The Alba Credenza from CB2 Features Subtly Folded Elements

— May 27, 2014 — Art & Design
The Alba Credenza by Jannis Ellenberger is designed for home retailer CB2. The origami-inspired furniture piece is a versatile storage unit that can be used to house one's television and other electronics or displayed in a modern bedroom or dining space.

The white furniture piece is accented with asymmetric ridges that resemble the subtle folds of paper-made Origami artworks. These subtle door reliefs create 3D views and feature contoured elements that act as the storage unit's handles.

Standing atop a solid ash wood frame, the Alba Credenza by Jannis Ellenberger features three geometric doors that are covered in a hi-gloss white lacquer finish. The storage unit also features exposed joinery details that add an raw, industrial element to its clean and modern aesthetic.
