CLOCKWORK Lanzavecchia+Wai for Exto
103 x 41 x H150 cm
A cabinet that celebrates some of the functional elements that are used to build and open container furniture and that are usually invisible because they are hidden on purpose. The handle is inspired by the mechanisms of fine timepieces and makes the opening and closing movement almost playful. Even the hinges are exhibited as external piercings that accompany the rotation of the doors with their form.
“We have enlarged hinges and locks, emphasizing and enhancing them to the status of jewels which further decorate and embellish the container”.
Lanzavecchia+Wai
Exto furniture is inpired by the Made in Italy tradition while maintaining a key focus on innovation.
As an alternative to the refined surface of the solid Canaletto walnut, a semi-gloss handmade blue patina coating was chosen – perfected especially for the project – which recalls fine Chinese lacquer.
Shelves covered in leather with elegant visible stitching or finished with opaque lacquers.
Structural elements and a decorative handle that can be in brass with gold finish, in polished nickel or in bronze.
Integrated internal LED lighting.
