Architect Raymond Mathewson Hood (1881-1934) was famed for his Art Deco-style buildings, most notably the Tribune Tower in Chicago and several of Manhattan’s most beautiful high-rises, such as the American Radiator Building. The ‘Hood’ cabinet by Dutch designer Bart Vos pays tribute to the man and his vision, with the strong, clean lines that epitomise both Hood’s and the Bauhaus design theory, which values utility as beauty. With its simple system of assembly, configuration and extension—both in height and width—, ‘Hood’ is extremely flexible and versatile, allowing you to be the architect of your own life.

End pieces
Wooden end pieces can be placed at either end of a shelf, with room behind—between end piece and cabinet sides—for wiring et cetera.
