Made from milled and lacquered MDF, the cabinets come in a variety of shapes, heights and colours, and can be combined in numerous configurations.

Smaller containers in contrasting colours are also available, designed to compliment the family of sideboards.

The cabinets are mounted on either a low, recessed base or metal square-section legs that raise the cupboards further away from the floor.
