Zwets was approached by the CEO of the furniture label Lensvelt for a collaboration. There was only one catch to this partnership and that was for Teun Zwets to "create a [modular collection](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cabinet) that could be produced in a series." The result is a chic collection of cabinets that were all made from upcycled metal sheets with a punctured texture and sourced from Lensvelt's furniture manufacturing processes. Featuring a total of 10 monochromatic and eye-catching designs, the capsule is called Le Petit Boudoir.
