Description

This CD cabinet was inspired in form and construction by a pair of wine crates that my wife had placed as a temporary solution. There had to be a barrier to safely close the stairway opening to children. One problem was that a construction that connected to the stairs upstairs would have looked very strange because the wall on which the cupboard was supposed to rest was bricked at the wrong angle. We also wanted to maintain an open view between the hall and the seating area.

Custom CD furniture

Most connections were made by means of lamellae ("biscuits"). Dowels were used to reinforce the connection of the crossbar with the first box and to anchor it in the existing plank under the first box and against a support plank in the wall at the other end of the crossbar. Wood glue was of course also used for the connections. The entire furniture therefore contains no metal parts, except for the aluminum shelf supports for the shelves. The top shelves are adjustable, so that books can also be placed.

The dimensions of the project

It concerns three separate boxes that are connected by a stabilizing bar. Therefore the sizes can only be given approximately. w = 190.0cm h = 52.0cm d = 16.0cm
