The Dressed Cabinet is a product you immediately fall in love with as soon as you see it 'in action'. You can 'dress up' this cabinet by weaving fabric through and around the frame. By placing a weight at either end of the fabric, it will be put under tension and this will determine the final shape and function of the design; open or closed, formal or playful, static or dynamic. The Dressed Cabinets are designed by Puck Dieben as her graduation project at the Design Academy Eindhoven. The cabinet is inspired by a childhood memory. As a little girl, Puck used to build cabins by hanging bed linen from her bunk bed. Towels became sliding doors and cushion covers served as storage compartments. As a designer, Puck has revived the fun she had building huts as a child. With her design she shows what fabrics can do for a simple shelving unit. The Dressed Cabinet has been part of the Vij5 collection since 2017. The flexibility the cabinet offers and the endless variations that can be made with it make it a perfect Vij5 product. When we contacted Puck, we also liked her positive and cheerful attitude, which made a collaboration happen very quickly. Thanks to the high quality of the prototype that Puck made for her graduation, we only had to finalise a few (production) details and make a link to the right producer. A new Vij5 product was born! The metal frame of the Dressed Cabinet is made by our steel manufacturer in Bergeijk. The frame consists of separate parts, so that the cabinet can be made in two different heights. Before we assemble the cabinet, the steel parts are powder coated in a colour of your choice.
