The Surface Cabinet by Couture is Sculpturally Calming

There is something very calming about the Surface Cabinet. From its simple design to its curving lines and ashy coloring, it really has a zen quality about it. More than that, it also has an artistic presence since its curving details give it a sculptural look overall.
Created by Swedish designer Jessika Källeskog of CONTOUR, the Surface Cabinet imbued all of these details, and therefore has a three-dimensional aesthetic. I particularly love the contrast between its general boxy shape and the soft wavy door, which undulates forward as well. The resulting bulging shape makes it a serene and harmonic furniture piece for the home.
The Surface Cabinet is made out of a grainy oak veneer.
