The boss of Kewlox came up with the idea that he would like a new series of Kewlox Cabinets with recycled wood. However, the idea doesn’t appeal to me. Even though the wallpaper is the biggest sales success up till now, I still can’t bring myself to just dress objects up with a bit of wallpaper here or a print there. So I suggested coming up with a whole new cabinet collection.
Instead of focussing solely on new, brilliant ideas, I thought it would be more interesting to design a new range of cabinets as though they were the prototypes of the Kewlox Cabinets. The result is a series in various materials and colours (including recycled wood) of which the galvanised steel cabinet could well have been the original model, a bit like the Levi’s 201. The entire range looks like it’s been around for years, slotted retroactively into history. We shall be showing the cabinets in our building for the first time during the Dutch Design Week.
