A big geometric shape with a bold orange facade makes the ONAR by CHI WING LO a dramatic round storage solution that immediately draws attention and sparks curiosity.
Instead of showcasing items for display, this cabinet conceals objects within and puts on its own display of contemporary design tempered with traditional Chinese influences. A completely revitalized approach to furniture and home decor, the circular element can be rotated so that the cutout hole reveals only a few drawers at a time, making this an intriguingly interactive design. The rich wooden panelling on the back can be replaced with a mirror so that the whole cabinet becomes a dual-functioning piece that helps to conceal clutter.
The ONAR round storage cabinet is sculptural in shape and design while maintaining a harmonious style.
