Lanzavecchia + Wai's rethinking of the conventional sideboard in the form of the Spaziale Series Commode is incredibly refreshing. Unlike 99% of armoires and dressers, this piece's rigidity is only along its edges. Just to be different it sports a soft coat of fabric to conceal the items inside.
No cabinet doors and no drawers can be found around the eccentric object, instead, one large opening on one end is a loose cloth passageway. It may remain tied closed like a sack or spread open for a peek within. Other than this means of entry, the user is encouraged to cut his own holes and slits in the stretched material of the Spaziale Series Commode to act as additional points of access.
