also its crowning feature.
Created by Swedish designer Lukas Dahlén, the Weave Cupboard has a softness about it that is due to the subtle curve of its edges. The weaves around the length of the buffet may serve a predominantly decorative purpose, while the top and bottom plane of the cupboard is held together by sticks kept together like a Windsor chair.
