Truman

Truman sat in the company’s archives for years, with prototypes built but never finalized, waiting to rediscover a new light. Truman has finally been brought to completion, maintaining its original aesthetic and functionality unchanged. Truman is a container cabinet made up of a full height compartment with shutter doors and a series of six drawers placed in a column laterally running the full depth of the cabinet. The body of the piece is finished with opaque white lacquer and decorated with black circles which support the movement of the frame. Haphazard geometries, counterposed sinuous lines juxtaposed with clean cuts, and unexpected container compartments. It’s a cabinet that astonishes, piques our curiosity, and makes us smile with its unusual aesthetic and retro colors. Comparable more to a sculpture than to a piece of furniture, Truman seems to respond to the manifesto of Czech cubism of the early 1900s, exploring the creative use of geometry and fragmented shapes, not only on an aesthetic level but also on a constructive level.
