Description
Sharing its name with the world-famous sliding doors, windows or room dividers that we associate with traditional Japanese design, the Shiba Media is a wonderfully balanced and varied piece of furniture design. Utilitarian in its practical offerings as a storage solution, the designers of the piece refuse to remove its quintessentially modern and luxurious sense of craft. Paying homage to the shared cultural history of design, this piece propels itself into the future with all that has been learned.
Let’s start with the most prevalent of the materials, the glass structure of the piece. The frosted glass that makes up the exterior, base and internal shelves of this piece is alluring to the sense as it teases the eyes with its translucency. Offering itself as a bright and smooth take on classical design, the piece is clean in its execution and the glassy finish allows any lighting in the room to play upon its surfaces. The sliding door that occupies the the front of the piece can be finished in a variety of different materials and is both an expressive feat of contemporary design, as well as a clever solution to clean storage as it allows you to conceal and close away your items.
