# Maternal-Themed Sculptural Cabinets Adam and Arthur Design the Dynamic Mother and Child Cabinet By Amy Duong | Published 2022-10-30 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mother-and-child References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2022/10/28/adam-arthur-mother-child-cabinet-straw-marquetry/)  Design duo Adam and Arthur introduce the Mother and Child Cabinet which has a [monochromatic look](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/curved-cabinetry-collection) and as the name suggests, references the look of a mother next to her child. The cupboard measures out to be two meters in height and is decorated with [straw marquetry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/agra-forma), which is a technique that includes forming patterns from flattened ribbons of straw and embedding them into furniture. This design is made up of 16,000 individual pieces of white straw that create a pearlescent sheen and breaks up by interspersing black bands. The contrasting black stripes are made from straw and dyed in-house by the designers themselves. The cabinet has [two humps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/archetypes) that are made to represent the mother and child, which opens with two sets of double doors.
