The A line cabinet may be a simple design that is comprised of clean lines, but it is far from simple--at least aesthetically. It features a stacked, skewed look that gives it an almost haphazard appearance while bright red handles run vertically down its center, introducing a pop of bold color to the overall design. Interestingly, the A line cabinet's red handle masks the fact that it is comprised of six drawers and not the three it initially appears to be.
Created by Israeli designer Hagit Pincovici for Italian furniture brand Colè, the A line cabinet beautifully displays the talent of this third generation artisan. Instead of succumbing to tradition, however, Pincovici embraces her modern sensibilities while relying on her craftsmanship heritage to design solid, quality furniture pieces.
